1/6th scale figures

[The Saint]

Aside my interest in military history, I have another hobby which is to create original 1/6th scale military figures.

I use commercial bodies and parts when available, more often than not reworked, modified, repainted, &c, and make the others in order to achieve as much authenticity as the scale allows.

One of my favorite studies is the 1970s-1980s wars in Southern Africa, so here are some related figures.

MAG gunner, Rhodesian Light Infantry, 1976

Rhodesian Selous Scout, pseudo-column dress, 1976-77

South-African Recces Operator, intelligence gathering mission, Angola, early 1980s.

I hope you'd like them.

Cheers

Eric

Very nice Eric,

Have you thought of doing a Russian Trooper from the Afgan period?

Cheers Octave.

Thanks for your appreciations.

Octave, I have completed several other figures of post-WW2 conflicts (French Indochina and Vietnam to date), but not a Soviet yet, though a Desantnik ca 1987 is among my projects. I have acquired the uniform and armament, but have to scratchbuilt the equipment. Another project is an Israeli Sayeret in 1973 - again it needs quite a lot of scratchbuilding.

Actually, this is not the projects that are missing, but time ! LOL

Cheers.
