The Saint Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 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, 1976Rhodesian Selous Scout, pseudo-column dress, 1976-77South-African Recces Operator, intelligence gathering mission, Angola, early 1980s.I hope you'd like them.CheersEric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 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 ! LOLCheers.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
