SeanM Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I figure the men will take more work than the base so this is probably the right place for my next project. This is quite different for me. Saw these figures from Airborne Miniatures and while not great at figures decided I like the look of them.... Then I needed something to put them on and after some searching found this vignette base on Modern Armies in Minature made from plaster. Comes very well packed in a sturdy box with lots of padding. Each piece is then individually wrapped in plastic on a strong cardboard backing. And dry fits quite well straight from the box. Not sure what glue will work best in plaster. Or paint for that matter. The figures are very nicely molded with very little clean up required. Here the torso, legs, arms and some of the pouches have been assembled and the base coat of the AOR1 camo scheme applied And just in case I actually manage to do a half decent job on the base I also ordered this: The vehicle is there to give an idea if the size. The box is huge and weighs a ton. But it will feature in a future build... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanM Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 As well as the 3 Airborne Miniatures figures I'm also using the new SEAL figure from Legend who arrived yesterday. Quite a departure from their normal figures, which are nice anyway. This guy has 51 separate parts! So now I can start painting While waiting I continued on the base. It's pretty much done now but I might add some rubbish, old tyres etc, when placing the figures And now: oh, rumour has it that Legend SEAL will be released in 1/16 later this month 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanM Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 With about €70 invested I'm not about to give up. But it will be slow going doing the camo..... Plus I usually have 2 or 3 projects underway at any time and flitter between them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanM Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Finally got my hands on the 5th team member. Again, like the other Legend SEAL figure there are a lot of parts and all beautifully molded. Will resume this project once I get my ADATS Stryker complete 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
