1/87 1CMBG Exercise in Wainwright, Alberta

[ErikT]

Back in my Army Engineer days, our Regimental QM was clearing out some old stuff and he gave me a bunch of these HO-scale models that they used to use for table-top wargame exercises before they went digital.  So, I painted a Leopard C1 and an M113 up, 3D printed a bunch of troops, and made up a base that resembled my old training grounds, the Western Area Training Centre in Wainwright, Alberta.  The only thing I forgot to do was make proper tracks in the sand and set the two models down a bit into the base. Argh.  Everything was painted using Tamiya acrylics.

Nice! Are they ROCO Minitanks?  They are very expensive now.

They are the ROCO brand, but most of them are broken and in pieces.  I got a small box full and I think I might be able to resurrect a half dozen decent models.
