These are resin and reasonably well painted, I'll be doing a little repainting and basing them as well. I also picked up some tractors from Wiking which are 1/87 but I think I'll get away with it, the intention here is to model the civilian tractors that local residents on the islands used to assist the troops. There are some cracking photos in "With 3PARA to the Falklands" by Graham Colbeck
and I'll be basing the vignettes on these, here's an example.
Vehicle wise I'm looking at civilian Landrovers, so Cararama and Oxford will be supplying. Below is an Oxford SWB Landrover that I've tarted up and based. Dougie
Excellent inspiration! What scale is that Land Rover - what's it look like with a 20mm figure next to it? Are those buildings HO scale?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kestrelia, The Landrover is 1/76th scale, I'll take a photo with a Liberation 20mm Figure and post it so you can see how it scales but its fine. The buildings are classed as OO which is the British model railway scale of 1/76. Hope this helps
DeleteGreat paintjob , had to check if it was 1/43 ... I guess u can use for winter of 79 as well :-)
ReplyDeleteHa Ha, the Oxford diecast stuff is great, especially for Winter of '79, looking at doing some of your Argentine GPMG teams next ;)
DeleteYou are on a roll Doug. Great chipping on the Landie, looks the part.
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy
