Modern Australian reenforcements.

My modern Aussies have received some extra armour recently thanks to Les Applebee from Uncle Les Models. http://uncleles.net/
All his models are custom made as ordered and painted if you like, ready to hit the table top.

Here are some photos of the force so far.
The figures are all from Skirmish Sangin.  http://www.skirmishsangin.com/shop/

I do have the Empress modern Australians but they are off being painted to add to this force.
Photos will go up when they're ready.

They are all painted up in the jelly bean AUSCAM rather than the new CRYE PRECISION AUSCAM (Australian version of the MULTICAM) that is being phased in. That way I can also use them for Afghan Ops.

The survailance mast is magnatised so it can be removed to use as normal ASLAV PC.

BTR 80

Slowly building my modern forces up in numbers for Modern Bolt Action games.

Came across these 1/50 scale die cast BTR 80's on ebay at a cheap price, so I purchased two and repainted them.

 I'm happy with the way they turned out.


Original colours.
