Falklands War - Early Wip pics.

[Techno]

'Bout time I posted some more of the little chaps.

L/R Argentinians..Reading map...Advancing under fire with FN FAL....Radio Op with 'walkie talkie'....Officer pointing with FN FAL
British Mortar crew with 81mm mortar....Not sure if I like the mortar tho' .....Also not sure whether there should be 3 rather than two in the crew....Anybody ??

Cheers - Phil.

3 crew at least, and the mortar should be a K support, not bipod.

Ta Ian...
Doesn't really show from this angle....Believe it or not... it's not a bipod...it is supposed to be the K support...Not sure if the 'bits' are really quite in the right place though !
It's so fiddly at this scale...and I'm not sure whether Leon will want me to 'infil' on the support to make it easier to cast....
Might actually be easier to do the 'K' 'more proppa'  if that's the case....

It is a Wip...So I don't regard it as the ultimate article.

Cheers - Phil.

[Gran76]

Over to you Leon !  .....I've still got a few to go yet though off the original lists.
Almost finished the British now....(I think)

Really looking good Techno! Did you have a go at the British bias we discussed? 

Which bit of bias Lemmey ? My brains gone completely AWOL  ....If anyone finds it .....can you let me know !

Cheers - Phil.

Bloodypredictivetextsonephones!  Honestly!
It was meant to say, "Did you have a go at a certain British chap we discussed?"
Or summitlikethat!

[Techno]

Not yet mate....
I'll have to wait for a certain piece to be pressed & moulded....then I can have it back & convert it !
That's still definitely on !!
I wondered what this bias was.....Thought I was cracking up more than usual.
You can all stop looking for my brain now.....Not that you'd ever find it without a microscope

Cheers - Phil.

Found it in with the bits of Green Stuff, did you? 

[Techno]

Finding tiny bits of Green Stuff is an absolute doddle in comparison Ray.

Looked at the mortar again - think its the angle, from front on it should look fine. You could do US, Canadian and several other nationalites for crew.

Hi Ian.

IF I can get photobucket to work later on, without it driving me totally insane again  ....I'll try and post a shot from the front to give you a better idea of the shape of the 'legs'.

Cheers - Phil.
