All,
Here is the newest debut of my 15mm forces. So much for a side project, eh? In any case, these are my latest production, and they are my new favorite troops. There's a couple quirks, and (as usual) my pics aren't the best and don't do them justice, but these figures are absolutely amazing, and I'm pretty happy with my paint job too.
So, these are 15mm Modern US Marines from Flytrap Factory. I don't know yet where they will deploy, and I don't know what rules I'll be using them with, but they're ready. I painted them up in the US "Multicam" pattern, and I'm pleased with the way it turned out. Being that they're Multica, so suitable for temperate, tropical, and desert climes, I did my best to give them 'multicam' bases too, which amounted to a textured base painted desert sand, given a strong wash, then sticking some static grass to them. It looks okay, but now I just got two forces for the price of one ;) Which is why I didn't list these as "Modern Middle East" or "Modern Africa;" they're both.

The whole force, 25 guys from two packs. I bought the 'stand alone' USMC pack of 15 troops, and another Skirmish Sangin scenario pack that had three HMMWVs (which haven't been touched yet) and another ten Marines. Here you can see my 'multicam basing' in aggregate; not too bad. You can tell there were two different sculptors used for the two different Flytrap USMC packs, but they fit well together. Both packs have a lot of character, a lot of poses, and the gear weapons (for the most part) look fantastic. I say 'for the most part,' because there are a couple weapons in here that look a bit strange (detailed below), and several of the M-16s look like they're sporting Vietnam-era 20-round magazines... But I don't care, I still love'em!
And please forgive me; I'll be damned if I can take a good photo here lately. Part of the problem is there's been no natural light, it's been overcast here for the past couple weeks. So bear with me. These pics really don't do them justice, the figures are incredible.

Again, sorry for the dismal photos, but these little guys are fantastic and I can't wait to get them into the fight (and I haven't even started my 20mm campaign yet!).
Lots more posts to come of recently completed troops, and I should be starting my Balkans campaign any minute now, so stay tuned.
V/R,

British Marine, maybe he's been attached to show yours how to do it? :P
Oh my ??? :o :( >:(
I'm contemplating my response... The Pendraken Forum doesn't have a 'Dawghouse' does it? ;D ;D ;D ;D
