All,

Continuing my series of posts showcasing various manufacturer's modern 15mm offering, I hereby present Rebel Minis' Modern US Infantry.  The figs are relatively cheap, well cast (clean), nice and chunky with plenty of gear, though detail on a few of the rifles is a little soft.  Overall, excellent figures that I'm happy to have, and they painted up quick and easy.

I plan on using them as Rangers for Somalia in 1993, though this is not correct as all the M-16s have ACOGs on them; the figures look to be perfect for 2001 to maybe 2006 or 7, and so I painted them up in the Desert Tri-Color cammies; I think it turned out well, except all the troops look like they just left Cash Sales (for the uninitiated: they all look like they're wearing brand new uniforms, the colors are too crisp, no fading at all).  I painted them as having Interceptor vests, but in Woodland camo as common in 2003, and as the Rangers' "RBA" in 1993, and black (as opposed to sand-colored) goggles.


A look at some squad leaders.  To see the whole force, please check the blog at:

Great troops, and Mike at Rebel Minis was a pleasure to deal with, and very quick!  I'll be posting more soon, but for now I'm off on another mini-vacation with the family, so everybody take care and be back soon.  I can't help myself, so I'll be checking the forums and blogs on my phone, so feel free to comment

Good stuff, Jack ! 
The green's definitely green, this time. 
Cheers - Phil

Looks great!

A dry brush with a sand shade would provide some fading

Thanks guys, but on this screen they look kinda blue 

Ian - Dammit, I don't know why I didn't think of that!  I'll keep that in mind for the future, as I'm way too lazy to go back and mess with troops I've already finished.  Except re-basing I suppose, but hopefully I'm done with that too

V/R,
Jack
