More for the Desert .. Morrocan forces growing ... and some New recruits for the FFL

Another 20 or so finished... gives me about 50 , with another 30+ to do...

Plus some new recruits for the Foreign Legion - 'Beau Chumps' style ...

 

East Africa British Transport etc...

 Three Matchbox 1/43 Crossley's that I picked up at a Toy&Train fair at the end of July have been painted up for use in East Africa (against Sultanate of Nambuzo etc).

No I have a nice little mobile force....

Two Crossley's finished with canvas tops - these will provide transport for infantry

Reconaissance - one Crossley gets a machine gun and joins the other jalopy from Empress Miniatures (both have crews from Empress Miniatures with one or two head swaps).

More for the Desert .. Palm Trees and Morrocans

 Some palm trees for desert setups...

The first batch of Morrocans (2) ... another 40 infantry and 15 mounted figures remain to be painted

More for the desert ....

 Finished items for the Foreign Legion and their opponents the Desert Raiders....

A mounted officer for the Foreign Legion...

and some desert raiders on their camels ....

Evil Villain's Lair - trial table setup ...

I've had a fiddle over the last couple of days trying out a potential table setup. The aim was to use only stuff I had for the setup to give me some idea on how much I'd need to make (as a one off game, any new scenic pieces would have to be disposable).

The basic table coming together, the underground part on the left ...

the surface approach zone ...

The underground section with black back drops .......laid out with what bits I had to hand ...

The nefarious device ...

the surface section I can do easily; missing stuff for the underground lair - a few more rooms and corrdiros needed.

Desert Raiders...

 First batch of opposition for the foreign legion finished ... all from Redoubt Enterprises, some of the foot figures have been modified.

Bits and Bobs ...

A election of figures painted in the last couple of weeks or so....

For the desert ... some arabs and a Foreign Legion officer

Some pulp oddments ....

Some civilians, these are plastic Cluedo figures near 30mm in size (I spotted an old Cluedo game with the figures in a charity shop - one of the figures was missing from the box amongst other bits)
