Just thought I'd have a go at painting some Peter Pig Modern US Infantry...I've painted 2 different types of camo, one is the 3 tone BDU and the other is the Digital Camouflage ACU...

WW2 Desert Armour

Had some 15mm Peter Pig figures lying around for quite some time, I think they were a project my dad did for me. Looking at doing something that might not take up to much time while looking for a new job I thought I'd add a little bit to this set, might even look at rebasing the figures I have. This is what I've got on the bench at the moment: 5 Plastic Soldier Company Pzr 3 F and 5 Zvezda Matilda 2. The base coats were Flames of War armour spray base coat. The new phone has a rather good camera on it as well

A few updates to my 15mm US moderns...been quite bust recently with uni work that haven't had the time to do any painting at all...but have recently just got a hell of a lot of coursework out of the way and fancied a bit of light relief until other deadlines start creeping up on me so I thought I'd crack on with these guys... Just to fill you in on where all the bits have come from: - Humvees from Irish Serb, excellent models and good price (though I believe Peter Pig do some now as well, something that they were lacking when I was shopping) - Troops and vehicle crews from Peter Pig (the crews are converted) - Aircraft are 1/144 scale plastic kits bought on-line Close up of crew figure manning M248...the crew figures were converted from standard Peter Pig US infantry, the legs were hacked off and filed smooth and the webbing on the rear was also filed down so they they fitted in the turrets... Close up of crew figure manning .50cal MG... Close up of crew figure with M16...I tho
