Cold War Turks

I'm still testing the cammo scheme I want to use for the Cold War Turks.  These are Hummer Stinger carriers (Scotia UM025), these are painted in Vallejo US green with NATO black and orange brown cammo stripes.

A pair of M60A3s with dozer blades, one for each M60A3 battalion in the armoured brigade (Scotia UM046).  These look like serious pieces of hardware.
For infantry I tried an experiment.  I like the Mainforce infantry from Magister Militum, but these are mostly prone.  They are a bit chunkier than H&R or GHQ, but are more compatible with Irregular.  I wanted to model the Turkish infantry in a uniform more reminiscent of older US infantry, so picked up some from the Irregular Vietnam range while I was at Triples on Saturday.  On the right is a stand of US infantry (VN1).  In the middle is a US command stand (VN7) with a generic wheeled 120mm mortar from Scotia (NE008).  On the left is a Mainforce Milan team.  For me these work well together and I'm thinking of using Irregular for the standing figures - mainly regular infantry - and Mainforce for the more specialist stands (air defence, ATGM, etc.).
 
 
Thanks for looking.

    More and more, you put the rest of us to shame sir with your speedy brushwork and sprinkling flock. Great work loving the M60A3 with dozer blades they look a nice model.

    Thanks Richard. More to come once I get them photographed. Courtesy of a washout bank holiday weekend. I did manage to get another Flames of War multi-player game in on Saturday. Typically, now the sun has come out!

    Been in the shed building hills for the game in September, trying to make them match in with the Kallistra (Non Hex) ones I got at the Derby Worlds last year, I really like them and if I can match mine as much as possible. Great thing is Kallistra sell the flock they use on their stuff.
    Look forward to more pictures soon.
    Cheers
