These are Humber Pig models in 20mm from Sgts Mess. I picked up a platoon's worth of transports, 4 vehicles worth. I painted these up quickly to get them ready for the Crisis Point game earlier this month, although they never made it onto the table then, unfortunately.
Nice crisp castings and simple to put together. Just the wheels to fit and the front fender/bull bars. I painted the bull bars separately so that I could put more detail into the front grill and lights, although there isn't a lot to do in that area. Just the lights and an ink wash for the grill.
All four vehicles ready to crash through a barricade or improvised road block.
Nicely detailed rear doors.
I'm not a big fan of some of the other BAOR vehicles from Sgts Mess, especially the FV432 which looks somewhat squashed to me, but that's just me. These I really like and I'm looking forward to getting a glimpse of the new Landrovers that are being released as well as putting in a plea for the Saracen and Saladin when I saw them at Triples. Well worth a look at their web site if BAOR vehicles are your thing or drop them an e-mail if you fancy the Saracen or Saladin.
These are going to find themselves on the streets in my Winter of 79 games.
Thanks for looking.
They look great- ideal for rioting street duty.

Thanks Pete. That's the plan, get them on the streets for Winter of 79.

Nicely finished models, very evocative of the period.
ReplyDeleteThanks Will. I'll probably match these up with some troops in berets or Glengarys, although guys in helmets will do if the civil unrest gets too intense.
