King and Country - Black Hawk Down Wave 3

This was the third wave of Black Hawk Down figures from King and Country. This wave includes two HUMMWV vehicles and a fire team of three Rangers. Really like this series. Can't wait for some enemy combatants and some Delta Force figures.

King and Country - Black Hawk Down

On this day in history - October 3, 1993 - The Battle of Mogadishu! (Black Hawk Down)

King and Country dives into another era of modern combat. This time, they released Rangers from Task Force Ranger in Somalia during the Battle of Mogadishu. This is the first wave, with wave 2 right behind. Can't wait until they release Somali militia, as well as the HUMMWVs.

Battle of Mogadishu - Mars Company 54mm Toy Soldiers

I've complained for years that companies aren't making enemy combatants of modern conflicts. The Mars Company decided to tackle one of the latest battles in our armed forces history - specifically, the Battle of Mogadishu, which most people know as Black Hawk Down.

I started with making some foam buildings. I drew the buildings, cut the pieces out with a foam cutter and then painted them. This is a first try. I think I made the buildings too big. Oh well. Practice.

Then I grabbed my Delta Force and Somali Insurgent soldiers.

And set them up for a battle on the streets of Mogadishu. May have to get some 1/35 scale Black Hawks.
