15mm Modern Iveco LMV 4WD from.....

......Evil Bear Wargames. 

It's listed on the site as a British Army "Panther".

The Russians have them and this is my attempt until someone produces a 15mm Tigr, these are about the best resin models I have ever bought, crisp and great detail (the wing mirror was broken when it arrived but after much swearing I finally glued it back in place), came in a metal tin with a tea bag.There will probably be no more 15mm models from the company due to poor sales and they will focus on the 28mm business for the time being..............

...........but could be used for several other nationalities.

I have put a figure comparison shot to show scale in case they're your thing.......

Some blurb.........

Iveco LMV (Light Multirole Vehicle) is a 4WD tactical vehicle developed by Iveco, and in service with several countries. After its adoption by the Italian Army under the name VTLM Lince (Lynx)(Veicolo-Tattico-Leggero-Multiruolo), it won the FCLV (Future Command and Liaison Vehicle) competition of the British Army as the Panther and has been adopted by the armies of Belgium, Albania, Norway, Russia and Spain. The Italian Army took vehicles to both Afghanistan and Lebanon. In Afghanistan Lince vehicles have saved passengers' lives in several attacks with IEDs.

Similar but different.........

The figures are 15mm Eureka and Oddzial Osmy.

Belgian I believe......

Need some modern 15mm Russian stars......

15mm Painted Modern Australians, Bushmasters and Bricks.........

.........from Eureka Minis.

The modern Australian army has seen action in recent years in Iraq and Afghanistan. With peace keeping duties in East Timor, Bouganville, Sinai and the Solomon Islands

A brick is 4 personnel.

2 Bricks make a section.

3 sections make a platoon.

Nice models but the metal Bushmasters have a mold line on the back that would make a grown man cry!

The Bushmasters are based on a design from an Irish company.......... 

The rods/poles at the front are IED protection............

A couple of extra personnel for the platoon, includes EOD team, K-9 unit, mine detector, Carl Gustav team etc......... 

15mm Painted Eureka Minis Chechens, Redundancy and........

........... yet more Boobs!

15mm modern Chechen fighter figures from Eureka Minis, I also have painted their modern Russian figures but the Chechen figures gave the most trouble as I had to rely more on images than a painting guide, I used the Russian flora camo as the main uniform colour but with a lot of other camos, jeans, tracksuit bottoms etc......

Apologies for the quality of the picutres, poses, my interpretation of camos but I have to thank Barks for the guide to Russian flora camo though......

Tonight is my last shift here at GSK Dartford with Ray, just gathering up my gear, have had a takeaway (feel a little bloated) and that's that, no job yet as theirs not much out there but we'll keep plugging away, my blogging may suffer a little in the coming weeks or months but I hope to post as much as I can but maybe not as much as normal and visit other blogs to see what's going on.......

If you're looking for a quality security officer/supervisor near or around Gravesend please call......

Anyway to help stem the tide of depression on this post I've included some cleavage and as Bryan always asks........her name is Bianca Beauchamp!

I just may post boobs for a living?

28mm Eureka Earp Sisters and Doc Holly Daye.....

....and some well armed wild west ladies from Tombstone and the now finished painting challenge were I finished 5th.

The figures are from Eureka Minis, not bad sculpts..............

28mm Painted Eureka Miniatures US Force Recon Marines.

Lovely set of 28mm painted force recon US marines from Eureka Miniatures, posted a picture of comparison sizes with some other miniatures, they are slighty smaller but not enough to be an issue and I should have got the sniper when I ordered them(no point now as I wrote down the colours I used but cannot find the piece of paper now.

L to R, Empress Miniatures, Hasslefree and Black Scorpion for size comparison.
