Upgraded the 15mm Franonian Navy....

.....from an old CIA guy who kept saying his name was Mr.Smith!

Bought these off Timecast, not particularly happy with them, lots of holes in the resin, the lifebuoys are not fully cast on any of the eight on both models, terrible mold lines on the metal parts and you had to supply your own gun barrels????? Now Timecast only sell this from a company called Gomi Designs but what can you do but get on with it!

Am I being pedantic about the barrels, no mention on the site, why don't they supply them?

We have a troop carrier and monitor boat from the Vietnam era, still functional after all these years....

15mm Rebel Minis figure for scale.....

Franonian 15mm Navy River Boats.

What's a Dictator without a Navy? These small beginnings will lead to bigger boats.....hopefully!

15mm resin River Boats from The Scene, very nice resin kits and metal HMG.

Did some scale pics if you hadn't seen these before with a 15mm Rebel Mini miniature and I haven't forgotten your pics Kingsleypark and should have them this week!

Need to find some crew, fancy a life on the river busting pirates?

15mm Painted TimeCast Gas Station and Looters.

A Franonian gas station/garage from TimeCast with some unfortunate looters from Peter Pig, figures painted by myself and the building pieces painted by myself and Ray.

The building comes with the two vehicles but should also come with a stack of tyres but were not included!

Traditional TV....

...and tyre!

15mm Painted Franonian M113's, M577 and M163....

6 newish APC's bought on the black market from a guy named Avi, we have 4 M113 Zelda's, 1 M577 command APC and a M163 Vulcan repainted in Franonian grey....

......for the fictional (ish), I can say no more at this time, country of Franonia!

The models are from Peter Pig's AK47 IDF range (nice pieces of kit)......

M113's.....

A mixture of .50-cal's and M60's machine guns......

M163 and M577.....

20mm rotary cannon.......

This week we should see the leader of the rebel forces of Rayonia in the flesh.....

15mm Modern Painted US Marine Humvees.

Some US Marine Humvees (they have a deep wading exhaust and intake unlike the army version seemingly) from Peter Pig, not too bad a model (a lot of mold lines), the crew figures are cast with their weapon, a mixture of .50 cal HMG's, Mark 19 grenade launchers and a TOW launcher.

What's better than one 15mm arms dealer but two 15mm arms dealers.....

....especially for a very frugal with the finances Dictator!

Inspired by one of Cage's better movies........figures from Peter Pig and Ural 4.5 ton truck also.

15mm Modern IDF or Franonian Infantry Platoon.

In reality they're Peter Pig IDF modern infantry but I'm using them as Franonian infantry for protecting the fledging state of Franonia, they're will soon be militia, armour, flags, police and enemies etc.......

The blogroll problem has been solved by a suggestion from Rebel Barracks to have two or more blogrolls, so I did and it's working......

15mm Hotel Security or Dictator Bodyguards.

15mm figures from The Scene , described as special agents or The Authorities but I'm using them as close protection for my Dictator with uniform designed by said Dictator, in a pinch they could provide security for a Vegas hotel in the 1970's......

Picked as many static poses as I could but they were nice figures from a little company and good service.....
