These are great Scotty but you will definitely need some BTR's and BRDM's as well as PBI! Looking forward to watching this collection grow...and grow...!
Neil - what about painting a couple of Brixmis team G-Wagons driving in and out of your convoy of Soviet T80 tanks taking photos as they pass ? and maybe a T-80 on a stationary rail transport flatbed train with a Brixmis team member perched on the tank barrel sticking an apple down the muzzle in order to get it's calibre ?
Neil - Speaking of Brixmis has anyone tried to 'wargame a Brixmis tour mission ?' As I reckon it has possibilities. The British side being one of the daily G-Wagon Brixmis tours travelling round East Germany - the opposition being the Soviets who need to transport their various vehicles, tanks & mechanised units from their barracks or deployment area's to their training areas, using road & rail transport ( and back again ), the obstacles along the way for Brixmis are the Permanent Restriction zones and the Temporary Restriction zones ( the Temp ones can crop up at any time along the Soviets route although there's always the chance that a Brixmis G-wagon or two could already be 'in theatre' & already in their OPs before the Temp zone is notified to their HQ & therefore can continue 'the hunt' ( no doubt chance cards would be a must in this game ) - aiding & abetting the Soviets will be East German Stasi & East German Police Vopo's setting traps & lying in wait to thwart the Brixmis team - wonder who manufacturers & sells miniature East German Police cars ? - not to mention trabants, wartburgs etc - so great opportunity to branch out into other 'setting the scene' model making & painting. Points are scored when the Brixmis team catch & photo shoot a Soviet convoy from their cleverly disguised OPs and deducted whenever the opposition block or unmask one of their vehicles or OP's while lying in wait for the Soviet transports or rail transports.
These latest armor additions are fab, Neil. Last? I really doubt it...
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan, I'm already looking into some Germans now
