Hi Here you can see some of my Iraqi lieutenants painted for my Iraqi army (Elhiem figures). Figures are from NATO TROOPS set of ESCI. I know that they have western rifles, but when on table they look just fine  I tried to paint them same as my Iraqi soldiers (I will try upload photos of them later).       I know that there are some mould defects but this is an old ESCI set made of very soft plastic, and it was very hard to remove them from figures. I could remove them with hot wire but that idea hit me after painting unfortunately. Here you can see Saddam H. himself with his golden pistol  :    Here you can see Revell HMMWV Cargo. I didn't glue that model so stop telling me that it's terrible glued I've bought it (with another one) already glued and only painted it. It's my first model painted with airbrush so please be tolerant in your criticisim Here it is:    Here with some of my Caesar and Elhiem USMC figures:  I will try to show rest of my miniatures. I've a lot of Elhiem Iraqis, Caesar US and some Britannia SF. Comments and criticism are welcome. Some more photos on my blog (link in my signature - but it's in polish only  ) Best regards Thomas _________________  MY BLOG

I love the chap with the walkie talkie.
The Hummvee looks good, too. I just ebayed some of the same
for my project as well. Though 1:72 they look a tad small compared
to the Elhiem mini. Is there a good (and equally cheap) alternative?
Cheers
Andy

Hi Yesterday I painted second HMMWV, this time with AGL Mk.19 It's similarly painted and finished, as the first one.    And a family photo:  Again; model is terribly assembled and glued, but after painted I think it's quite good for playing Cheers Thomas _________________ MY BLOG

They look great they are for wargaming not display (I have seen some at model shows that did not look as good as your do).

I think you've got a great collection building there! The figures and vehicles look great - I hope my vehicles look as good on my first try with an airbrush!!
