Finished off the last of my South African infantry today (barring a few bases):

Let's hope he remembers his catchphrase - steady, the Buff!
(Nice work, RMD. Will they be at Warfare?)

Don't have a tv I can see from my painting space. Grrrrrr.
Re: What's on your workbench?
Ta! Yes, they're for the Cassinga game at Warfare.
Purists will note that they're really 1980s-vintage Saffers rather than 1970s. For the 1970s they were looking more like British Paras in silhouette, with bare green metal WW2 Para helmets, R1 (FN FAL) SLRs and para-smocks (in brown, with grey reinforcing patches at elbows and shoulders). However, nobody does suitable figures for British or SA paras of the period, so I'm just using my pre-existing late 1980s SADF infantry (which are Peter Pig Israelis) plus these additional figures.

Re: What's on your workbench?
Thanks to Peter Pig's rapid delivery, I've got some Cuban T-34s on the go today. However, they just seem to have painted them plain green, occasionally with three-digit turret-numbers in white... Exactly the same as the Soviets... How dull...
I think I'm going to have to put a Cuban flag on one and perhaps a Che Guevara poster stuck to the turret of another...
