Those Portugee/Angolan mulattas have a strong arm and are endowed with enormous assets.

Another friend wanted to have a try of F&F 2nd Edition, so we had a second crack at the Gettysburg scenario... Perhaps I could win playing the other side...?

It was a first run-out for my Cold War Danes and East Germans this week, as they fought for a series of river-crossings in Schleswig-Holstein, circa 1984:

Very nice. Are those the Timecast huts? They travel well!

Sorry Etranger, I didn't notice your question earlier. I can't remember who did the huts. They are Vietnam hooches and were sold by a company which also did a lot of Vietnam riverine warfare kit and I think shared a trade-stand with Peter Pig back in the very early days of Peter Pig when they only did Vietnam figures. I remember buying them (along with a load of PP figures) at a show in Shrewsbury circa 1991ish. Does that sound like Timecast? I'll have to ask Barrie at Timecast...

No matter. I think there was a precursor company from which TC grew. Stylistically they're very reminiscent.

I've got a feeling that those might be the ones that my good mate Martin Small made for TSS. I've got some of those as well, so will have a look later.

Spurred by a load of 15mm Cold War Polish infantry who lack suitable transport, I recently dabbled for the first time in the world of 3D-printed models, as that is the only 15mm source for the Polish SKOT eight-wheeled APC (also known as the OT-64). And I have to say that I'm VERY pleased with them!

They look excellent and a great post on the process involved. I was painting 1/300 Poles last year and this has given me some ideas for SKOT conversions. The 3D stuff seems OK but I'm not sure I could cope with the clean up! I'm lazy...

How do they take paint?

All over, by the looks of it.

I can't stand sticking stuff together, so ripping it apart suits me

I actually sprayed them with a Halfords black primer that I'd not used before and it gave them the texture of sandpaper, so the paint went onto that just fine! I think they'll take paint just as well as any plastic model.
