Neil I can see an article about your Tuaregs coming along?

I'd happily do one but aren't you chaps all bored with them by now?

Neil

Nope, an article would be nice Neil. Just keep the swearing and  saucy pictures to a minimum.

Never!

Well, the Tuareg will have to keep their heads down now... or invest in some anti-air hardware. A w.i.p. shot of a Del Prado 1:110 scale model of an A1 Skyraider almost complete from its makeover to become a potent air asset for my dastardly Senemalese Dictatorship army. The hardest part has been hand drilling a 6mm hole in the die cast metal to take my home made flying stand...
This is the second of the 4 air assets I have on the workbench atm slowly taking shape.

That looks great, Neil!

I do like that camouflage Neil.
Is the stand a custom job rather than a Del Prado item?

The stand is a custom job - 6mm dia. acrylic rod glued and lightly drilled into a hardboard base about 2.5" square. I figured the die cast metal would need a stouter support. I made 3 stands, all about 5" high.

Well, the Tuareg Alfellaga are assembling at last, though there are likely to be a few more bases to add in a while thanks to Martin  . I have 3 cavalry units of mixed camels and horses supported by 4 Zamburaks, and infantry with the usual mix of HMGs, RPGs, Mortars and RRs. For artillery support there are 2 towed AT guns, and in the wings some armoured cars, technicals and a couple of tanks... Figures are a core of PP AK'ers, Tuareg, Dervishes etc. supplemented by Minifigs, Irregular and Blue Moon.

They do look very nice and tidy, Neil.

After a long hiatus, finally some AK47 related stuff finally off the production line. For those Saharan desert locations where zebra are scarce... some African Wild Asses (Equus Africanus) with Pendraken 10mm versions as foals...

Neil

[Colonel Kilgore]

Good thinking there, Neil, and nice as always!

Great stuff Neil. Maybe a MILL article?
