15mm Painted Franonian M113's, M577 and M163....

6 newish APC's bought on the black market from a guy named Avi, we have 4 M113 Zelda's, 1 M577 command APC and a M163 Vulcan repainted in Franonian grey....

......for the fictional (ish), I can say no more at this time, country of Franonia!

The models are from Peter Pig's AK47 IDF range (nice pieces of kit)......

M113's.....

A mixture of .50-cal's and M60's machine guns......




M163 and M577.....

20mm rotary cannon.......



This week we should see the leader of the rebel forces of Rayonia in the flesh.....

  8. I'm almost afraid for Ray right now. You've probably made him into some hideous creature that will beggar the imagination. It is fun watching you two boys at play Angry.

  12. For running dog lackeys of the bourgeois imperialists they've come out very well...

  13. I love want you have done with them. Real class

  14. Nicely done. I particularly like the 20mm canon. And for some reason I'm now thinking about Franonia University, good ol F.U. Must be the flag with the F on it.

  15. I hadn't been paying attention to those Franonia mentions, but I'm liking it - fictional countries can be a lot of fun. But we need more, maybe alternate histories, one official from you, and an unofficial from, say, Ray...

  16. What's the government of Franonia like? They certainly spend a lot on military hardware. ;)

  17. Those things are mobile fortresses! lol.

  18. That should make any would be troublemakers think twice! Great work Fran.

    1. Probably the crappy camera but the colour is slightly blue in tint....

  20. haha you will have no fear of getting de-throned in your land, with all that support.

  21. They're not rebels. They're freedom fighters!

  22. Very, very cool. Perhaps I shall one day announce the creation of the fictional modern and utopic national of Brihistan, under my own benevolent and wise leadership, of course.

    What rules are you planning on using with these guys Fran?

    2. Ah! Cool system. Once you play through the reaction system a couple of times it starts to make sense -and works really well.

  23. Go check your email, it's time to play!!

  24. Excellent work. The Franonian army is growing and will soon be a force to be reckoned with. Tomorrow...the world!

  25. Looks like they came from the just slightly off-blue market, not the black one. :-)

    1. You haven't got a spare camera have you mate...

  26. Looks like a serious force escalation to me. Franonia gets some APCs then Rayonia gets some bigger APCs, where will it all end?

    ReplyDelete
  27. The Franonian armed forces are coming along nicely. Really like APC's in general

    ReplyDelete
  28. Lovely stuff Fran. Do they come with the gear moulded on or are the optional? Either way I do prefer them with the clutter.

    I'm just so glad I don't do 15mm moderns

  29. Love the color. Has that weathered look.

  30. Great paint job! And awesome flag!

    All hail Franonia!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Great work Fran. Cannot wait to see more

    ReplyDelete
  32. Very nice, Fran. It's funny how cameras can change the hue of colors, but the vehicles still look good. It looks like you did some weathering on them as well. Looking forward to see what Rayonia will be fielding.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The Rebel forces of Rayonia should rule the world, but Fran won't let them!!!!!

    1. Ray: Maybe it would help if you got some unicorn minis. Put a few sleestaks on those unicorns and you may just win.

  36. I like the detail with which you colored these tanks. (or rather APC's)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Franonia is gonna be a force to be reckoned with eh?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hmm, looks a little plain. I think it'll look better with different shades of blue.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I like the blue it gives them a police look

    ReplyDelete
  40. Can't wait to see the guys that will be up against these things.

    ReplyDelete
  41. These are looking really good, I look forward to seeing the conflict between these and the forces of rayonia

    ReplyDelete
  42. Great Vehicles! I hope that is a flag and not their report card across the front of one ;)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Good looking vehicles, love the stowage.
