15mm Painted Modern Australians, Bushmasters and Bricks.........

.........from Eureka Minis.

The modern Australian army has seen action in recent years in Iraq and Afghanistan. With peace keeping duties in East Timor, Bouganville, Sinai and the Solomon Islands

A brick is 4 personnel.

2 Bricks make a section.

3 sections make a platoon.

Nice models but the metal Bushmasters have a mold line on the back that would make a grown man cry!

The Bushmasters are based on a design from an Irish company.......... 

The rods/poles at the front are IED protection............

A couple of extra personnel for the platoon, includes EOD team, K-9 unit, mine detector, Carl Gustav team etc......... 

15mm Painted Modern Peter Pig US Marine Platoon.

....or my attempt at painting modern (ish) US marines for the Franonian or modern theatre, these were a nightmare to paint as there was a lot of discussion on colours on forums but they'll do me!.

A modern US marine platoon consists of normally 42 men, 3 squads of 13 men divided into 3 fireteams of 4 men and a squad leader and a platoon headquarters element of a platoon commander, platoon sergeant and a navy corpsman.

Humvees, sniper teams, casualties and medics, AAV-7A1's and air support (probably a cobra gunship) to follow.......

Just as a sidebar, I've had to delete the old blogroll as I couldn't add or delete any blogs, so I've had to go through the nearly 1000 blogs I was following and start adding again, bear with me as this will take a little while and apologies if I missed you at the moment......
