They are from Britannia, apart from the Shilka which is by S&S Models.

Nice work, I particularly like the 55/59's

Yer... Great little model. Painted about 20 odd of that model... and more on order!

I was working at Bovington the day the Type59 and T55 arrived after Desert Storm. Got some great shots of me on top the 55 with the added concrete armour (Pre digital camera days Im afraid) clinging onto the DhSK mount.

Gets alot of stick that tank, but when you've got 50,000 of them who cares? lol

Funnily enough Im working on an Enigma T-55 for my Iraqis...

I use 20mm (1/72nd scale) figures and vehicles for all my WW2 and Moderns. I use two sets of rules; Rapid Fire for large scale battles and Force-on-Force for smaller platoon level engagements.

Nah... Dont like their ones. I prefer Siflor Tufts. I get mine from Mutineer Miniatures... He is the cheapest. Go for the two-tone variety, superb product.

Bases are cut from plasticard, sanded with PVA and builders sand, undercoated blacks, painted in whatever base colour and then drybrushed. Then 'tufted' and static grassed.

Very simple, but effective.

thanks buddy i think they are great i was thinking of doing some unit trays for my guard and now i know how

thanks
