USMC pictures

Finally got them finished (took ages to source enough plastic kits for the vehicles).

AH-1W Supercobras

That's the lot, not counting my 1/144 Hornets and 1/72 MV-22 Osprey.

Really nice figs you got there! There isn't enough pictures of completed 1/72 Battlefield Evolution armies on the net.

What miniature line did you use for your Marine foot soliders?

Interesting flying stands for your copters. What exactly are they?

 

[Iain McGhee]

Thanks. The Marines are Liberation Miniatures (from RH Models). The HUMVEEs are Dragon kits, the M1A1HAs are Revell, the LAV-25s are Trumpeter kits and the AH-1Ws are Italeri.

The flying stands are the plastic lids from Dragon prebuilt models. I like them for helicopters because they look about the right height for NOE flight and are slightly angled so the model's a little nose-down. They're also quite stable, even with larger models.

Have the vehicles been dipped?

 

[Iain McGhee]

Painted rather than dipped, using the Army Painter dark shade. I was originally just going to use it to weather them (like on the Cobras) but I liked the effect so much I covered the rest of them.

Looks good, and interesting force composition.
