1/72nd scale, ACE M-84 (basically a T-72) for my JNA/Serbian force for my Balkan War project. Barrel is a metal T-72 one from Willis. The kit was alright, until I got to the track sections...nothing fit together whatsoever. I decided to chop up some pieces that wouldn't be seen because of the sideskirts and bend and use them instead. Sprayed Olive drab, weathered with black powder, and then muddied it up a lot. Hope you like it. Still needs based though.

Here's my first Croat platoon, the ZNG (basically their quickly formed army which after 1991 got reorganized into the HV). They will be my Vukovar online game later on this year. I still have an HMG somewhere, and I'm waiting on an 82mm mortar. I'll probably add some more technicals or improvised vehicles later on, and maybe a captured M-84 (I'm working on one right now). Even possibly another BTR50...
So here we go:



Vehicles



T-34 and T-55



Main infantry element











Command



RPG teams


PKM teams



Sagger firers (still waiting on the missiles...)


First ever completed 20mm unit...still working on Serb vehicles (only about 5 left to do ), finished painting up the last of their infantry support team, still waiting on a mortar

Liberation Multipurpose figs with Berets painted up for the Siege of Vukovar representing the HOS militia that was present there, or better known as the Black Legion. I'll be basing them later on with the rest of the figs I have to finish. These guys might be getting some technicals or improvised vehicles.

overall shot, small command and 2 squads with support (RPD and RPG)



Command


1st squad support


2nd squad support

1/72nd scale Dragon Croatian T-34/85...fantastic kit, awesome instructions, had a great time building it. The wheels are those of a T-55, resin ones I got from Willis, and the tank is marked with ZNG markings, and in a common camo scheme of the Croat army. The barrel is a metal one, not from the kit. Still have another to do.

Building it...lovely brass details.


The T-55 wheels



Camo scheme.

Complete with weathering.

My first Croatian Improvised Vehicle, Matchbox car jeep base, built around it with thin metal, wire ladder on side, various hatches from an old T-55 kit on top, and some dakka dakka dakka! :thumbsup: Hope you like it, although it wasn't based off of anything specific, there was probably something like it around somewhere.

Finshed off the main platoon body for my Serbians last night. I still need a command (groupbuild entry...) and some mortars. I tried a basic camo pattern too...and also some headswops 'cause I bought two of the same packs.
New camo:


HMG team




so far...


I have some tanks and APCs coming in from Willis...

Liberation 20mm Serbs, still have another 10 pack to paint though and the HMG. Finished the few primed ones I had left today. Enjoy! :yahoo:





RPKs

RPGs

All of them so far

More to come...

PSI 1/72nd scale T-55 kit. Fun kit to built, nicely molded parts, easy tracks, very little flash. It's part of my ZNG platoon I'll be doing for the battle of Vukovar later on...(hint hint guess what online game I'll be doing after Arnhem... ) Still have loads of figs and kits coming from Willis and Duane... :blush:





My Croats so far, the ones on the right still need painted up. Have the rest of the platoon plus some figs I'll be using as HOS militia or Serbian militia in berets, still trying to decide on that... :scratch:


more kits... :banghead:

Brad

Matchbox truck, 20mm Liberation figs. Based on a real camo pattern. :thumbsup:

BTR-50 for my Balkan Wars project, with one of those ridiulous camo schemes used during that war, its hard to tell but theres a lighter green stripe layer beneath the black. It's a 1/72nd scale ACE kits, a true pain in the arse... :banghead: :banghead: . Added barrel on back, may add some more stuff in future, possibly unit identification once I figure out who it is for. Gave up on the track links, and cut up some old stuff I had...turned out alright, but hopefully the dirt and grass blocked the crappiness...







About to take an RPG...


I personally can't wait to try all the cool camo schemes on my other vehicles since they were so outrageous and obviously didn't help conceal them in anyway...blue and red spraypaint camo? Heck yeah...wait to you see my BRDM 2s... :thumbsup:
