They look really cool! <br /><br />I think I have all the "modern" Russians I really need at the moment and what I was mostly interested in was cold war Soviet stuff from the 70s/80s... but If I ever want some more ultra modern russians - I'll definitely head your way!!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-63757073318851517842010-07-05T12:16:20.444-07:002010-07-05T12:16:20.444-07:00Hi Tim,

I see that you have the TAG and Mongrel ones like me ;-) I was not very happy with the TAG and that is one of the reason I created a small company with a friend a few month ago: Red Star Miniatures(www.redstarminiatures.eu. Do you know us ? We specialize in modern Russians and have a lot of project for them ;-) If you want to contact me: redstarminiatures@gmail.com<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Christian<br />BrusselsChristianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540053570270427913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-74111591427529381252009-08-24T13:47:32.296-07:002009-08-24T13:47:32.296-07:00Thanks Ted!
I've seen 1:48 plastic T-72 kits ...Thanks Ted!<br /><br />I've seen 1:48 plastic T-72 kits made by a company call Kitech listed on ebay. That would seem the economical option as they're usually about $10-$15USD shipped free worldwide. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.chieftainmodels.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Chieftain Models</a> (which has recently been bought by <a href="http://www.sloppyjalopy.com/" rel="nofollow">Sloppy Jalopy</a>) makes on in 1:56.... I will likely go with this option as between Chieftan and Sloppy Jalopy they have a number of appropriate vehicles for the forces I'm working on that are simply unavailable anywhere else... and they're scaled to go with Mongrel Minis and Gripping Beast figures which I really like and plan to get more of.... <br /><br />Mexicans, indeed! What figures would you use? I have no idea what kind of equipment Mexico uses..!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-83343653867549378652009-08-24T13:29:26.149-07:002009-08-24T13:29:26.149-07:00Hey, Tim.

If I had your collection I'd add one more army. Being an American living in Southern California I've always wanted to paint up minis for the Modern Mexican Army. Who would they fight? Drug Cartel? US? Private Military Contractors? Probably all of them!<br /><br />Where would you get a T72 to go along with these guys? I know Force of Arms does a 28mm T55 which I've been eyeing ...Ted Arlauskashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037230971768024977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-58832400324556960802009-08-23T18:14:35.319-07:002009-08-23T18:14:35.319-07:00I should note that I also have a pile of Vietnam s...I should note that I also have a pile of Vietnam stuff that technically could be considered "modern"... but for some reason I consider it separately...<br /><br />I took stock of them a while back and you can see them here:<br /><br /><a href="http://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2007/10/vietnam-in-28mm.html" rel="nofollow">Vietnam in 28mm</a><br /><br />Quite a few of the ones that were still unpainted at the time of the post are now complete.... maybe I should do an update... or check and see if there is any stuff still to be painted... and paint them... and THEN do an update!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.com
