Being honest I don't know what these are for! I got them so long ago and have now painted or should I say repainted and based these 4 vehicles. The problem is now that they are done I cannot find them in the cold war era German Army lists. (I have also checked the Canadian and Greek lists) So while I am sure I shall find a use for them I just don't know what yet. DOH!
So while I figure it out here are 4 M113 ACAV personal carriers. But they are done now and despite the fact that 2 and facing the wrong way in the pics I am quite pleased with them. So Pleased in fact that they have sidetraked me into refreshing my 20mm Vietnam war figures. So expect them in a week or two. But for now I will finish painting some WW1 figures for Matt, and you can also expect them soon. But Back to these, With the exception of starting a 1/300th scale Vietnam force (or 2, one for each side) I may have to use them as cold war era US National Guard. There is nothing wrong with doing this of course but it does not help my German cold war troops one little bit!
Thanks for stopping by today and with luck I will be able to focus on a more productive project next time.
Take care and get some painting done.
Cheers Clint
Dangerous, a few rogue models could end up making a full on assault on another army
ReplyDeleteThey look great by the way :-)

I know it is dangerous I am trying to work out how much I would need for a 6mm Vietnam game now. Still they are done and put away and will not rear their heads for many a moon now!
DeleteCheers Mate.
Hmmm as Ian says, dangerous times could be upon you with this posting Clint. And they really do look very good too. Why not just add a few more models to them ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. It is tempting but for the moment I will not be adding any more models to them. But it is entirely possible that may change at Salute! But I do have a VERY fixed spending plan for that show.... which tends to go wrong within 23 minutes of entering the show! (Most often swifter!)
DeleteNot really my thing, but they do look well painted.
ReplyDeleteThank you C6. It would be a very boring hobby if we all liked the same things.
DeleteVery nice mate. More 6mil stuff...hmmmm
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's my age, but I seem to be moving to a smaller scale for most games than I did when I was younger.
DeleteThanks Lee.
Teeny weeny APC's. Very nice paintwork Clint. Your bases are still looking the business too.
ReplyDeleteI will be basing some figures today so you said just the right thing at just the right time as I am not looking forward to it. Thanks Bob
DeleteGreat work Clint!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, and while I am sure they are not your bag I think what I will put on today will be a little more so. (But not exactly)
DeleteThese look very good Clint and I'm sure they were in use for many years after theirintroduction in the Vietnam war. You'll find a use for them as is, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Joe these are still used by some countries and even by me if I win the lottery. I was just saying that they will not fit with any of my existing 1/300th armies.
DeleteCheers mate.
