Very good. Just need some markings to finish them. I'm a big fan of Emergency!, so I had to make the reference.

Dang.... I need to go over the wheels again. Decal would be good, thank you for the idea.

Here are some Hummvs I came across. I installed some men in a HUMMV a few minutes ago.

Nice work on the troops and vehicles Chris. I really like the French Foreign Legion equipment. The wheels look good. I wish the wheels on my projects looked that good!

Here is one of my own. Just finished up my SM 79 project. I'm not quite sure how I am going to use the torpedoes in the desert but they look cool on the planes.

Here's an on the workbench photo of the Italian infantry I'm working on. I spent an inordinate amount of time and money trying to get the grey green right. I gave up and went with Lifecolor's paint. I think it is still too green. I'd love to hear what you guys think. Here is part of the unfinished project:

I'd take a tiny bit of white and dry brush it over the uniform to highlight it and that should help alleviate the feeling it's too green. And it's still really close to Italian green. Honestly, we wouldn't notice. (says the OCD guy who HAD to have the correct RLM colors for some Luftwaffe planes)

That's a good suggestion Guroburov and I'll try it. Thanks! I didn't think I was OCD until I started this project but I know the feeling you had with your Luftwaffe planes now. Funny thing is I can't even see my figures clearly without magnifying glasses. The joys of getting older. :(

Those Italian planes look cool. They had coolest plane colors/camouflage.
Is the torpedo inside or slung underneath?
Or, are these dedicated torpedo planes?

Thank you redleg! The infantry is still on the workbench. Lot's of detail work and cleanup to go.

Chris- I did sling a torpedo underneath on 2 of them. Mainly because I like the visual. I am actually going to use them for gaming with Microarmour and not Micronauts. Maybe I'll be successful torpedoing some Mathildas. :D

Reg- Those SM79s look great - you killed it with the paint job! I love those planes, may be my favorite of the era - such beautiful lines. Your infantry looks excellent as well - I just finished some Italian infantry myself abs went to dark with a grey green. Oh well looks good with my failing eyesight

Great looking SM-79s and infantry, Reggia Marina! Having painted the GHQ SM-79, I can attest to the amount of work it takes on these aircraft.

When I get around to my Italian infantry, I will be doing them for North Africa so will be painting them in the tropical sand colors. I think your Italian infantry look fine as they are but I do know about OCD. I have agonized over some color choices before, believe me.

Thanks pmskaar! I appreciate the compliments. Yeah, the OCD has really kicked on these. This weekend I'm going to try and finish them up and I'll post. I'll post my Italians in their tropicals as a reference. I didn't obsess on that one. :D
