Modern Parade - Part One

Its a busy time of year for me at work - apologies to those in lockdown, on furlough etc due to COVID19 - so I have not had much energy/motivation to do anything other than sit in front of Netflix or similar TV apps over the last week. Coupled with this, I managed to pick up some kind of stomach bug that put me out of action for about 24 hours, at a particularly inconvenient time, as I should have been attending a "We survived the Level 4 Lockdown" dinner last night, organised by my friend Mark from 1866 and All That.

Today being Sunday, and finally feeling a bit better, I have gone through some of my Modern 20mm collection and taken a few images which follow below.

I have tried to identify the manufacturers correctly but its possible I have made an error or two, as during the building of this collection, I purchased figures from basically every manufacturer with an appropriate range!

 

The first three images are by Elheim, who have a very extensive range of beautifully sculpted figures

 

The next three pictures are British infantry by another manufacturer, Under Fire Miniatures

 

Above are female soldiers interacting with Afghan women - mainly Elheim again

 

A female dog handler by Elheim Miniatures

 

A western news crew by MJ Miniatures

 

Another news crew, these are by Britannia Miniatures

 

Above and below, armed females by Elheim

 

Above and below some British infantry from the extensive Liberation Models range

 

Above more Liberation figures - these are US Delta troops of the Blackhawk Down era

 

Above and below are the figures who featured in last weeks game - modern Australians by Wartime Miniatures that I repurposed into New Zealanders by adding the black and white NZ emblem to their shoulders!

 

The final group today are modern US troops from the Liberation range

 

I really enjoyed collecting and painting these figures and have thought on a few occasions that I really should get them out more often, as this is a perfect era and scale of combat for solo gaming. Maybe I will eventually get around to giving this a try...…. .next post, I will feature some of their opponents.
