USMC HMMWV - Revell 1/72 M966 Tow, M977 Maxi Ambulance

I feel like I'm finally making some progress on something. I finished my first two HMMWVs for my modern USMC force for Force on Force. Since I finally managed to score the 4 M1114 versions made by Dragon I figured I better practice on something first. These are secondary vehicles and will only appear in a couple of the Scenarios for the Road to Baghdad. So I wasn't to concerned with how rusty I am putting together plastic kits. I had forgotten just how many pieces they can manage to cram into one of these kits. There is one more box with these two models to put together and hopefully by the time I'm done with that the others will have arrived.
These are Revell 1/72nd scale kits so I threw in an Elheim modern US Marine and the S&S Cougars just to give a visual on sizes. I think the 1/72nd scale kits maybe a little on the small size, but it won't be a problem for the game.

New Minis have Arrived!

Today was a big day! The mailbox had one of those very interesting packages that come all the way from the UK. And yes, inside were the 20mm Marines I had ordered from Elhiem. Can't really say enough about the service. Ordered these on the 2/21 and here they just squeaked in on 2/29. So 8 days start to finish. Now if I could only get them painted up that fast. Well actually I suppose I could, they are pretty small compared to my WWI Marines. Small enough that I snapped a quick comparison picture. So a couple of pictures and I'll take them with me tonight and maybe starting working on them. I should be painting that bloody Zoave but he's hiding on my desk again. Now if I could find some HMMWV in 1/72 or 20mm scale that were reasonably priced I would be happy.
