Apart from that for my SNI I have 3 helos (1 x KA-25 and 2 x KA-29) and a single BTR-70! So a lot to get in that department. Yes - I was thinking of trying to sculpt the hover craft skirts using a specialist foam I got recently. I'll post up any progress I make... when I make some!<br /><br />If anyone has an accurate orbat or TO&E of the Soviet Motor Rifle Divisions that might invade Northern Norway in the mid to late 80's - please let me know!<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />RichardRichardChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715518001361703533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-21998524688276569822014-11-22T07:57:50.657-08:002014-11-22T07:57:50.657-08:00I would try sculpting the hover craft bottom out o...I would try sculpting the hover craft bottom out of Styrofoam.

The cheapest MTLBs I have found are S&S, ACE are OOP and painful and the Hobby Dens look great.

Agree re the MTLBs - only have 3 and I'm guessing I'll need more.<br /><br />Yes - you are right - but not sure anyone does Swedish Infantry in 20mm - only have 3 S-tanks and 1 Centurion (+ one on the way) that is likely to end up being Danish.<br /><br />RichardRichardChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715518001361703533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-89543609249063236452014-11-18T17:59:47.157-08:002014-11-18T17:59:47.157-08:00I'm willing to bet you'll need to paint up...I'm willing to bet you'll need to paint up some Swedes tooHistory PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748895855614902567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-31068898823952904222014-11-18T14:41:14.830-08:002014-11-18T14:41:14.830-08:00We did this in 6mm last year using CWC.

I threw the US marines onto beaches around Bodo only to get them gassed and blown into oblivion by salvo rocket batteries. Great fun. MTLBs make a nice change from BTRs and BMPs in MR regiments coming overland to relieve the Naval troops - wider tracks better on snow. Should look great in 20mm.
