15mm Australian Hawkei

August 17, 2019 ThatAussieGamer 2

I have plans to build an ultramodern Australian force in 15mm and as part of that I picked up the (not yet released) Hawkei from @eurekamin. A great little model with resin body and metal parts. Comes with four wheels (I picked up an extra as part of a stowage set) and either the turret ring/MG (seen here) or remote operated weapon. With Eureka’s Bushmaster and ASLAVs will make up a good vehicle complement. The Hawkei is Australia’s replacement for the Land Rover as a protected mobility vehicle.

Sundry parts for North Africa

Collected almost the last of my 28mm North Africa #9thdivision Australians: sniper team (note the lefty!), flamethrower team and forward observer, all for @eurekamin. Now for an engineering team, a much harder proposition as no one makes any! #chainofcommand #boltaction #wargames #miniatures

Nap of the earth. A flight of 1:144 scale F-111s for my #15mm #teamyankee Australians. The “Pig” is a big aircraft and dwarfs other strike aircraft in the same scale. They do look gorgeous. Now for filling, painting and decals to do them justice.

My friend @danpaintsminiatures 3D printed a pair of 1:144 scale F-111s which will form the fixed wing air support for my #15mm Australians for #fireteammodern and #iaintbeennukedmum. I think they look fantastic and can’t wait to get them painted and on flight stands. #miniatures #teamyankee #wargaming

Italians vs Australians in #chainofcommand. Aussie 2nd section charges an Italian rifle section. Close combat is brutal. The Aussies are all killed; seven Italians are killed with a Senior Leader wounded. Ouch. #28mm #wargames #miniatures @danpaintsminiatures
