Collins Does Afghanistan 2013-2014
The Result
I didn’t take pictures of the steps for each man. I simply batch painted the lot.
I also painted a lot of Taliban in quick succession too. Their paint scheme was mostly tans and bland colours until I did a bit of a google search for Afghan civilians and discovered that there are a lot of pictures of brightly coloured clothing too.
I remember hearing about the Taliban exploiting poor locals and playing them $10 to take up arms for the day and go attack ISAF. Whether this was a regular occurrence I don’t know but I decided to put some colourful clothing into the ranks to represent these ‘ten dollar tali’s’
All the Taliban range at the time
A small selection of the British The weapon options for the range are good for such a small range at the moment.
The Taliban come sporting:
- AK-47
- PKM
- RPG
- SVD
- Double Barrelled Shotgun
- Revolver
The British return fire with:
- SA-80
- SA-80UGL
- MiniMi
- GPMG
- L129A1
- Combat Shotgun
- Glock
There is plenty there on both sides to have a good scrap.
OTT award for the paint jobs - Shameless show off
