It's been a couple of months since I posted. With the move, good weather, and the need to get a bunch of woodworking done before it got too cold in the garage, painting took a back seat for a while. When the weather got cold I stared painting again but most of my projects are gifts for Christmas so no posts until they were presented. The first of those gifts has been presented and so I can post the final display.
The Marines on patrol are from the set I picked up at Historicon 2016 from Eureka Miniatures USA.
The Mujaheddin are also from Eureka Miniatures USA and come in a 15 man pack for $32.
The Afghan house is made of cork board and bass wood, while the base is 1/4 birch plywood I had leftover from a woodworking project. I painted the structure and base with Rust-Oleum Multicolor Textured spray paint in Desert Bisque and then dry brushed with Army Painter paints and added their Summer Grass to the base of the building.
THE MARINES
As I said before, the Marines are from the 14 figure set I picked up at Historicon 2016. I was incorrect about one being a radio operator though, once I had the figures out I saw the Marine was really carrying a THOR man-pack ECM device. Other than that the Fire Team satellite patrol is fairly standard: Fire Team Leader with M203 attached to his M16-A4, M249 SAW Gunner, Rifleman (with the THOR) and M16-A4, and the A-Gunner with his M16-A4 walking point. The two riflemen have AN/PEC-4s and all Marines have Trijicon ACOG scopes on their weapons.
THE MUJAHEDDIN
The Mujaheddin are all pretty standard: all are armed with AK-47s, two have chest rigs for extra ammo and the too far forward point man has a bandoleer. Dress us fairly common throughout the area. The rest of the figures are all different poses with two RPGs, a Stinger SAM, a light machine-gun and a medium machine-gun.
