Awwwwwwww, do we HAVE to share with those wingies and floaters? [:D] You’re right, we would definately need to expand to ahve a nice sized group build.

22

Oh Hell YEah! \m/ [tup] I’m down for that!

I’m having no luck searching for the SADF combat web gear. Could you point me in the right directon for some good pics of the stuff? I am interested in maybe trying to replicate some of it in 1/35.

Let us not jump the gun yet gents. Although a very good idea, I am still deep in research mode. Aircrft, and waterborne would be good, I have choppers, and AC used by all Nations concerned from 1960-1994. Ah Hell, lets go for it. No time limit. Lets see how many bites we get. You want me to be ring leader or do one of you want to set up to the podium? Everything will be included. Fig’s, AC, Helo’s, Soft skins, waterborne, and armor. Let us see what happens.

24

I’ll have to do some more research as well before I jump in. Maybe I can do something on the cheap. A figure and small base perhaps?

I vote Rudi should head it up since he seems to have the most expertise in this area.

http://www.sa-soldier.com/data/index.htm Here is the site for equipment and and the 1983 pattern webbing. Plus rifles. Hope this helps those who are interested. We will further discuss the build. Let me work on a few things before we kick this thing off.

26

I will try and figure out how to post pics on this site too. I can scan some stuff for the webbing and post it too.

27

http://youtube.com/results?search_query=SADF Here is some for the SADF.

http://youtube.com/results?search_query=Rhodesia Here is for Rhodesia.

Look around on there, and you will find a lot of stuff, on these subjects. Under SADF watch the last domino. All 5 parts. It is very good.

28

All right. If someone will coach me through how to post pictures, I will start a group build. I will need help with this though. Who’s with me?

29

It sounds like an excellent group build. Good luck with it! Few years ago, I met a guy who used to work for a company called Executives Outcome and he spent quite some time in Africa working as an operative. Very interesting gentleman and learned a lot from him.

30

You know I’m in. Too many ideas yet to own up to what I’m going to build just yet, tho. Since most of my projects tend to come from pics I see, the more research I do, the more projects will suggest themselves to me! Odds are, I’ll be doing a Rhodesian SAS dio from an article - they are in RENAMO fatigues carrying combloc weapons, blowing up a fuel-farm in Mozambique, after being hauled in on SA naval vessels. Then of course there’s the straight RLI foot-patrol in the bush and the converted Universal Carrier doing convoy guard-duty…

Let’s work on securing a good base of research info before we really nail down anything on the GB. That way, we can catch more people, as they start looking at the info we accumulate and they say, “Wow - I like that (whatever is in the pic)! Lemme sign on for that before someone else does!” Also prolly need a decent run-time to account for the extra research and locating and obtaining (or making) kits/items that are obscenely rare, obscure, or unusual.

31

SSt (et al), here’s apic of one pattern of webgear

I have the belt from this kit - wish I’d managed to snag an entire set, dangit. There’s a Dragon set of WWII Brit guys who are carrying shoulder bags very much like this one, too. I’ve got some ideas for the rest of it that I need to try out, too.

32

replying to myself again?

Rhodesian web-gear layouts. Good site overall - poke around on there.

33

All right. a base of research. How is this for a start?

Okay. Are we ready for the SADF links yet? Here we go. I am only going to post 10 or so no more.

Well gents, that’s it for me and my posting. I could be here for days on end, and not get anything I want to do done. I hope this helps, and lets talk more on the Group build. I can post some on the congo, 1960-1965, a few on Biafra, and on the Portugese in their wars in Africa. Let me know.

37

I’ve already got most of my stuff done (technical and 2 figures, plus the diorama is at around 75-80%, so I’ll be happy to join, but all that’s left is a couple figures and some dio work. Probably take me a while with my other stuff I’m working on though, so I’ll be glad to join.

38

So build another technical! [:D]

39

Find me another 1/35 civilian pick-up truck from the 70’s to the 90’s and I’ll gladly do just that. [:D] Yeah right, it would be easier to convince Finescale modeler that they should do articles on nothing but armor, than to find another. I only found that one with the generous help of a forum member.

Go look in group builds. It will begin on the 15th of this month. I gotta get a camera.
