15mm Heavy Metal

My 15mm military forces got a littl extra fire power this week.  I finished a couple of Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs)  They are done up in colors for the mid-east.  They can, and will, just as easily fit into the middle of a US city.  I don't really like basing my vehicles.  The way these things went together, though, I really didn't have a choice, unless I wanted the tracks popping off every time they hit the table.

 

The M2 Bradley (foreground) is from a company that I can't recall and the LAV-25 is from QRF Models.  The photos below show them with some Peter Pig US Marines.  Honestly, they are little on the small side.  Still they are nice models and look good on the table.

This armor will make good back up, for my Irish Serb HMMVs.  I replaced the resin .50Cal on the HMMV on the right with a metal one from Peter Pig.  It looks much better.  The Irish Serb HMMVs are the best on the market, IMO, and well worth the price.

 

The turrets on both vehicles are removable,  so I took an extra one and modeled it as manned.  I used the kneeling Peter Pig Marine .50 Cal gunner; hacked off at the waist, and card for the hatch doors.
