Next is what has become my favorite unit so far, the LAV company... all QRF. So Commander, 3 platoons of normal LAV25, 1 recon LAV25, 1 LAV with mortar and finally the LAV-AT. Normal 1 stand = 1 platoon. The turret for the LAV seems a bit thin...I have added machine guns from the Battlefront M113 box, this aids in improving the height of the model. Apparently the mold has been recently chnaged....but these LAVs were very poorly cast for the back in particular. Biggest frustration has been the decals from I-94/Minibits, the LAVs were almost propelled across the room such was my frustration!!! the slightest hint of water and the decals just crumble. I have found the decals that have an opaque sheet covering them are OK but avoid the transparent covered ones at all costs!!!!

Next up is the Battalion Heavy Weapons company. All mounted at this stage, I have models to do the dismounted version but this is not high on the painting plan just yet! All are Peter Pig.The unit is scaled to have 2 TOW sections, 1 with 40mm AGL and one with 0.50cal.

Found a chance to take some updated photos of force. First up is the BGHQ. So the commander, a FST team, 2 mortar teams, 1 AAGW team, recon team with a sniper team and finally the engineer platoon. All infantry are Peter Pig, mortar teams are mostly WW2 US Paras with head swaps. The engineer team is of course a homage to Hurt locker! The Hummers are split, the 2 ones with the canvas top are QRF and the others PeterPig, I wish someone would do an open backed Hummer....then again I own too many already some would say!
