Five months have past since my last post. I am glad because during this period I finished all the miniatures and vehicles of my 8th Army. I will post all of them in parts the following weeks.
I decided to start with my two SAS jeeps. They are amazing models. I faced two difficulties though, how to stick their wheels right and how to paint the plethora of objects that they carry.
The SAS jeeps
Their wheels
One of the jeeps has an empty front seat. I kitbashed a miniature of a British soldier from the Bren Carriers box to an SAS NCO who gives a signal to his men.

I worried that the wheels would come off the jeeps chassis so I glued the jeeps on bases.

In Chania of Crete, there is a jeep of the Sacred Squadron that fought alongside the SAS in the Western Desert during the WWII. It participates in various events and takes part during the military parades. Anyone who wants to read about their actions, can check here.

My blog despite the difficulties, on 25th of August became fourteen years old!
Great work!
