Modern - 28mm Iraqi Tanks

Just in case you thought my modern project wasn't progressing I have some pictures to share with you today.  I've contracted out my Iraqi and US vehicles to a local painter (Seth Amsden).  He has delivered the first batch of Iraqi vehicles and they look outstanding.  This first batch covers T-55 and T-72 tanks being used by the Iraqi Army and Republican Guard.

Seth is just about done the second batch which adds a BMP-1, BMP-2, BTR-70, BRDM-2 and an MTLB for the Iraqi forces.  The US vehicles are 2x M1A1 Abrams tanks, 2 x Amtracks, 2 x Bradleys and 3 x Humvees (1 x 40mm grenade launcher, 1 x 50 cal. and 1 x TOW).

I have a USMC squad complete and waiting to be based.  30+ Iraqi insurgents are also in progress.  I'll be running a game at DundraCon in February (Advance on An Nasiriyah).

To be clear, these are pre-reformed Iraqi forces - early war when they were still fighting against the coalition forces (hence they are poorly maintained and rough looking).

Pictures below - enjoy!
