Another post with items for the Far East.

JAPANESE JITTERPARTY/SCOUT

I decided to make 2 x 3 man teams to use as Support options for the Japanese. These can be used as a Jitter party and or scout team. I purposely make them look different to my Japanese main force by using caps instead of helmets and replacing the colour of their trousers to look like captured British trousers. I also added a strap for the rifle with Green stuff putty.

The figures are made of metal and are excellent sculpted figures available from Eureka.

HIROO ONODA

This is a metal figure from Stoessis Heroes, nice sculpted figure again sporting captured British trousers and a Hexagon base to indicate he is a Senior Leader.

ROAD BLOCK

Collected some twigs from the garden, cut them into short pieces, roughly the same length and glued them together. I also added some branches with leaves to signified that they where hasty cut.

JAPANESE TYPE 94 TANKETTE

This is a very nice resin model of the tankette given to me by a friend. Its a tiny model as can be seen in comparison to the 28mm Japanese figure and the other Japanese main battle tanks.

ANTI TANK DITCH

The Anti tank ditches are made from thick outdoor canvas I found in my scrap bit in the garage. I cut into strips measuring 12" x 4", sprayed them black and added flock.

WATER BUFFOLO

These are from the plastic Pegasus 1/48 Farm Animal set. They are actually cows, with a bit of Milliput and Green Stuff putty to convert them into water buffalo. I also cut down two of the cows to simulate one as kneeling and the other as if in water.

SHOCK MARKERS MARKERS

We found that we were forgetting to roll for deployment of troops on the gaming table that were attacked with a Pre game Barrage/Air attack. To rectify this we used these markers next to a players JOPs when a Pre Game Barrage or Air Attack has been declared by their opponent. This helped remind them to roll for deployment of their troops under a Pre game/Air attack.

MULES/DONKEYS

I used some old 25mm figures purchased at a bring and buy. I removed the figures and the saddle. I manipulated the metal horses to convert them, bending the horses heads legs with pliers and added baggage with Milliput and Green Putty.

I think they will come in handy with troops travelling through Jungle terrain.
