Qatari AMX-30

I needed these for a game (based on the Battle of Khafji, 1991) a few years ago to represent a rather under-strength tank battalion.  The models are rather splendid GHQ castings but have been rather let down by my painting and photography.
By the way, in the game (which I ran three times but sadly have no photos of), the unit lived up to it's 1991 nickname - 'Panzer Group Qatar'.

    I think your painting and photographing are up to the standards of the castings? I like the terrain hex - is this the Hexon stuff David C raves about?

    PD

    You are very kind. It is indeed Hexon terrain as mentioned by raving David C... The desert set was bought as 'blank' tiles and 'flocked' with real sand: http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2008/12/hexon-terrain.html

    Nothing wrong with painting Tim. They look good.
