Here you go, I decided not to do anything else, last thing done was a little work in the paint of the figures and a little drybrush again all around. Also decided no to weather it, I think the job on the drybrush and the oils will be lost....Hope you like it, comments welcome

Backstory...here´s some advance on it:

Alternative History, UN Military Intervention in Haiti.

After the fall of the stablished government in Haiti in 2003?, caos took over the
streets and a state of anarchy pretty much like Somalia and its consequences savage the country. Warlords, ex military and Drug Zsars fought for control, and the population suffered hunger. UN decided to take part in this, but not in the regular Peacekeeping mission, because Blue Helmets where not respected and often became itself victims of the violence, being unable to fulfil their mission. For first time in a long time, the UN responde in force, starting a mission to bring peace and stability once and for all to Haiti, to avoid a major humanitarian disaster in the western hemisphere


A resolution was made by the Security Council with wide powers to react after any agression to UN troops. The first countries that answer to the UN petition for troops for the mission were Brazil, Portugal, Spain, France and Chile. Each one of the previously mentioned deployed by air an Airborne batallion, while seaborne forces were assembling.  The UN resolution aproved a force for up to 40.000 troops, to be deployed in all territories..... (to be continued)

LOL!!!  First the drunk guys in the jeep, now these dancing fools.  Seriously, I think Dexter is messing with us now.  He's building these really impressive ground pounding machines, and then, to see if we're paying attention to details, is making the crew do something out of the ordinary.

Hey, you got any more pics of your Chilean Bradley?  I can't seem to find the thread at the moment.

Another great one, Dexter!  Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Antonyp, that´s the idea (or it´s just that I build bad figures   )...wait to see them in the dio with the truck, then you´ll understand

BTW, the link to the Bradley was lost, have to reorganize my Photobucket account
lets keep with the ORBAT, I´ll open a new thread to got them organized (maybe in the Latin-o-rama group)

Cheers

Love it Dexter and your backstory rocks too! If I ever take up AFV modelling, you'd be one of the main folks I'd ask for tips!

Whiffery is good! The only problem is that now I'm so addicted to it, I want to make a whif out of every model I get, no matter how venerable the kit or subject! It gets in you Dex, and doesn't let go!
