From the workbench...What I can field...(mostly)....


So it's been a while dear reader since I have been able to get an idea of what it is that I have. I have been working on an inventory of what I have and need (and alas...want) for a while now...
But to get an idea of what it is that I have pretty much on hand, I decided to do the photo thing.....

I took what I had (mostly), and set them up on the kitchen table....and ran out of room.
I was unable to get a FULL photograph...(one day I keep telling myself...one day...), and so had to get sectional shots.

Please note that this is NOT the "entire collection...
The following items are not included:
1: USMC: 20 odd stands of figures
2: USMC: 4 M1A1's
3: USMC: 5 AAVP7's
4: 5 UH-60's
5: 1 Mi-24
6: 2 Various Misc Helicopters
7: 20 odd stands of Presidential Guard Troops
8: 20 odd more stands of Civilians, Media, Characters, etc.
9: 2 Bongolesian Navy Vessels
10: 1 BRDM2 with AT/5


And so now..without further eloquence....
Here's what I can show you...



 A potpurri of mixed vehicles including an SA-4 system, BTR-152's, troop trucks, technicals, cargo trucks, Chinese fuel oil trucks, a burned out Petroco wreck, and a large piece of "Farm Equipment"...


 Civilian vehicles, including the Presidential Limo, fuel trucks, ice cream trucks, Bongo Cola tanker trucks, school-buses, and other assorted goodies...


 NDF combat equipment, including the PT-76's from "The Fighting Jujus" and the T-34's from "The Golden Lions", along with the Presidential Guard T-62's...


The outnumbered and outgunned UN forces...(More for them to come)...


 A quick view of the figures...close up to follow...


 Fixed wing air support including the Mig-17 from the BAF and the UN Aerial Asset also known as "The Blue Swallow"...


Another shot of the figures...


A close of up the characters and personas and other misc of the Bongolesians...Here you can see his Excellency President-For-Life B'wonah, Vienna Dupree, Santa Klaus, The mysterious one man jungle fighter "Rambone" Sister Mary Hermann-Goering with her nuns, The Reverend Father Doctor John, Kimba the Lion, and a wide assortment of others.


A close up of the BARF troops...those who would overthrow the government of Bongolesia... 


 NDF troops...including motorcycle escorts and support weapons...(Soon to get more reinforcements)...


 The "mix" box...from L to R: US Special Forces, UN Troops, and "The Wild Ducks" mercenary group...


And last but not least...when it's time to finally leave the country...fly out in style with "Air de' Bongo"...(aka "Bongo-Air"), the national airlines of Bongolesia...(actually the only airlines in Bongolesia)...


Well that's it pretty much for now...more to be coming...as projects are getting finished on my workbench...next up..some more vehicles, troops and scenery!!!!

Comments are appreciated...

'Bongo-Air'-love the DC-3! Should be a combined 'Looking Glass', 'Spectre' and party plane for the President. Unless he has something better.
Impressive!

Thanks for the review! Bongo Air DC3 also my favourite. Sorry I missed the recent Indepence day celebrations.
