20mm PLO - small pictorial of a recent order

These are the latest 20mm PLO I picked up from RH Models (aka Liberation). Picture of each with the code so I can remember what I have painted later and know what else to order.

 

Always almost flawless casts, and cheaper than many others!....something many producers should learn tbh...life is too short to fill dozens of holes before you can paint.

 

What I will be working towards to, so I need to find 2 beret guys in my stash and sculpt them kefiyehs. Also need to find some spare M-16s

 

PLO COM - 7 man command group

 

PLO RPK - 3 man RPK LMG

 

PLO 14A - Young Lions (aka kids) with RPK

 

WEA48 -  4x PKM on pintle mount...very handy for pick ups, guard towers and upgrading APC's

 

PLO RPD - 3x RPD LMG

 

PLO SNI - 3x Dragunov sniper

 

PLO PRO SNI - 2x prone Dragunov snipers

 

ARA DICT - 2x Arab dictator, 1 with kefiyeh and medals, 1 slighty taller. Guy on the left makes a perfect Iranian officer.

 

PLO RPG - 2x RPG-7

 

PLO PKM - 3x PKM

 

PLO DRIV - driver for jeeps, trucks etc
PLO 145 - seated gunner for AA guns

PLO STPKM - standing PKM gunner for pickup, truck or APC

 

PLO AK47 - 10 guys with an AK

Keffiyeh / Shemagh painting tutorial 

by Aaron Vayro

Paint the shemagh in your choice of red (in this case Vallejo FLat Red), making sure to leave black lines for the folds. Use a dark wash on the Shemagh and re highlight. If you want to paint a black Shemagh start with German grey, again leaving black lines for the folds, and washing with black wash.

Wash applied and re highlighted

 Thin paint and paint in white lines to represent edge of the pattern . And the tassle bits . Try keep some of the black showing . Trying to make the headscarf appear folded . Best to work in triangle shapes . Some touch ups may be needed

 Thin paint and paint in the dots . Or small lines . Trying to keep them all in a line to represent a pattern . But try and follow the contour and the segment / triangle you are painting.
Handy to have a bit of red paint to use to correct any mistakes as you go .

This should work in 15mm, 20mm and 28mm.
