For a while now, Ive been wanting to do a Syrian/Iraq style tank crew, from various photos, the kit/uniform is even more varied than 1970/1980s British tank crew (Still have nightmares re our NBC crew). Also seen photos of them in a mix of military and civilian clothing... so a lot of choice. Already have head sets, so its just a case or torsos and arms... Liked this mix of uniforms in the photo below, which Ill loosely base our set on (I'm thinking along the lines of a Middle East Odd ball tank crew :-)  |

I think this is going to be another good idea  |

Slow progress on this tank crew :-) Torsos just about done (the heads are some spares I had cast) will use the original masters from our Middle East tank crew head set when I come to do the moulds. Arms currently just a copper wire armature, but have hands tagged on to test fit.   |

We used to call them hubble bubble pipes...we used to go to a restaurant in Dubai, where they used to sit and smoke them (apple tobacco) used to smell nice when leaving the restaurant:-) although never tried them ourselves ...
