A Smoke And A PancakeFree Nations: Wayne’s Nederland Koninklijke Landmacht Forcewith Wayne TurnerDuring the creation of Free Nations it was all hands to the pump to prepare models to photograph for the book and cards. So as well as writing the book during my working hours, I also volunteered to paint the Dutch models in free time.
During this burst of painting I managed to assemble what would become the core of my Dutch Force. At the moment my painted models consists of four Leopard 2 main battle tanks, three PRTL anti-aircraft tanks, three M106 mortar carriers, three M109 SP howitzers, four YPR-764 IFVs, and four M113 C&V reconnaissance tracks.
The plan at the moment is to create this force:
M113 C&V (x 1)
FAL rifle team (x 1)
YPR-765 (x 1)
It’s a bit over my 100 point target, but there are a few teams that can be added or removed as needed to fit inside 100 points. So I have a bunch more Dutch to paint, but I’ve received my first batch, so I have something to get started with, with Stinger teams and my HQ M113 C&V.~Wayne
