[OPEN POST] GOTHIC SERPENT - Somalia 1993's campaign first PW
🕑 Added 2024-09-02 18:02:17 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It is time to unveil the separate project I've been working on lately (for last months in my spare time).
I aim to create a large set based on 1993s Battle of Mogadishu.
Pre-marketing page on MMF should be open about September 16, with campaign itself starting October 2
It will include both US forces and Somalian fighters.
The target for base set is to have 8 Rangers and 8 Somalians, with stretch goals being D-boys, unarmed Somalians and whatnot, up to HMMWV and Somalian Technicals (designed by my friend Ash from Red Line Workshop) with crews made by me. Unfortunately there will probably be no downed Blackhawk itself.
US Rangers will have a mix of M16A2 (both plain and with red dot + flashlight), M16A2 with M203, Colt 727 (with red dot + flashlight) and, if possible, early M249
Somalians will enjoy a number of Kalashnikov designs and G3 (with RPG-7 being reserved for more trained militia in stretch goals)
Now probably the main question many would ask: are the models done already? Answer is - only partially, with stretch goals being exactly what they are.
It creates a certain amount of risk as i cannot show you the whole range, but also will create a huge opportunity, as you will be able to discuss, feedback and direct the process.
I will be happy to see the first feedback right here in the comments!
Cheers!
P.S. The models shown on the preview are subject to adjustments and updates. They are 85% done, but some things may be changed if i see them lacking (such as armored vests, which lack details for now).

There will be variety of helmets, no worries! M14 will not be an option for assaulter element. Reason is simple and proven on multiple occasions - different right hand position and angle of stock dictate different poses. Delta snipers will be among stretch goals though.

Looking forward to this!

Looking awesome I think it is important to have a bit of variety for the helmets (Goggles on and off, different positions on the helmet, or no goggles at all). Make sure to show the miniatures with boonie hats from other sets to encourage people to buy theses sets for more options. The grenadier vest is pretty iconic. Delta with the early chest riggs and maybe the option with M14 would be great
