    Thanks all. Been busy at work the last few days, but not much on tomorrow so I intend to tackle at least one of the wee fellas tonight. Undercoated in dark earth and ready for the off. Wish me luck!

      Almost forgot. I treated myself. I popped into the Tank Museum on Sunday and picked up this set of paints. Reckon they'll be a good base but I may need to tone them down a tad. They look a bit bright.

        Should be fun to use Alex, lots of blending coming up I think.

          Thanks for all your comments! A bit more progress - I got the No 1 finished. I wasn't happy with the first attempt - far too garish and far too dark. Toned the colours right down and I'm a lot happier.

                    Thanks chaps. It's getting there! One more figure to paint then I'll start doing the groundwork.

                          Fantastic Camo work, especially for a 28mm figure. Certainly belies the scale. Really impressed!

                              I concur with the others. Fantastic work.

                                Morning all. And thank you for all your comments! I'm working from home today, in the loosest possible sense of the word, so I'm cracking on in between answering emails. One thing that was bugging me was that the bombs were all stripped to Charge Primary (max range about 400m). So I've added some augmenting charges from tiny scraps of miliput. Better now. They'll be painted light grey when hardened.
