Here we go,right after Peter so if your of a nervous disposition look away .
Started the Hornet Heads this afternoon, just doing the dark back ground.
The figures have had their first 830 uniform grey coat .
Hopefully more tomorrow.
Must say the wet pallet method is enjoyable !

Don't ask why they are side on, It's magic and I cant say why.

Any comments welcome .
