Thanks Andy. Glad you like them.
They look superb Tim - as is to be expected with you driving the paintbrush, of course.
Very kind Paul, many thanks.
Just realised I’ve cocked upon the SMLE rifles……I’ve painted the top wooden part in gunmetal……DOH :sad: …..too many muskets in my past LOL……slight touch up required…..
Most excellent job on the Denisons I must say. Camo in 20 or 28 is not easy to render looking quite right.
Oh yeah, SMLEs are very easy to oaint wrong. That and they come in about twenty different shades of wood (or, at least, every different British unit I've painted has a different colour!)

Well here I am late again. Just had a catch up with your figures Tim and they look really nice. Its amazing how undercoat and a quick wash makes the details pop. Great work
Cheers Chris. The Denisons are approximated, not dead accurate. I tend to try and get the shape and size of the patches close and not worry too much ab placement. My SMLEs (in fact any wooden stocked firearm) tend to be whatever medium to dark brown I have on the wet palette. These are Vallejo mahogany brown. I never bother with wood graining as it just looks toy like to me.
Cheers Mick. Makes it far easier to paint as well. After all, you can’t really paint it if you can’t see it…..
Very true mate
Wow Tim, looks like you are having so much fun with these tiny thangs. Wonderful paint job on them too. I had to up my magnification to 15X to see them and now they look even better than before, my friend!!!

Cheers Allen, very kind my friend.
Lovely work Tim, as others have said, you did a very nice job of that camo.
Thanks bud.
All done and dusted……
..and here’s the calibration shot….with the usual giant Vallejo bottles….
Any questions, just ask….

Excellent smock work, Tim. My gosh these guys are tiny.
They'll look very smart on a gaming table
Cheers Ski. Glad you like them. There are more pictures in the finished figures section.
Thanks Mick. They should line up well with their compatriots.
