Ooh! Now that is nice.   :-*
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thanks for the feedback chaps.

These could probably do with some more drybrushing and mud

Proper nice! Excellent camo and overall look, really digging the bases as well!

I am currently painting more of these as well, an absolute joy!

@ Gunslinger: Thanks very much. It's only when looking at them on screen that all those little bits that could be tweaked suddenly jump out. Aside from several bits that the flash shows to be in need of more matt varnish, the little green patches of the camo could probably do with being reduced, and as for the eyes (my least favourite part of the process)...

I am happy with the bases, I tried out some Vallejo 'European mud', came in a pot via Amazon - new favourite product. Then after a fairly steep learning curve, I think I'm managing to make self adhesive grass tufts that look the part. At least I haven't managed to give myself any more electric shocks..!

I think you are due to be crowned the new Camo King. of LAF.

The mud is good. I haven't used it for basing but flicked and daubed it works a treat on the lower bits of vehicles.

Thanks very much for all the kind and encouraging feedback, always appreciated, please feel free to point out anything that doesn't look right (it's the only way to learn).

Here's the last of them:







Currently got a few more 20mm BAOR to do to finish off a platoon; then hopefully there will be some new 28mm British some time soon, but very tempted by the new Hue 68 marines...

Lovely! :-*
You are shelling these out so quickly, I'm still on my second squad only.Really like the whitewash on the helmets!
Will you paint vehicles to go along as well?

@ Gunslinger: Cheers, I'm my own worst enemy, always end up with too many at one time and decide to paint them at the same time. Sometime I'm going to have to try just doing one model, see if the results are any better.

I forgot about this pack, still in the camera:

You are way too harsh with yourself - they are really well painted!

Lovely work. I'm looking at these for inspiration for a late war German platoon for Chain of Command, but it will be some time before I get to that one. The camo works really well, and I am looking at the positioning of the green patches for guidance.
