You shouldn't be ashamed it is not weird, it is still beautiful stuff! The house building guides are good too. Where did you get the German motorcycles? Black tree?

[matakishi]

Yes, the motorcycle is from BTD.

Nice work, as usual...!

I noticed something "weird" in the uniforms, but then I read this text: "Consequently, my painting schemes reflect the ‘alternative’ WWII that I was brought up with. My Germans are grey. Not ‘fieldgrau’ but Airfix grey, I would have liked them to have all been armed with schmeisers too but alas…. My Americans are green, regardless of which articles of their varied uniform they are actually wearing, and my Tommies are in khaki.
Having both American and British Infantry is a redundancy so my British are Commandoes, all wearing ‘caps comforter’ as they did for Airfix and through countless daring raids in the war comics."

You're absolutely right... IN my childhood, US toy troops were always green, british brown, and german grey... Now I'm painting some squads I'm losing a lot of time trying to get them "historically accurate"... Gosh! They are going to be used in pulp games... I should have read your point of view before!!!  ::

great, just great. Another very interesting project!

>>(I bought far more Crossfire figures than I could ever field and ended up selling off loads. You can save money by learning from my mistake.)

I've never learned it. No chance. I've got about 250 WW2 russians (BTD, Westwind, Botl Action, Crusader). I guess, i need maybe maximally 100. God knows why i've bought the rest.

>>I am happy with a level of abstractness that separates my games from the reality they are representing. I am recreating the games of my childhood for me to enjoy.

you said it!
