Nice one.  8) Colourful bunch, ain't they?

I dn't know how you can paint so many so quickly. It would take me a month to do thirty figs.  :cry:

Looking good Paul. Having gone through the same project myself I know what painting all those figures can take to do!

I'm doing the next 36 at the moment, after them the Americans. I noticed from your site that we have strangely similar interests  :)

Yes Nick, all Britannia. Good solid details and easy to paint. I've always like Britannia Miniatures.

I've just finished painting these technicals, there's some varnish effects to be added but I know people here understand the concept of a work in progress  :)

Anyway, I'm exceptionally pleased with the way they turned out because I hate painting vehicles, so I thought I'd share:

Nice! Are they diecast pickups? They look really good. Chunky and workmanlike. Great painting too.

They look great Paul the weathering on the Technicals is fantastic and I like how you have handled the heavy weapons on the back so they can be removed
