It's been a while, but I've painted up a Bren Gun group over the weekend. The problem with projects like this is they never end. I'm almost done with the platoon now - just another prone and another standing Bren Gun group to do ... but then there's things like a mortar and an anti-tank gun to consider. Then how about some Ox and Bucks glider troops? Or the Glider Pilot Regt? Maybe a jeep or two? Aaargh!

Very very tasty paintwork Cubs. Spot on.
Yes, the good news about these sorts of projects is that you can keep adding new bits and pieces to them forever ;)
(But that's a good thing, right? :D)

I'm actually thinking about buying some Stoessi's Heroes characters, because they look very lovely.

The Warlord airborne characters look ... special, but that could be the paintjob.

Those are gorgeous! Paul did an excellent job when sculpting these and your painting enhances them even further.

Oh they're yours! Well I'm going to have to get them then, since the rest of my airborne are pure Hicks as well (the new plastics are okay, but the Denisons look really puffy and make the models bulge oddly).

They really are very nice sculpts. I know I keep mentioning this but you need to find someone to commission you to do a Vietnam range. I would if I had the cash!
