Greetings

now this is an interesting matchup.

I wonder about two things here:
-those germans ... would that be some softplastic minis? What did you do to get the paint sticking? A pva glue bath ?
and
-I see the sword from Nestor is as crooked as I remember mine. Was your german professor (from the CiC Set) also hideously miscast??

Great work both of you
Jo

These are AB Figures (lead) and painted to perfection.  FANTASTIC Keith! :o

Thankyou ... and yes, AB metal figures (as is the Pak).

Maybe I'll bring a force to Tactica one year to take on your Americans Frank?  :D

Yes, and yes.   :)
West Wind figures are just so full of character though, such imperfections don’t seem to matter.   :)

Just about to buy a set of the chaos In Cairo figures.  I doubt mine will look that good, though.

Really like both of these. 

Part of me wishes I never discovered that AB WWII range, they are just so damn good.

Both are really good!

Impressed with what you accomplished in 1/76! without a sense of scale looks like it could be 28mm.
