I have a 30 pounder laying around somewhere without a crew, and a few rece jeeps too.

This is actually my first complete force that I completely bought and painted my self. (Some of my Waffen SS and Russians are repaints of my Dads work)

Brad :grin:

I posted an extensive tutorial a while back, here's the link. http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=9609.0

All the brands were quite nice...I have to say the Bolt Action ones were very nice with lots of detail, and I have always liked Battle Honors for their quality and price. The Artizan and Crusader ones weren't bad either.

regards,

Brad :)
