Nice! You are no native German speaker, are you?
You missed the N in Erbsengehirn, what would be a correct term, though everybody would just say Erbsenhirn instead.

Very true ;) I did know that there should really have been an n in I just didn't type it in :? didn't know about dropping the ge though. I will use Erbsenhirn in future it looks and sounds better, thanks

The project as taken a bit of back seat to my historical projects and painting to put food on the table, however I have managed to squeeze another three figures in

Paddock and Sutherland (Artizan Thrilling Tales figures)

(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg43/olafnn/springclean024.jpg)

and one of their adversaries

Eisen Truppe Fuhrer Lehrman (Artizan Thrilling Tales with West Wind SOTR head)

The plaid is awesome! How did you do it? I'm guessing you overlaid one color at a time.
Is there a tutorial for this somewhere? I've got a schoolgirl skirt I need to paint.

I painted it following the guidelines in Kevin Dallimore's book, I am pretty sure there is something on the net but I can't recall where at the moment, but yes one colour overlaid on another.

Anyway a Baker's dozen is 13 (one for the baker to sample) so who's going to be the unlucky number 13 then?

Listen carefully I will say this only once. That will be me, Phillipe, a member of the French resistance.
