First go was a bit of a disaster as I used black for the squiggly bits on the DPM. I switched to black/grey and the squiggles became more pleasing!

They look good. How does painting them compare to other WWII/modern infantry miniatures at this scale ?

They're not as simple to paint as FofW 15mm Toms, who almost, seem to paint themselves. But these Armies Army figures look a tad better when fettled...
in my 'umble opinion.

Everybody hates the Paras, but they seem to have pee'd off the Funbunnys, who've reacted with extreme prejudice and rolled out the big guns!

Okay, good to hear. And nice T-72 (but the photo is a little dark - surely there's still some sun left in autumn?)

I have really enjoyed looking at your pics-your DPM is spectacular! My 20mm attempts are not fit to tie the bootlaces on your chaps! Maybe your use of dark grey instead of black is the secret? Anyway fantastic work

Thanks CL, hang a DPM combat jacket, on the door of the room you paint in...
it's a great inspiration!

Lovely stuff! Interested to see infantry and BTR on same base - what rules are you planning on using?

Got to keep it simple for the quarter wits I game with. So we've tickled these up a tad...

The Sunbunnys will game as a motorised Battalion and the Paras as a 'leg' Battalion.
