really great painting,  :love: but the bases look too green for me. More drybrush in bleach bone will be fine

I was considering doing the bases in my current style but decided to match the existing, much older Crossfire bases I already had.

The green looks ok on my table so I'm not too bothered.

I bet the green is due to a secret weapon those uppity Germans have been using! ;) :lol:

Excellent models. Iīve never seen Dadīs Army (but heard of it!), but I generally love nostalgia-inducing shows, and your work is outstanding, as usual.

Noooo! What cute little valiant sheep! Surely, they must be the ancestors of "le mouton anglo-francais"?
