Cracking mate, I hadn't noticed the field dressing on the one cocking his rifle on my ones, beautiful little details on these figures.

It took me a while to realise it wasn't something to attack with a file..!

Here's the last of the infantry.

They are all great, if I had to choose though, I would definitely point out the medic in the former batch and the bloke in his kilt in the latter batch. I do like the paintjob on these specifically, especially the tartan(?).

Thanks guys.
The kilt wasn't too taxing. dark'ish blue all over, broad green check pattern (could have done with a second coat, as it dried a tad dark).
Thin red line through the middle of the green, then a thin yellow line down the edges of the green. Finished off with a wash of dirty water...

Finished a couple of Mortar teams.
Used the figures from an extra pack of the 6 pounder crew.

The figures are great, however if I had to pick something, the basing really stands out on this one. The bushes especially look realistic. A small diorama.

Great stuff, Ash!

Cheers, I was going for that dug into a ditch look for this.

That mortar vignette is a masterpiece. The fact that you can see the roots of the foliage in the pit is brilliant. :-*

Thanks Carlos.

Here's the other team. With more rather large sand bags, they look smaller when in the making, for some reason once painted they look massive...
