28mm late war British & Germans Arnhem etc

Cheers chaps.
Had a rethink on the bases (aka: a cunning plan)...

[Ash]

I'm done, going to stop messing around with the bases now...

Yep, they're perfect, stop tinkering

Simple and efficient

This will be the next batch. Probably on more grassy bases







These were from Offensive minis, thought I may as well paint them at the same time.



Another angle on the prone Bren gunner.

Look excellent - I like the conversion of the second handcart guy

Thanks, his fate was sealed as soon as I saw him in the early photos. Needed the other to go with the Al Murray PIAT figure.

The change to a bit of red brick looks good.  In my never so humble opinion, I think you can stop the tinkering now...

[Ash]

Al Murray gets a buddy

Another PIAT team.

Stonkingly good! You really have that Denison scheme down pat.

[Ash]

Cheers Carlos. It's the AK paint I used for the camo colours (Red Brown & Gunship Green).
It's a bit thinner than Vallejo, yet can take being watered down a hell of a lot.
I got some practice with it on those Warlord bits I painted a few months back, and noticed the paints dry in quite dark when not diluted.
On these, the green in particular was so thin that the brown showed through, so got that nice extra colour where they overlap.

Here's a couple more:

Marvellous project. Loving the Paras and now making me want to paint my own ones now.
