I'd been sent some pictures of some printed vehicles. Not quite my cup of tea. (Since I can knock up a vehicle and have painted in a day.  lol)
Simon and Mick .Have several of the driver's available as separate set's.

This whole thread is great.
Based on the photos of figures, I purchased a number of 1st Corps figures and vehicles.
I must say, they are outstanding.
Just put a second order last week and the figures are on the way.
Thanks for sharing your work.

PS Will probably be ordering more in a few weeks. :D

Well if that's not a motive to carry on I don't know what is lol
Cheers Chaps,

Tonight I've thrown some paint at the sniper team's .
Then got side tracked playing with damaged vehicle castings and came up with this.
No idea what I'd use it for, but I might as well see it through to finish.  ::)

( I would have added some progress pictures of the sniper team's.But the lighting did something odd that left the colours looking like Pop Art  ;D)

Here's a few wip pictures of the Snipers. Still need a tweak as Ive managed to get rogue splodges of paint on both the faces of the standing figures. I'm out of matt varnish too( which was news to me as I could have sworn I'd bought some more ::) ) so I won't be basing them just yet.

The green appears much brighter than it actually is. I've used a lighter green than the re enactors suit. Just to keep them from getting too dark and looking like blobs.
It's that old conundrum of wanting to make a ghillie'd sniper that's hidden. But wanting to clearly see he's hiding.

I like the one that’s creeping up on a German sentry and the map reading figure.  Both are perfect for Auxiliary stay behind units.

Whilst my hands on the mend. I thought I'd try and finish off a few bits and bob's. After trying for the best part of the day I've come to the conclusion it hates me, and has no intention of doing as it's told.(sulked enough to physically get with in an inch of throwing the tilly driver across the garden having dropped the damned thing for the fourth time.So I gave myself a time out on the garden swing and a coffee. )
I did how ever manage to glue back together the motorcycles ( they stil need their paint retouching)and quite spectacularly get glue across the roof of the Tilly .Which felt obliged to frost. Even though it's 23°c in the shade ::)
I've decided to count to day as a win. Instead of having stuff thay needs painting .Ive just a couple of things that need a retouch.

The motorcycles are from the WW1 range. I've done a fair few motorcycles and motorcycle combo's. Some are in the Follies and WW2 ranges.
I've still got the dismounted motorcycle troops with a bren gun. As people keep asking for more.
