Muzfish I think your minion has done an excellent job and should be very proud! Keep up the good work (and bravo for starting the addiction).
BALM
Thanks, BALM. He asked, quite out of the blue, to see the comments here last night and said that over the upcoming holidays he will another lighter drybrush and then work on the tracks and machine guns. Luckily I managed to hide the bit above where I mentioned his upcoming birthday present.
I'll post the results here and see when they're done and see how his Little Brother goes with his US armour.
They are both also into GW stuff (through the Warhammer Conquest magazine) and the local store has a painting competition every school holidays so they are both working on their entries already.
It's great to have something we can all do together.
