Brilliant!

Beautiful, rich colours on these, and that Obelisk guy with the LMG is amazing! I loved the conversion anyway, but the blue and orange colour scheme is sublime. Lovely basing too.

BoB is one of the few gaming periods/arenas that I've resisted so far, but if we keep getting eye-candy like this, I don't know how much longer my willpower is going to hold out!

The new additions are gorgeous. Both the orange/blue LMG guy and the bandit with the red head scarf really stand out among their more muted compatriots. Beautiful stuff!

These are just damn fine! I would never have thought of the orange vest but it really works (and he in my undergraduate alma mater colors - Go Illini!)

Thanks chaps :)

Superb. What a picture  :-*

Cheers, Richard, for a moment I was thinking of keeping it back as idea for a possible LPL entry :)

Loving them! :-*

BoB-renaissance! I like it :) Yes, it's kinda renaissance for me. Some themes are probably for ever, they're coming again and again.

Brilliant!

Beautiful, rich colours on these, and that Obelisk guy with the LMG is amazing! I loved the conversion anyway, but the blue and orange colour scheme is sublime. Lovely basing too.

BoB is one of the few gaming periods/arenas that I've resisted so far, but if we keep getting eye-candy like this, I don't know how much longer my willpower is going to hold out!

I'm also quite please with how he's turned out. I wasn't sure about orange at all, starting it with very red as background but It worked even better than I thought it would.

The new additions are gorgeous. Both the orange/blue LMG guy and the bandit with the red head scarf really stand out among their more muted compatriots. Beautiful stuff!

next point I wasn't sure of, actually the basic idea was to keep them all muted but my love to bright colors won :)

Stunning eye-candy, Alex.

Oh yes, Paul, that's for sure ;-)

Splendid work Alex  :-* :-* :-*

Love the paint job on the Lanchester/Rolls Royce (don't know which it is  o_o)

It's a Rolls Royce, James. I'm not sure but I believe it's the model that Copplestone did offer many years ago within his BoB range. It's actually a bit too small. I've another larger Rolls Royce model, probably Brigade (?), it's been a gift by our Helen. I will be painting it at some point as well.

Thanks :) btw, originally I was intending to paint some patterns on it but finally I was so pleased with this orange that I've decided not to do it. Was afraid of screwing it up :)


This is so good Alex

And what was the last book I just finished reading?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2899999-the-bloody-white-baron

That's a good one! Bought it years ago too. I#m just re-reading the East Ablaze by Hopkirk, a real BoB classic!
