Greetings from sunny Yorkshire
« on: December 29, 2011, 04:19:16 PM »
Hello all.

I've been lurking for a long while now and thought i should really sign up and get involved.

Interested in all sorts but currently getting into Darkest Africa, starting with a box of lovely WG Zulu!

Bit of advice please,  am trying to upload my own avatar pic but keep being told isnt an avatar or too large.  What formats are allowed and what is the size limit as i cant seem to find this info?  thanks

Kevin

Welcome to the LAF! Regarding your avatar, if you resize it to 80x80 pixels and 20kb or less filesize, it should work just fine (provided there isn't a glitch or something - I just tried it and it worked).

Welcome aboard!

I see you have taken that first dip back into the dark, murky waters, no longer just ogling!
Now, be a good chap, and get some paint on those Zulus!

Got them de-sprued, cleaned, glued to bases and assembled. Took hours!  Will get the bases milliputted and them all undercoated today. It took so much longer than I expected but they look lovely.  I'm so impressed with the quality of the WG Zulus, so much better than the plastic minis I remember from 25yrs ago as a kid!

Greetings, take your coat off and sit down.  I'll put the kettle on for a brew.  You'll be here for a long time.  :D
