Greetings

now this is an interesting matchup.

I wonder about two things here:
-those germans ... would that be some softplastic minis? What did you do to get the paint sticking? A pva glue bath ?
and
-I see the sword from Nestor is as crooked as I remember mine. Was your german professor (from the CiC Set) also hideously miscast??

Great work both of you

Thankyou ... and yes, AB metal figures (as is the Pak).

Maybe I'll bring a force to Tactica one year to take on your Americans Frank?  :D

Yes, and yes.   :)
West Wind figures are just so full of character though, such imperfections don’t seem to matter.   :)

Just about to buy a set of the chaos In Cairo figures.  I doubt mine will look that good, though.

Really like both of these. 

Part of me wishes I never discovered that AB WWII range, they are just so damn good.

Both are really good!

Impressed with what you accomplished in 1/76! without a sense of scale looks like it could be 28mm.
