I started out as a toy soldier collector about 20 years ago, and I just like plain green bases, like the ones you get W Britains soldiers. Looks odd, but all my stuff is like that.
I paint for a living now, and the ones I do to sell are terrain based, on which I spend a bit of time. See below:
To late to change now as I have 3x20mm WW2 armies, 2 ACW 28mm Brigades, a 28mm Marlburian unit, and a ton of 1815 Nap in 28mm, all based on plain green steel bases.
I do like the DUtch/Belgian brigade I am building, doing Dutch Militia next using Perry metal. Also doing Black Brunswickers at present which I love too.
Thanks Dutchie!
