This is fascinating stuff, I am especially enjoying seeing the FNs. I have never seen the FN MG on a miniature-as far as I know as I have never seen a real one!

The Empress 25Pdr looks very cool indeed and the work on your hut is inspired....really useful for many war games! I am looking forward to seeing them all painted.

As someone who's just discovered their hobby kit past, I thoroughly recommend getting those birds painted.

Makes more sense to be a Hunter. Love the Lynx conversion.
