WWI on ODIT

[Atheling]

Since you are a friend on Facebook you may have missed my attempt on painting them for both sides!

Oh, I do love them and will start painting more in the spring when I finished my Italians for Sicily.

Cheers,

Helen

Helen,

I probably missed that as I've been going on Facebook as little as possible as i tend to get drawn into conversations and before I know it an hour has passed and it's time I could have spent constructively...... no doubt I'll get sucked back into it soon 

I'll take a peek at your work at lunchtime

Thanks Darrell. Just don't look in the mirror with them on. 

I find the visors very handy as my eyes are deteriorating with age.

Have a look on Facebook at Van Dyck Models and Figurines and see the dismounted Belge Ulan.

Too late, I've already made that mistake

Mine are going at an alarming rate. I have a theory that this is mostly down to wearing reading glasses that I have bought from a chemist instead of getting my eyes tested and getting prescription reading glasses. I think that if one doesn't do this then the muscles in each eye are effectively fighting one another..... it's the only way in which I can understand the deterioration in my eyes which has happened over just one year. I've gone from x1 to x3 lenses in that short space of time!! Alarming.

I will do. I'm still bamboozled as to how he manages to get such fine detail even taking into account the optics that he uses. The mini's are nothing short of superb  .

Please make sure you do get your eyes checked. Every two years I have my eyes tested. This year saw a small revision in one eye requiring a stronger lens. The magnification lens is now 4.25 for painting. I would much like a 4.5 lens.

Back on topic. Wonderful miniatures from Kris to which I hope we may see some further releases this year.

Will do.  Phoning tomorrow in fact.

I'd love to see some Late War mini's as well though I'm guessing that if they are part of Kris's plans they may be a long way off as of yet.
