Looking good there, Dodge. They look even nicer all together and in a setting like that. Makes you want to play with them, don't it? You'll have to give us a battle report. Is someone else doing the Reds, or will you have to do those too?

As for those pics, that's as big as Blogspot will let you go in compose mode. I notice you have some real big versions on your blog when you click on them. You could try linking to those big ones instead, and resize them to fit the LAF using the forum commands (as 1024x768 is really a bit massive for the forum).

Not sure it's worth all that bother, though. They look fine to me.

Excellant. The group shot is especially nice. Are these heading East for some rough and tumble with your Chinese?

Can remember smoking Sobrani Black Russians in a vain attempt of sophistication at teenage parties but not white or red

That is shaping into a very nice collection.
Keep going with the horses - there's nothing to warm the cockles of your heart liked massed ranks of 28mm cavalry!

Really like the clumps of trees too - really quite realistic. How are they made?

Lovely figures, well set in the picture.  Great trees - where did they come from?

[Overlord]

The trees look like Seafoam to me.  They give a very realistic effect, as is obvious from the photos.

Overlord you are quite right they are seafoam from Antenocitis very good value and straight from the box with no additional painting although you can if you want and you can combine them to make really big trees by wrapping them together with foil but I wanted spindly dry looking trees.

I took someones idea of old cd's as bases put some polystyrene on them and polly fillered the lot before flocking , grassing and using some of that clump folliage to make undergrowth.

They came out really well and only took an afternoon plus drying time over night for the filler.

Thanks for the comments really appreciated as always.

Excellent.  I'm heading to the site now....

Great figures. Very nice army. Look brilliant all together.
Love the colour of the trees
They look very realistic but a bit fragile for the club hands of some of the people I play games with
How robust are the trees?
What about cost? Good value for money?

(PS. not sure if the back ground flowers are to scale )

A lttle fragile but i try to bve careful and store them on a shelf away from tiny hands that can destroy them.

The cost was £11 from antenocities it was the orange gaugemaster oo trees but they work a treat. Then use as posted above.

Thise are our rough and ready flowery annex curtains you are talking about 

they are really bad aren't they
