Wow.  I am fighting down an urge to go home and beat my figures to death with a hammer.  Your brushwork is superb.

If I may make one comment, the shiny plasticness of the foliage detracts from the wonderful figures. It may be a small point, but a quick spray of leather brown or khaki will take care of that and you would then have a table to kill die for.

Very nice.  I respectfully disagree about the plastic foliage.  It looks great to me.  A lot of plants have a sheen to them, so  I think they actually look realistic left as bare plastic.  Also, you run the risk of spray paint flaking off of soft plastic like that, which will look far worse than any excess shinyness.

None of it mine. All panted by my talented chum General Ballroom. He is rather good at it, isn't he?

I think it's more noticeable in the pictures than r/l. I have a bunch of the same stuff myself (these are all Gen. B.'s) and I've considered the wash approach, but I always just end up in an "it'll do" place.
