All very nice, Sean.

And you now seem to be in a happy place with your basing, which looks great?

Simon

[Sean Clark]

Thanks all.

Simon, yes after many years of fiddling around, I have a basing style I'm very pleased with.

I bought this Italian PBI army at the beginning  of the year hoping to attend the PBI desert day. Unfortunately that didn't work out, but I've now prepped them ready for painting.

I probably need a special order of AT rifles to bolster the platoons.

[martin goddard]

They are almost done Sean. Spray gun?

[Sean Clark]

Yes a spray can of some kind of tan/beige colour will be used, followed by drybrushing and inking!

I really like the Italian tank. A very nice kit. I've even added aerials which I've never done before!

Aerial (singular) would be better if none at all - early production M13/40 often lacked radios.....

Oops!

Never mind Sean. I watched the Battle of the Bulge happy in my ignorance of nuts and bolts.

[martin goddard]

Italian tanks do look nice. A certain flair?

Here is a view of my current painting table.

I've had the Hessian Grenadier figures for a while, having already painted a couple of units. I do like to collect all of the figures for the scenarios in the various RFCM rule sets. Call it a proclivity of mine. For the Freeman's Farm scenario in Washingtons Army, I need 3 units of Hessians, so these will be my 3rd unit.

A much more recent addition to my unpainted pile are these Civil Guard for the SCW. This was my test base which I was pleased with so it'll be full steam ahead to get these done. They will be my fifth force for Bayonets and Ideallogy. I would still like a Carlist army and a Falangist army using the figures in shirtsleeves. 

[Leman (Andy)]

Lovely work there Sean. Those Hessians have come up particularly well, especially the detail on the grenadier cap plates.

[Sean Clark]

Appreciated Andy. Another 18 to do!

[Sean Clark]

My Civil Guard are finished. It took me some time to finish these off. 4 platoons worth and a couple of HMG's.

I particularly  enjoyed making their hats shiny!

[Colonel Kilgore]

Nice job, Sean. And congratulations on reaching one of your painting milestones.
