Thanks for the nice post, Chris.

Allen, thanks for the compliment on the farm progress. Much appreciated.
I just needed a break from it, hence the diversion to the Paratroopers.

Cheers.

Sorry if it is all getting a bit repetitious, chaps, but there are two more. Then that's it.

Cheers.

You gonna find some proper seats for those poor b*****s sufferin' from 90 degree twice, or are you just gonna leave 'em scattered about tryin' to get comfy?

Watch this space Dave......or a least when things get moved over to 'Completed'

1/32 scale....?
sorry, my point was that I am massively more guilty of boring my audience than dear Ron is LOL

You lot are lightweights!
Remember the hundreds I painted for my Rorkes Drift diorama?
...and they were all 1/72!

I’ve got about two hundred and fifty Zulus in 15mm, and the related British army, so not that lightweight Ron :tongue-out3:
Sold my two hundred strong 28mm Westfalian Napoleonics years ago, though still got most of the British I did at the same time. Got a fair few ACW rebels and fantasy figures as well…….all dwarfed by the unpainted grey army unfortunately.

All looking excellent Ron, although those last two look seriously hacked off about something! Did they miss the buttie van?

Andy, these two bozos tried a new vaccine which was supposed to clear their '90 degree twice' affliction, with unfortunately negative results.
They are pictured being taken back to their billet, and yes, they do look "Hacked Off"......Wouldn't you?

Nice work, but bit concerned about the first guy as it looks as he's holding a house brick in his hand, and the picture of the woman looks like she about to fend off the said brick.

Regards.

[spanner570]

Sorry 453.
It is supposed to be a lump of cake, or rations of some description.
I'll set up the better poses for the figures over in 'Completed' sometime in the future.

However, based on your most excellent observation, and without further a do, I shall set about tweeking them! :flushed:

[spanner570]

Last two....








I'll post up the final pictures over in 'Complete' asap.

Thanks for your encouraging and humorous posts along the way.

Cheers.

Remember you asked me about painting the dust caps on some 1/300 cars some years ago?

Just checking. Did you paint the end of that guy's cigarette?
