As always I have used toys from a variety of manufacturers. Most of whose models are first class but there are one or two who incurred my displeasure as to the quality, fit and ease of construction of their product. These were a minority thankfully; only occasionally did I reach for a hammer........
I've broken the force down into four parts: HQ & Artillery and Armour & Support Group. Today's offering is the HQ plus corps assets and the corps artillery. The WDF had a LOT of artillery. I imagine to compensate for the lack of infantry but also because the British artillery was consistently excellent. Gotta feel sorry for those Italians.

Nice execution on these James.The bases look superb.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Paul, much appreciated. The bases are foam core. I do a base coat of some sandy type colour from a cheap matchpot. Then I mix pva with a slightly different sandy colour. With a cheap artists brush I then 'paint' the mix on. I have a box of mixed budgie sand and gravel, with a scoop, I then ladle the sand/gravel mix onto the base. Tap the bottom a couple of times to get the excess sand back in the box and then allow to dry. Highlight if required. Done.
