Was sitting there the other night thinking I really should be getting on with something layout orientated but was constrained both by feeling really lazy and the fact that my wife was busying herself with something on the computer in the same room so no cutting or filing of metal allowed. She hate the sound but I retaliate by not letting her file her nails anywhere near me! Anyway, it seemed as if I had little option but to start on the forty or so figures I have been amassing. Now, I don't think I have painted such things since teenage years of plastic modeling. Things seem to be a lot easier (and quicker) now with acrylic paint and was rather please with the results - until I photographed them! That really shows them up at their worst. Am looking at them now from a couple of feet and they don't seem bad again. Only thing I really haven't got right yet is the flesh colour which is possibly the reason that I think they look far better from behind. See what you think;

As the field kitchen was still hanging around and a book with a nice big picture I had a little play.
