Should look pretty good once done though, how are you doing them?

Really basic so should be a doddle, I just can't get into it.
Undercoated British desert yellow.
Green webbing and socks.
Brown wood.
Metal well, metal.
Skin in dwarf flesh cos it looks a bit sunburnt.
Brown wash.
Bases have been sanded and pebbled, forgot to plaster first but they will match the others at least.
B&Q clay
B&Q cream as a drybrush
Base edges in black believe it or not cos I like the contrast.
Finger out I should have done the full platoon today up to bases.
Vehicles are easier, same basecoat then wash
Drybrush creme.
Few details and job done.

Love that B&Q Clay colour, black bases always have a very tidy look to them, my desert ones are tan-earth but it had to either fit in or be black.
Black good for markings on as well.
Will have to bring Haan's slightly sandy lot up at some point.

Platoon 2 completed.
Bofors AA platoon done as well.
Well nearly, just the bases to do so will stick up a pic when finished.

Just finished off the HMG platoon.
Mortars to do next and then stick together the 25ldr's, may get em done this side of X Mass.

Haan's unbroken record of control in the sand may be under threat...

Mortars finished now, base to do.
Hope to have some guns stuck together tomorrow, just noticed Zvezda now do cruiser tanks as well.

At least my guys will now look stylish when getting run over by James's DAK.
Must admit I am thinking of getting a DAK force as well.
