:O

I really need to stop hand painting mine then!

Mind sharing what you also used for the basing? It's making me jealous and wishing I didn't use pure dead/sun-burnt grass for mine : ((

Hi Leon ,

respect for your handmade flags and generally for your work ! ( i follow your blog )

For basing , i realy like the 10mm bases with sun-burnt grass . It looks very interesting with the dark Brown bases for me, something different !
Autumnal prairie in russia is my thought in mind .

For my basing i use a lot of Products from http://www.mininatur.com/products_productoverview_details.php?lang=en&id=727&kat=2&sub=1&scale=&finish=
and thin twigs and little stones that I find by go for a walk  ;)

You see , very simple....... you do not have to be jealous......with the words of captain Jean-Luc Picard : MAKE IT SO !!  m/

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for the link, I'm going to check it out!

I've been taking a slight break from painting 10mm (been painting a lot of Kingdom Death: Monster miniatures for the past few months), but I'm restarting to finish some Bavarians :)

Like it!

Are you particularly tall, or is the grenadier really short?

I guessed you must be tall as the grenadier appeared to be far too short to have been recruited otherwise.
