Beautifully painted as always, but I must admit to not liking the bases. Too much foliage for me at 10mm.

It looks like you use the same method for your US Airborne? Works wonderfully with the bigger figures.

Commission, he wanted it 'denser'  :)

Lovely work. The green unit has clearly mastered the art of camouflage. That's why they're in such dense foliage.

Lovely surface, but I hope I live to see the three mm thick brown-edged base fashion cast into outer darkness.

These are very very nice and it would be amazing to see a shot of them fully deployed.

I have to say that I agree with Fierce Kitty regarding the thickness of the bases.  I prefer to use 0.8mm plywood myself but understand why people choose to use thick bases, but please colour/paint the edges.

These look really nice! I wonder what flocks and scatters you use?

We have limited availability here in Finland, except for the huge brands. So would really love to hear manufacturers you use!

Also regarding the bases, i dont really see the problem here. Especially mdf bases I try to keep the dark brown outer ring untouched as it looks pretty good to me.

Also larger bases make it easier to move units around as you get a better grip, which also helps keeping your mates greasy paws at check.

I've got some plastic lipped bases which I'm going to try out, aswell as 3mm thick square rounded edge resin bases. Really excited to see what kind of different styles you can experiment with to represent your miniatures on.

Edit: "also" seems to be my new favourite word...
