Hello from Finland

[fsn]

Hello Aksu, and welcome to the place where it all happens.

I too started with Airfix and the wise words of Don Featherstone. Still have most of the Airfix stuff today, including a Churchill tank with a bent gun.

the wise words of Don Featherstone

As in "4, 5, 6 there's a kill"?

[fsn]

Certainly!

[Aksu]

Thank you all for the warm welcome! This certainly sounds like a jolly nice place to be
This might be a bit of a faux pas to post this on this thread, apologies, but anyway I'll try and attach my first ever pic of my first ever 10 mm paint job, a Union regiment marching.

[Ithoriel]

Ooh! Nice! I like those.

Lots of ACW paint jobs on the forum just now. I'm beginning to feel I'm missing out

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Not a faux pas at all, great painting!

[fred.]

Nice work on the figures, and welcome

[nikharwood]

Welcome, Aksu - nice ACW figures 

[Subedai]

As if we really needed someone else who's a decent paintsmith!

Lovely stuff, and I like the size of that unit.

[Leman]

Very nice painting and looking excellent en masse.

[paulr]

 

Very very nice

Given your hope to pick up tips you might find this thread on Magic Wash interesting http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10438.0.html

Hi Aksu,

Great painting,

kev

[Hertsblue]

Now that's what I call a unit, Aksu. Excellent.

[Orcs]

What Ian doesn't know is we have secretly traced is DNA:
0.0000006% Orc

Nothing wrong with a bit or Orc !

Welcome Asku - you will soon get used to the banter and jokes - many are ondoing ones  that go back months if not years.

Just for the record - I am the only sane one.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

No your not!

[Aksu]

Hullo,
Thanks for the magic wash tip. Looks like that particular Pledge product is not available up here, so I'll have yet another reason to raise some eybrows at the customs next time I pop over to Blighty. Perhaps I should start a petition to get some proper wargaming-related products into my local supermarket. And proper teabags of course - none of those silly sachets with bits of string attached nonsense. A painter needs his builders tea to get through a mountain of lead!
Cheers,
Aksu

[Ace of Spades]

Cool!
I like the big units, though I do prefer them to wear grey but that could be personal 

Cheers,
Rob

[Leman]

No, personal would be to call you a slave keeping reactionary.

[Hertsblue]

Nothing wrong with a bit or Orc !

Just so long as it's not the bit that rends, tears, bites or mangles.

[fsn]

Not a lot of Orc on the Totty thread though, is there?
