They do work rather well don't they. :)

The RU boxes are more expensive than most but REALLY well made (get what you pay for and all that).

What are the square paints Hussar?
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Last Hussar

Revell, also from Hobbycraft.  GW are good strong colours, Revell do the real world and military shades: so I use Poached Egg Yolk (or some such silly name) from GW - it really does look like yolk - for yellow, and 'Dunkelgelb' for sand.  You need your strongest glasses for buying the Revell pots, the English colour is half the size of the German.

Like you say the RUBoxes are more expensive, but I try not to use anything else now- £12 is a long term investment, rather than 3 pints.  I've never got on with magnabase - the stuff always seems to slip in the box anyway
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Well finally decided to retire the old illuminated magnifying glass and invest in an Optivisor.

What kind of idiot am I for not doing this sooner?  X_X

Genius idea with the added advantage of sending Mrs V into giggles every time I put them on.

You are wearing it on your head, aren't you?

I'd let her wear it.

;D

.... Damn it, fsn! Beat me to it!

Optivisor. Guaranteed to make your jewels look bigger.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
