Thanks Leman! Much appreciated    The cannon smoke is simply those polystyrene packing peanuts, scrunched up tightly and liberally covered with no more nails, add the end of a cocktail stick for the sticky-out bit from the barrel and roughly dry brush a dirty grey white... very quick and easy! 

Snakes alive! Those are gorgeous!

Thank you lemmy  glad you approve

Many thanks Gentlemen for the comments

Thank you Steve, I had some old Zvezda pine tree models, which I found almost impossible to stick together, so I cut down the trunks, scratched em up a bit, added some ground tea-leaves to the top for the soil filling and then quickly dry-brushed to finish, I don't think they came out too shabby, especially from a distance!

Thanks paul, 'No More Nails' hides a multitude of sins

Thank you Glorfindel  There are a few little conversions and additions to things in there if you look closely, mostly head swaps and a bit of added Milliput!

Really impressive work, they look great.

Thank you Jasper  I'm going to slowly add more units over the course of the next year, I'm trying to finish painting one batch before I buy the next, maybe that way I'll get something completed!!!!

Lovely stuff!

Many thanks Roy  glad you like 'em!!

Re. the miliput, I've just spotted the mounted duchess/princess/empress/queen in the command group.
