Hello!!

[Ava and Shaun]

Mine and avas first attempt!! Be kind haha

[fred.]

Good stuff, the painting looks good. 

With the basing I'd definitely paint the cast on bases of the figures, either brown to match the MDF or green to match the flock. And then I'd make sure there is at least some flock on the figure bases too - especially on the HMG which has a huge cast base. 

I quite like the lush green look of your bases - even though I tend to go for more of a mix of brown earth and green grass. 

[Ava and Shaun]

Brilliant thank you for the advice!  Much appreciated:)

Nice looking vignette and very lush basing. Well done sir and ma'am.

The depressing thing is that Orcs, although attended by gentlefolk in snowy robes, is not in any way an unusual member of the forum.



Makes me wonder if the forum affects people strangely, or if strange people are attracted to the forum.   

But this is FSN talking...

The forum is by turns warm, welcoming, well informed, willing to help and .... well weird!

Well, 2 out of 5 ain't bad...

Welcome to you both.  Quick question - how old is Ava; wondering because female wargamers are unusual.

[Ava and Shaun]

Ava is 8 years old! She loves painting models, it was her that got us to go to Pendraken!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Great, get em young !

Brilliant, I find painting really relaxing. To the point that Mrs Orcs will tell me to go and paint if I am getting a bit tetchy.

Great stuff! You can't go wrong with WWII Brits.

Thinking about my first efforts ... 

If I may make a small suggestion: consider substituting scatter grass (available from Pendraken) for the flocking. I am not a basing expert (some of the bases these chaps do are genuine works of art), but I find the grass to be less distracting than the flock. It's all personal taste, but something I found beneficial.





Well done Ava!

[Ava and Shaun]

Thanks guys Ava is beeming, thanks for all the tips!! We are going to have a paint tonight! Thanks again

I suspect I am not alone in being keen to see pictures of your latest work.
