Good stuff, well done!  I've reduced the image sizes, you just need to put a width= bit in the image tag, so it reads [img width=900... /img].

Looking good - my only suggestion would be to paint the base edges [brown, green..?] as the bare MDF is detracting a bit from your lovely figures  8)

Very nice looking figures.  :-bd

With the photos you are better cropping them before you upload them, rather than just setting the width tag on the forum.  If you crop them first then the file size is smaller and they will load quicker, also you can get rid of the extra carpet around the edges!

As to how to crop the image, it really depends on what software you have. Often some comes with your camera. If you need to get some then you can download then Picasa from Google is good for managing photos and doing basic editing.

looks good so far, i'd side with Nik, the edges need painting. I didnt do my edges on my WW2 stuff - now its gonna be an epic paint up.


Fred, thats not a carpet, the 71st have marched all the way to the Nevada desert :)   They are on a summer holiday :)



anyway back to the serious stuff...  they look great for a first attempt keep up the good work.

Simply love the porridge wogs! great attempt, keep banging em out mate , but the lads are right, its all about finnishing them off too, the bases do detract, and maybe the grass is too long? hey just may be me blithering :D :-[
