Hi All,
This is my first time posting pics. I received my first Pendraken order about three weeks ago, and I'm very impressed with the quality of the figs and the service. Very clean castings. I'm starting my Western Desert project (Operation Crusader, give or take a few months) with a DAK schultzen battalion and an 8th Army motor regiment. I'm using the very fine BKC army lists from micromark.
Here are the pics. I could have painted a lot of minis in the time it's taken to figure out how to post pics. First, some British rifle platoons.
Thanks for taking a look.

Next, some DAK soft skins. I'm very happy with these.

Get thee behind me Jerboa!

I don't need an excuse to buy more tanks.

I have enough.

But I don't have any Grants.

Or mid war Pz IIIs.

Ha! No worry to me. As my painting standards are POOR I just get depressed looking at such fine work. WWII Desert is my favourite interest so I would really like to know how to do such good paint work.
