Not sure really - wasn't paying attention to time this afternoon - probably about an hour or so? I am a fast painter though... :)

All ready for final base detailing, 'Magic' wash & final highlight...
they look great i cant wait to get them on the boards and take pics of them. your doing a great job thankyou
Glad you like them Luke - they've just had their first wash - will re-highlight once that's dry; they'll get another wash later tonight & then I'll tidy the base edges tomorrow: finally, matt varnish & then onto ze Germans :) 8)
These are going to look good on your lovely table :-bd
Whoa these look good as well (tanks again though with BEF and/or 1915 troops) but a lovely paint job. Don't think my 15mm WWI Brits will ever get painted now - got to be 10mm.

Those Brits look even better with some paint on them. Nicely done! 8) 8) 8)
Thanks! They're all completely completed now - pics tomorrow :)

Ohhh those are lovely! I might even be jealous.
What do I mean might! Fantastic stuff.
This is a lovely collection! And WWI is a difficult subject to paint well in any scale as making the figures stand out in view of the limited pallete available takes quite a bit of skill. Well done indeed.
Nik,
Those are great, love the tanks, and the command group (and the photos!).
