Got another 4 A13s on the painting table along with 9 stands of infantry is various states of readiness. I feel like I have painted way too many bare knees tonight!

Picky I know - but Matildas were part of the Army Tank Brigade not 7th AD.

Very nice work.

Oh right Ian- yeah I guess I sort of knew that. Ive got them as 7th RTR as corp support for my army list. (I think that makes sense)
Plus I love the models.  :D

Indeed not for Compass you old pedant!  ;)

Also I wont be doing anything other than my armour in Caunter, that way I can add in later war AFVs without having to buy all the ATGs, carriers etc all over again. So please dont shout at me!

LOL!  I feel your pain.  I'm taking the extra dusty approach on my vehicles to avoid such scrutiny.

Bare knees are good - so long as they're brown....   Nice job. :D

Me too, but my mate whos got the Italians hasnt even started his yet!  :(

Never fear though as I have a parcel winging its way to me from Pendraken with a DAK battlegroup for early 1941 (5th Light Division) so will have to get them painted up pronto to put a game on. Not Operation Compass but hey ho.

Don't let that great looking army go to waste! If your mate is slacking off and not getting the Italians on the field, then buy some Germans of your own, and field both sides!  :D

I used Vallejo Dark Sand for the base coat, and then Foundry British Gun Grey (highlight tone) and Foundry Granite (shade tone)
