The painting is great, and they are posed perfectly.  You can almost hear the sergeant: "Take Aim!  Steady!  Wait for it...!"

Thanks for the kind words, chaps!

I'm halfway through the second unit now. 10mm is so quick to paint!

Soon they'll be giving Johnny Dervish the old what-for!

I've been good thanks! Seems like a lot of us TMP'ers/LAF'ers are scaling down to 10mm these days.

No worries about the comments. Credit where it's due.

Really nice painting and shading, but - is it just me?- or does this photo answer the age old riddle of the football chant "Who ate all the pies?"

If you are looking at doing the British in the Sudan a great online uniform guide can be found at http://perry-miniatures.com/index2.html (http://perry-miniatures.com/index2.html) drop down the menu and look at the sudan extra bits there you will find a link to an article written by one of the bros

Thanks for all the kind words.

Bases are 20mm square wooden bases from Litko.

Paints used were a variety of cheap craft paints, followed by the dip and dullcote. I can list the specific paints if you would like.
