Next up I would like to do some European Germans, LW Brits and some US paras.... where the order book!
Nicely done, great looking armies, and all 3 have basing which ties them together.
One little point, the Brits have Matlida 1s, which I don't think we're used in the desert. The Matlida II was used, and had even more armour and a 2pdr gun,rather then just the MGs of the Matlida I.
Good luck with the Eureopean armies, I particularly like the US Para figures.
A lovely cohesive feel for all of these, nicely painted and well based. I don't think Matilda I's were used in the desert campaign though, but could be wrong.
Very, very nice Chubooga. =D> :-bd
Cheers - Phil.

No. Better off with Valentines or even Shermans. Excellent presentation, though. 8)
REally cool kit, blend into the basing superbly! 8)
thanks gents, good spot on the matilda, tbh, just bought them without really thinking it through and they were in the basket before I realised!
they will do for me though.!
going to place my order for europeans theatre stuff tomorrow....
so much on the want list.... so little patience!
They look wonderful.
Really nicely done 8)
Excellent, very nice!

Very nice looking army sir, and so excellent to see the British rather than the usual Afrika Corps.
I just don't understand the seeming fascination by WWII players with the Nazis.

Um..cos they're the major opfor? :-\ :-/
And the Japs are even worse. Which leaves the Italians......

Usually best to leave the Italians ;)
Apart from these:

Phhoooaarr very nice my good man, I take it the armour are on another (unnamed evil empire) medium sized bases correct?
yes, I used some plastic bases from another system for these.... since then Ive started using 2mm MDF ones....have done a LW british, German Para and large German collection on these... will photograph them tomorrow if it stops raining!

Ah, now then...they're not illegal Ray - just hidden...a perk of the job ;)
I'd have preferred a company Mercedes and single malt on-tap, but hey...what can you do? :d

Some lovely Brits and Germans there chubooga. I especially like the 'winter paint' effect; very well done indeed sir. =D>
You've definitely god some skilled brushwork going on there, and the basing really is top notch and rounds the whole force off nicely.
I wouldn't want to face that Hun force though...there's a mass of Panthers in there...very nasty.
One thing i would say though is i'm not to sure about the colour on those British tanks. Are they the right shade? I don't know, but they just look a bit 'American' to me.
Still lovely though! :-bd
