They look really good.

Thanks Guys

I'm pleased with how they turned out, particularly the head swap

The head swap exchanged a head with Wollesly helmet for a head with a hat and emu feathers. I will leave it as an exercise for the reader to spot the two figures involved. One is easier to spot than the other  

I made some progress on the new batch this week

• arab horses base coated
• tanks base coated - dark brown
• light cars base coated - black grey, they are Model Ts
• arab horses dry brushed
• tanks first dry brush - flat earth
• light cars first dry brush - dark sand

More progress on the new batch this week

• Arabs base coated light grey or very light Browns then heavy dry brushed with ivory
• tanks final coat of khaki, rusty tracks dry brushed gunmetal
• light cars final dry brush, 'windows' dark grey, tyres grey and dust
• Welsh, I need to crack on and base coat these now the light cars are ready to have the gunner painted

Welsh & MGs base coated earlier in the week

Progress has stalled a bit

I've been distracted by thoughts about the Sudan

Not at all surprised. I am also looking into that. Like the idea of a bit of derring-do for a change from the organised armies I usually play.

Hello

There was a Sudan fan rule set 'They Don't Like it up 'em' published in the lardies Christmas 2008 special if you're interested  http://toofatlardies.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=20Cheers

Thanks Grumpy, current thoughts are a V&B wing scale variant so we don't need to learn another rule set

Fantastic paint jobs on these minis, can't wait to see more 

I must ask, what colours are you using for the Aussie undershirts? I'm struggling to think of a good vallejo colour that matches the blue-grey of the shirt.

Those horse look really good Paul

Take care

Andy

The colour looks very similar to Vallejo Grey Blue 943 to me.

You have a good eye Leman it is indeed Grey Blue 943
I dry brush with either 905 Blue Grey Pale or 989 Sky Grey as highlights

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it!

No problem Nick, for Aussies and Kiwis a lot of the undershirts were sent from home rather than being issued so a variety of colours can be used

For the 'colonials' I tend to use a mix of greens and greys  as well as blue. My Welsh all have blue undershirts.

991 Dark Sea Grey dry brushed 943 Grey Blue or 989 Sky Grey
924 Russian Uniform WWII drybrushed 972 Light Green Blue or 943 Grey Blue

I finally managed to get some more paint on this batch

• some detailing done on the tanks
• shirts dry brushed on Welsh and light car gunners
• various items of clothing picked out on the Arabs with various colours, 8 out of 10 colours so far
