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

nikharwood

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

Leman

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.
