Here come the Cavalry.

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

I usually bend the reins over by using a coin. Doesn't mark them and they don't break.

Wow, that is a LOT of work!

Looks spectacular, though. Better when they're based, though. Get on that!

And his dappled grey. I just love that regiment, Ray.

I have been told of this "growing up" you speak of. It sounds like a terrible experience. We should avoid this affliction at all costs my friends! 8)

Ray,

The really sad thing is that they are going to come up against my scruffy Micks and Frogs and get their collective arses kicked. :P

...actually I'm just jealous. :mrgreen:

Churchill,
"Irish and French scum" :!:

Well i get your point with the French,but the Irish! Maybe a little confused,sometimes backing the wrong side and never ones to turn down a drink ; maybe....but when on home soil and well led , my money is with the boys. And a little later in history ,where would the British Army have been without them! And we're still serving H.R.H. Liz II :) So please save the scum comments for our cross channel neighbours.

P.S. James the II was called James the S**thead after the Boyne, imagine having that on your C.V. :oops:
