Very Very nice again Ray. Definitely a fan of Front Rank. They paint up really nicely in the hands of a good brushman.
Yes they do. Pity it was not Ray who painted them. Infact it is a fellow club member of mine called Bob Lorton.
After buying some figures from Bob off Ebay Ray commissioned Bob to do the last 10 regiments for his British army.
Now I would not have noticed any of this had it not benn for two thing. 1: I happened to be at Bob's house when he was taking some photos that he was going to send to Ray and 2: I recognise Bob's basing style.
When I saw the units on the forum I contacted Bob and was asked not to say anything until the commission had been finished. That has been done.
A couple of things Bob is Cheltenham Town supporter hence the supporters programme in a few of the photos. (bet Ray does not have a copy!)
Bob met Ray and pointed out to him that Bob knows me and this should have given him some idea as to what the future would hold.
I have also hinted on occasion that I knew Ray had not painted them but Ray just blundered on making up lie after lie to try to cover his tracks.
Also placing a unit in a painting competition and taking the prize takes the biscuit. I own a few armies that Bob has painted (mainly 40K) and I have never allowed them to be entered as painted by me.
Why am I doing this and not Bob, because I asked to do it I have sat on this for a number of months now and at last have the chance to tell the truth. Thats it now the whole world gets to read it.
