Bah! It's because they're extremely irritating stick-on hats. they looked fine until shown in EXTREME CLOSE-UP... :(

Just comparing those 'GR' cyphers to the ones I did in 2005 - the hands/eyesight sadly isn't what it once was. :(

Welcome to the Old Farts Club. You can always "cheat" and use decals, mate, but they look OK as is.

Ooo those are bloody good. Are they decals then?

Yes, mate, on 18mm Eurekas. Easy to make and all you need to do is paint the flap gloss white so they adhere properly. If you sent me the designs you want on each hat, and the width and height of each hat, I could do the artwork up for you to print out your own. All you'd need is the decal paper for your printer (inkjet or laser) and some spray acrylic varnish to seal them before you apply them. They're not great but they are effective, and much better than I can do free-hand:

Nice unit. Looks like the 15th Light Dragoons - Emsdorff and Victory!

Thanks, gents, Dan Dunbar painted 'em for me and deserves the credit. I'm just trying to show how old, lazy buggers can do some of the work on their figures with decals. I like decals. I have the artistic skills of used cat litter, but I know my way around a graphics program well enough to make decal artwork.

That's them, mate. My whole Brit-Han contingent is still awaiting their first routing (no, not a typo- routing). Some will get their chance next week, I hope.

As in "You don't truly belong to me until you've run off the wrong edge of the table due to a series of bad dice rolls"?

Yep, know that feeling!
