Some Scale75 metallic paints. Been very impressed with the couple I tried.

Does Manila fall within the envelope of the SYW then?

I'm contemplating buying a hex grid naval mat since someone persuaded me to start printing off 1/200 WW2 Pacific aircraft... anyone got any recommendations for something relatively inexpensive 1800 x 1200mm?

62-64 so sort of yes and no. But probably not really. Maybe...

FIW was very much part of the SYW and didn't finish until '63 so i'd say Yes.

X3 contrast paints. Blimey they're not cheap! A white, a fur and a green I'm hoping will do my Nam figures.

Technically the answer is Yes and No.
Manilla fell during the conflict but was not included in the treaty because the news didn't get back to Europe in time. The Americans made no such mistake when it was their turn.

I guess it depends how the SYW is/was defined I doubt that the people at the time called it the treaty to end the Seven Years War....or did they?

Excellent choice, the white is OK the brown will be great but the green...hmm...you might not like how the green behaves :D It will be fine on heavily textured areas but may go blotchy on anything erring towards the flat!
