OK, I've read both and not been too daunted - look forward to your write-up.

As a break from being facetious

how long is the break going to be ?

I was pretty much done by the time you typed that......

Damn it's a narrow window isn't it

Did someone mention faeces?

and the Herbs got added..



So one noticeable thing about this project has been the sheer amount of stuff I have used. 100 bamboo.. vanished in a blink, 120 palm trees, used up, multiple aquarium mats, etc.. not to mention prodigious amounts of glue, paint, mdf, etc..

It's very near completion, and I won't be looking to tackle anything like that again for a while. Phew. Now, how am I going to store this lot..

I like the bamboo forest tiles a lot, where were the models for those from? The 'litter' on the base looks good too, I must add some 'erb to mine.

I like the colour you’ve got on those, mine looked a little too bright and glossy (I usually claim it’s just been raining).

Spent yesterday evening assembling Perry plastic infantry from the War of Colonial Ingratitude. The figures are fine but the instructions could be better. Basically you get shown that each figure needs two arms and a hat plus an optional blanket roll. That's fine for the rank and file but the command sprue is a guessing game. The drummer is easy enough but does he get the hanger that is in his section? There are two standards but only one figure has a cup for one? One figure has a powder horn but no cartridge box. Should he carry the fusil?

Herbidacious!!!

(For those who recall a certain 1960s Watch with Mother programme.....)

iI all. the palm trees are from a Chinese vendor, packs of 15 mixed, and the link is on my blog page.

The bases were hand cut from 3mm MDF (I used 3mm mainly because that was what I had available, but also because the extra depth gives better connections when you're pushing stuff into holes in the bases.)

Colour was airbrushed using a base of Tamiya Dark Green XF61, then mixed with Tamiya Nato green, then mixed with Tamiya Desert Yellow for highlights (which aren't showing very well in this pic).

I'll brush off the loose herbs, add some creepers, seal and add some very simple highlighting to the scatter. But it will have to wait until i buy some more paint, I used pretty much two Tamiya paint bottles on this.
