The Loose Association of Wargamers

That’s looking good, you had a productive Friday evening what with sorting me out
Although, word to the wise, that workbench doesn’t look too stable.

Good stuff Mr Goat!

Being of an orderly turn of mind at the moment, I decided to have a closer look at my undercoating options before cracking on with various projects - testing out which delivers best finish for fastest time:

Front Rank English troops for 1745 - L to R: Halfords Black with a Halfords White overspray, Halfords White, Black Enamel wash.

The first one looks awfully crude in digital photography, the second a little bland when it comes to painting (a fourth option might be to undercoat white and use a Magic Wash to pick out the detail). The third is my favoured one at present, especially as with a little wire work the bare metal virtually paints itself, but sometimes the enamel doesn't always take the acrylic paint so well.

Are these Front Rank figures?

Very good, Simon. Worth a quick dash of Ray Chandler:

“Down these mean streets/corridors a man must go who is not himself mean (I prefer careful with money), who is neither tarnished (hey, I bathe regularly-ish) nor afraid (ok, let's park that one for the moment). He is the hero (oh dear, is that compulsory?); he is everything (well, let's not totally strip the shelves). He must be a complete man (last time I looked) and a common man (sadly, yes, very) and yet an unusual man (look, I told you all that in confidence). He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor (ok, now you're just taking the piss) — by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it (yes, definitely taking the piss). He must be the best man in his world (due to low self-esteem, not even when alone) and a good enough man for any world (soooo, it's really not looking good....)."

How many roads must a man walk down....

If Bob Dylan meets his Norm, it's all your fault Fredd!

Yes.

How compatible are these with the Flags of War figures? They look much 'chunkier'?
