I'm happy with contrasts and the odd Scale 75 Instant colour. I think that you can still highlight or spray varnish over Speedpaints but I wouldn't risk brush varnishing.

Ordered some carded charcoal-coloured cotton, aiming for good smoke effects.

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.
