Was looking over some old images I captured off the net (ebay) of WWII 15mm stuff. By far the best I have seen were the 82nd Abn stuff for FOW but I will be damn if I can remember who it was on ebay. Anyone have any outstanding 15mm Army photos on the net? VR James Mattes |

You were probably looking at Warpainter's airborne troopers: link Allen |

Well, he certainly gets my vote! Very impressive. |

If Troup of Shewe has any FOW, he would get my vote. |

If you click "Back to Main" he has a link to his e-bay store. To save your finger the clicks here is a direct link: auction |

Warpainter's troops are fantastic. Just my two cents. |

Why mine are the best, of course. Sorry, no pictures. Just take my word for it, they're good. |

Yeah, I consider myself a pretty good 15mm painter, but I wander out to some warpainter pictures whenever I need to remind myself that I ain't done learning yet ;-). Don. |

Those are fantastic ..it's the basing that really makes it. I want more! So who, then, is SECOND best? |

Are you kidding – those are only just okay troops – I mean really – he painted too many stars on the flag AND they aren't all 5 pointed stars either – some of them are merely dots. Really – those are excellent paint jobs – as good as or better than my best paint jobs. I've done work which is close to that on a few WWII figs – but those are really amazing. I've done as well on some of my SYW troops – those danged lace patterns drove me nuts! But to do it whole sale on a contract basis – surely he is one of the best if not the best contract painter I've seen – and I've seen quite a few! |

I have images off Ebay of his 82nd Airborne figures that have the 82nd Airborne patch! I wish I could contact him to get some for the 82nd Division museum. They are building a new wing and looking for stuff. I am talking to them about doing a wargame in the back of the C-130 on site for next year! VR James Mattes |
