I have completed some more 20mm British First World War British, the Lewis gun section and the bombers are done along with some Big men. Have a look on my blog:

As usual, great stuff from you! You certainly get your money´s worth with those Emhar figs, and the fact they look great doesn´t hurt at all.

Very good. I'm starting on a similar project using Kallistra 12mm figures, and am trying to decide whether to go with figures based singly or in pairs.

Thanks chaps. Yeah, TJ, there is a lot in the box really, I have just converted some of the left overs into rifle grenadiers, they will feature in the next post!

Morrigan, I thought along the same lines, I decided that Big Men would go on their own bases and Other Ranks in pairs, to aid movement and quickly identify who was who in a game!

They look good.

Morrigan – with 10/12mm I would suggest putting most of the figures in pairs – just to make handling easier. For Chain of Command I used 30x15mm bases with 2 figures on. For officers and NCOs I used 14mm washers. This are big enough for the figures, but not over powering.

Alex,
You really do some great work. I'm real impressed. Thanks a bunch for sharing.
