Better watch out for those two. I hear the larger one wants to be a pilot. Jim |

Heard that rumor too. His nose is too big though and obscures his view of the instrument panel.He could man an unmanned drone and just ride along. |

That's the new Artizan British officer in posh teen, isn't it, Rhingyll?! What a great figure. I really need to order their command pack ASAP, and probably a unit's worth of their British infantry as well… |

It is the new officer from Artizan.I painted him myself using a method I read about on someone's blog. I dipped the raw figure in wood stain then wiped it off slightly and let it dry. Then I just added some layers of watered down paints to finish it off. It went very fast compared to how slow I usually am painting and also came out looking a lot better. The wood stain really highlights the details and makes them much clearer to see when applying paint.I can see it working well with the earth toned uniforms of the 2nd Afghan War.The Artizan figures are quite large and I will probably just use the figures as leader types although as the Afghan irregulars will be in a mob or spread out skirmishing I will more than likely buy some of those.
