To my great shame these guys were started in December last year and only now have I finished painting them. That said I think that they turned out rather well. More here link |

They look great, and useful for many things. |

Anton, Looks like the guy of the right is mimicing Babe Ruth's famous gesture about where he was going to his the home run. Great job on all these guys. Jim |

Ruth did start as a pitcher, so maybe 'well see what kind of reach he gets with the stick grenade? |

79th PA, I intend on getting another set (and using spare bits from the Great War Brits and Germans) to build Irish Republican Army troops from the Irish War of Independence |

If you bought another set of Brits you could paint them in police black-green instead of khaki and you'd have RUC B Specials, Anton. As well as performing routine internal security duties they also fought in the largest action in Ireland since the Easter Rising: the twin battles of Pettigo and Belleek in May to June 1922, in which pro and anti-treaty IRA units fought on the same side against British forces that included armour and aircraft. |

Henry Martini, I did buy two sets. Now I have to find compatible size figures to use as R.I.C.s I was planning on using 02Hundred Hours rules to model the IRA attacks against barracks and depot as well as the roadside ambuscades |

They do look awesome, despite (or because of) how long they took. |

Obelindes Sol LIC, Actually, once I decided to paint them it only took a couple of days……the rest of the time was excuses, other projects and general faffing about. Being retired I do have the time, it is just that I find painting to be quite a chore now that my eyes and hands don't work as they used to. |
