Lots of small projects coming to completion. Either that or more evidence that I'm a wargaming butterfly…… The full blog post is here: A little bit of this and a little bit or that…..

Indeed.I think the British infantrymen are my favourites. you don't often see them in their sleeveless, leather jerkins.

Great work – the Brits in the sleeveless jerkins were great but my favourite would be the 72nd Regiment of Foot – those trews seem very impractical but look great

Great basing, especially the Afghans.

Agreed on the basing – how are you making those irregular shapes>? What's the core material underneath?

Agreed on the basing – how are you making those irregular shapes>? What's the core material underneath? Thanks. It's just 2mm MDF with the edges chamfered with a craft knife. You can see the process in more details in this blog post about how I based my Mahdists link

Your blog is a great read. Can I ask how you made the Afghan buildings; was it the cork tile packs from Bunnings?

Your blog is a great read. Can I ask how you made the Afghan buildings; was it the cork tile packs from Bunnings? Thanks. Yes, they come in packs of a dozen I recall and are about 13mm thick. I bought mine about 8 years ago, so not sure if they still stock them.

Cheers, I have a few packs lying around. They still sell them.
