Having made the 21st Panzer Division's special vehicles for the Too Fat Lardies 'Kampfgruppe von Luck' pint-sized campaign (Link), I have finally taken the plunge to get started on the British Airborne troops for that campaign.

I am not sure it's a great idea but I've cleaned up all the figures and I am going to try and do them in one massive batch.

It's painful, you may shed a few tears but it's great when a large batch is completed. I just finished a batch of 107 20mm SS, tough going at times but more economical in the long run. Good luck.

Good luck to you both! I gave up a few years ago and scaled WWII down to 6 and 2mm. The strain of painting 15mm uniforms which wouldn't be visible on the table if I got them right was too much for me.

Best of luck sir!

There is no way I could handle such a load in one go without having to pass multiple sanity checks.

Gulp! I'm not sure I want to risk any sanity checks.

Good luck, Billy. As KesselMinis said- big batches are painful, but when they're finished it's worth it- once the bruises on your forehead heal a bit. Nice work on the 6pdr barrel, too.
