Awesome job on the base and figures. Hard to do carnage realistically....you did it with skill. Your paint style is captivating. Bill

Beautiful work on the figures - especially the camo! I shall certainly be trying using double sided tape to hold small pieces for painting. It looks better than my drill a hole/cocktail stick/superglue method! Great arrangement and use of space too. Nice one. 👍

[@41sniper]

Thanks Andrew! Yeah the tape trick is awesome for the tiny things. tape them to a sheet of paper or a popsicle stick and you can handle them much easier while airbrushing or hand brushing

@@41sniper I'm using it as we speak! Spot on. 😁👍

Looks fantastic. You do great work, and show your techniques well, too. But I have one pet peeve, that I point out often. Every military crate or box is marked with stenciled markings providing a description of the contents. Is it ammo, rations, medical supplies, etc.? Fine print decals or (my preference) dry transfers, work really well for these markings (they don’t need to be legible) and they add a lot of scale visual interest. Just like the stencil on the Panzerfaust does. BTW, I spent many years as an Army officer, both Infantry and logistics roles. Ralph

Oh I agree with you... I just didn't think it was worth the extra time and effort when I knew I was going to shove it back in the "hole" so deep that nobody would ever see it. I almost feel like all the work I did on the crate to make it look nice was kinda wasted once I got it into position. But, like I said, I agree with you... if it had been out in the open I would definitely have put markings on it.

​@@41sniper Ah, I understand. But I see too many fine modelers, miss that aspect, and opportunity. Keep up the great work!

To be honest I don't remember. I've had them laying around for a long time. I think I picked them up on eBay.
