Some local lads

My local(ish) lads.

The 1st Battalion 28th North Gloucestershire Regiment of Foot.

Quite proud of how these turned out. Also I think Ive nailed using the lightbox- for any camera nerds, the solution is setting the exposire compensation to over expose by 2 stops.

First British Batallions finished

First up is the 32nd Cornwall Regiment of Foot, 1st Battalion and the 79th Cameron Highlanders, 1st Battalion, both of the 8th Brigade.


Im pleased with how these turned out, despite all the worry I had over the tartan on the Highlanders. Saying that its hard to notice the tartan, and I think the kilt effect is shown better by their bare legs and their sporrans than my attempt at showing a tartan in 6mm!

Now on to the 28th North Glos- my local regiment. They will be fun because unlike other foot regiments they retained their stovepipe shakos and the shakos had a unique back badge to symbolise their bravery in fighting back to back in Egypt.

My first CWC project

I found some pics of my very first CWC project- a British army for the Cold War era circa 1987. This was my first army, and some other members of my gaming group made purchases at the same time, buying Russians and West Germans. Both are still yet to paint them, the slackers.

To be fair I am notorious for buying lead and never painting it, but for some reason microarmour has me hooked and I can't not paint them. Im usually a very slwo painted, especially in 28mm, but with 6mm (and 10/12mm) I seem to be able to whip through them.

Anyway enough of my blathering here's some pics. These were taken a while back and make use of my gaming mat from Terrain Mat. The figures are all GHQ apart from a couple of Navwar pieces. The infantry hadn't been painted at this point- I will have to take some pics of them and the support stands at a later date as they look rather good in my opinion.
