Odds and Sods Part 2

Lots of distractions preventing me from making any real progress lately have led to a new policy: less is more and small steps are large ones. To that tenuous end, here are a few of the things I have been doing lately; there are other bits 'n' pieces, but these are probably worth mentioning.






Plastic Soldier Company Late German Infantry, I've had these a while, only got round to starting them recently. They are intended to be used with THW CR 3.0 freebie skirmish rules, which I think are fab :) I also bought some Red Army bods too at Salute, but, alas, they remain in their box for now...







Next up - Peter Pig's US Marine sniper team, which I recently acquired to enhance my Ambush Alley/ CR 3.0 games. I really love the Pig's stuff and will continue to support them; I now have one of their recently released  Humvees to further supplement my forces...however at time of typing it remains in its package...





Finally, a few action shots from a recent CR 3.0 skirmish game (Ilove their mechanics); I suppose man-to-man combat has always been my favourite mode of (battle) play...


There you go, then, quick and cheerful - I seem to have solved the 'Blogger issue' too, now I have downloaded Google Chrome...hmmm, conspiracy after all, methinks...


Regards,


Monty

    Monty,
    They look great! What colors do you use for your late war Germans?

    Thanks chaps, very kind as ever!
    Steve, I use AP Strong Tone dip (brushed) on all my figures, coupled with some heavy dry-brushing prior to application. I like the grimy look it gives and wanted this in particular for the Germans, whom I wanted 'battle-hardened' ;)
    Regards,
    Monty
