Order arrived-now to paint them!?

A?

[Ithoriel]

Isn't Algebra like a news service or something?

You must be thinking of that newsreader. You know, Mr and Mrs Jazeera's boy, Al.

That's what it is, Mike (and here was me thinking it was Biggles' pal, Algy).

p.s. Not so sure about the slashes and dashes, Bill (sounds more European Continental than British to me).

1 part olive oil, 1 part Fairy Liquid, two parts gin.

Sum cocktail!   

Isn't that the recipe for a Bloody Nobby?

Sounds horrific.

This is bloody pointless - if you prefer underscale buildings use them, if not use the others ( but remember to have about 650 figures in your battalion).

Here, here!  

... er ... I mean .... hear, hear!

Hello Carl

Haha love it Mr Grouch. Yes I probably agree that when I see a 15mm house being used with 20mm figures I feel sick....I know what you mean. Any good resin 10mm scenery that I may have missed?

Not resin but Tomytec makes plastic kit Japanese N scale (1/150) building that can be used with suitable modifications. Japanese thatched farms are close in appearance to Russian if you squint




They're particularly handy for 20th century industrial




I get them from Plaza Japan eBay

Otherwise there are Kestrel (British style buildings, plastic kit) and Metcalfe (British style, die cut card)

The buildings all look amazing! I painted the first couple of bases (I will attempt to post some pics later) and it has been a strange experience!

Firstly there is far more detail than I thought....lots more.

Also now that I have started I realise that I need more figures than I had planned for.

I have not developed a method for faces yet...I am starting to understand some of the comments about some of the painters on here now!!!

The jury is out but 10mm is certainly quick to paint but recognisable on the tabletop. This is such a change of pace from 28mm that it is a bit of a shock, I am actually going to be able to get gaming again-I kept glancing at the bookcase with Black Powder and DBM sat on the shelves....

Now, that sounds familiar ! 

Look forward to seeing some piccies, Carl.
Just take your time and enjoy.

Hi,

A quick update! The infantry are done, 3 companies of 3 stands of 3 figures.
Two HMG's and two artillery pieces....for me it is a very strange scale. Please go easy these are my first 10mm. Whoever said use a lighter palette was very very right. Highlights have to be a lot lighter or they do not show up.

I have no idea how to post a picture on here....and getting a picture at all was fun! If anyone has a "how to" link I will put a coule of snaps on here, thanks
