Love them; the finished battle will be stunning :)

Those foot pegs look good for holding whilst painting :-\
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Unless everyone else on the project can paint as well as that your figures are going to show them up something rotten. Still, not your problem.....

I thought about that but actually the variations might make it look more real :-\

Thanks all for the kind words

The foot pegs are a bugger to hold, round and smooth >:(

Selecting which figures to group together is going to be "fun" ;) but I think the variations will add to 'realism'

Still waiting for my next batch of figures to arrive  :-w

Apparently they were held up by Customs so there are frustrated painted all over the country  >:(

My 10mm Ottomans are pleased I've had some time to spend on them ;)

Looks like Nobby's terrorist packages prophecy has come true ;)

I'm annoyed for you though; really good watching the progress of these :)

Mu contribution to this project: chatting with Alan and Michael Perry at the Hamburger Tactica convention, thus keeping them from working on the next batch of figures.  :D

But seriously, it was nice to see these for real, and some of the stuff they were working on looked very promising. But they all agreed that it's a mammoth project, that's keeping them busy for quite some time.

No, it isn't. There were plenty of people taking the opportunity to have a chat.

Didn't really expect it to be you, that would have been too much of a coincidence ;)
Picture was posted on the project forum

Delays by Customs mean a number of us in Wellington still have no figures to paint >:(
Only 33 days left till every thing has to be painted  :!!

After picking my wife up from work she asked if we could pop round to a friends' place. I agreed and noticed cars parked at the local school :-\

After we visited the friends I was 'allowed' to pop into the school to confirm my suspicion that it was a meeting of the Hutt Miniature Wargames Club. They meet there on second and fourth Saturdays.  :)

The coordinator for our painting team was there  :) with more 54mm figures :D

I have now got 20 more figures :D :D

I cleaned up the 10 kneeling firing figures (sorry FSN) while listening to the NZ v Australia cricket game  :D :D :D

Just to show that they were actually doing some work too. When they weren't chatting, or playing games.
