if you could see me now i am on my knees bowing down to the master of DPM. they are great, i am about to order figures etc later. as mentioned earlier the helmet is a DPM cover and last if your are painting a figure from the past 10 years the webbing is also DPM.
ok next question (am i annoying you yet) can you tell me your supplier for your paint?

I bought the cheapo acrylics from a discount book store, they were 4.99 pounds for a box of about 20 different colours. The Citadel paints and Tamyia I bought in "Hobbycraft", which is a chain of craft/hobby shops shops. Citadel can also be bought in most good model shops, or the Gamesworkshop outlets. Tamyia paints are available widely in model shops. This company does both enamels and acrylics and they look alike in the pots, so you need to check when you buy just to make sure.
Hope that answers your qusetion.

I was in the Ordinance Corp, driver first class after 3 years, driving instructor for 2 years and then transferred to a field force regiment for 2 years and then came back as a instructor for the new sprogs coming into the Army. Left as a full screw, corporal to them who do not know what that is.
Oh how i still miss the meaning of true friends when i was in.
Now Bob as a instructor for new recruits if one of my men came on parade in them i would say very good excellent but "GET YOUR AR.. IN THE MUD AND MAKE THEM LOOK OLD YOU HORRIBLE G…"
So yes they are excellent too good for my new sprogs, well done.

What a fantastic attention to detail and the end result (the 2nd attempt) is just amazing. Brilliant colouring. Looking forward to seeing the whole of the 8th Army being brought up to date !!!

I have enough of camouflage for the time being - back to railway stuff for me. All that squiggly stuff hurts my eyes

I think your figures look great. I particularly like the REME team. They should look excellent when all grouped in a diorama on your layout.

Like Bob, I think the last couple of shots could be stills from a film - brilliant.
