If they were a bit cheaper I'd make all my wargames armies AB.<br />Glad you liked the basing, the trick I find is to use layers of colours that are actually derived from natural pigments, like raw umber, raw sienna & yellow ochre.

Excellent selection and if I also may say (not wanting to lose the point, the basing is really fantastic. Unless someone is a modeller, you simply can't say if they are based, or they are fighting on their own battlegound. :)Thanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118234316094270027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-68531496362383163482013-03-16T22:51:24.335+11:002013-03-16T22:51:24.335+11:00Google chrome seems to work okay, the ipad coming ...Google chrome seems to work okay, the ipad coming from a rival company...Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666481879639671282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-77240546038790997892013-03-16T20:56:54.804+11:002013-03-16T20:56:54.804+11:00Vast amounts on internet re- 25pdrs but basically ...Vast amounts on internet re- 25pdrs but basically the 'Jock Columns' of flying anti-tank groups in the WD found the 25pdr needed a muzzle break for the 20lb AP round. It was fitted in 1942. This is a fabulous example of a) a 25pdr, Quad and crew, b) a modelling, painting and basing job and c) terrific pictures.
