I’m back sculpting for the next Arnhem Kickstarter. Based on photos including flak crewman with Luftwaffe Sports jumper. Crews also for captured jeep, Kubel and Schwimwagon. #chainofcommand #boltaction #28mmww2

Beautiful stuff Paul - your skill shows, as always.

I have a copy of HotAC v0.7 Beta from 2015 sitting on my disk, if that's of any use? I think it's complete...

110 in a month! I'm not sure I paint that many in a normal year!

They look great too πŸ‘

Night of 16th-17th May 1943. Lancasters of 617 Squadron attacked the MΓΆhne, Eder and Sorpe dams using the innovative β€˜bouncing’ Upkeep mine. That story has been covered many times, but much less well known is the later development of a similar German bomb, codenamed β€˜Kurt’.

They're all lovely but I particularly like your Beaufort - loads of character! All the best to you πŸ‘

Fair enough :) Thanks!

If your 1st Ed is showing any wear, I'd say that's justification to get the new one :)

I'm always intrigued when you post WIP shots of your wizardry - can I ask why you use foil here instead of more putty?

I own, and love, the original Twilight Struggle but this new art is seriously tempting...

Thanks, I'm a glacially slow painter so good to know I'm doing something right with the time!

Picked up a brush for the first time in ages. Napoleonics are still quite new to me and I'm not totally sure the colours are right but they're certainly fun to paint :)

Yes, homebrewing something is always an option, I guess. And thanks, shall give Spectre a look. I do like a bit of the sneaky sneaky stuff :)

I do like the stealth/guard system of Black Ops. I've not played the others, do they have anything similar?

I'm intrigued about the engineering required to hold that thing in that position πŸ˜‰

I have made my Great Escape from occupied Twitter-land and crossed the Alps to reach the Bluesky.

Anyway, here's some figures I painted recently.
