In between coughing and spluttering for the past month or so (and indeed for a few weeks before) I have been pootling away at some 6mm stuff. The majority of it has been for the good comrade Noakes, it took me ages to do a Soviet force for him as I was trying to ‘get’ drybrushing and wanted to make sure that I didn’t ruin them. I’ve been quite pleased with the results and here are some pics (models are all GHQ).
Unfortunately having painted these up my own collection now looks a bit shite so the next month or so will be spent re-doing them. This will just mean a wash and drybrush for most models but some are being stripped down to start again – I bought some 99% Rubbing Alcohol to do this with, trying it out now and will report how it goes – but all of them will be re-based as I want to start using the Baccus basing grit/sand to add some texture.

Hi, liking the paint work. In terms of adding texture to bases I use either play sand or railway modelling ballast. Both work with PVA and flock; and the play sand is dirt(!) cheap.

Cheers mate! I’ve got some of the Bacchus basing material and their Foundation Wash, did start on it but have been banjaxed by another cold this past week so on hold at moment until I stop coughing again.
By the way, will be emailing you my orders in a bit and was wondering if ok to add to the blog as the battle develops?
