I have a lot of book reviews still to finish off, and more material to post (as regards scenarios and the like). All in good time, I'm sure. But you should know, without the support from you, and loads of bloggers, painters and gamers like you, I'd never have got out of the starting gate. So, thanks very much, Ben - I really appreciate it!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-68100453196488816232014-09-22T10:55:27.533+01:002014-09-22T10:55:27.533+01:00Alex, thanks so much, mate.

But honestly, whatever I've done has been inspired by wargaming modellers like you and so many other bloggers.

Then, when dry, you can paint and dry brush the ground cover. After that, I added the "leaves" (gluing them down with PVA), and the grass tufts. Then paint the leaves and dry brush the grass tufts and you're done. Honestly, it is pretty easy - just do a step at a time and your Devil Dogs will look great!

Captain Moreau looks great, I love the black leather effect and the map is very well done also.<br />This whole project has been amazing mate, exceptional quality and put together with a real artist's eye. You've created a work of art, and as Silver Whistle said, the envy of anyone with even a passing interest in the era. Thanks for sharing, and for providing all the little extra odds and sods like the painting guides and book reviews. I can't wait to see what you do with the Tirailleurs Sénégalais. <br />BenBen Fiene (Ansbachdragoner)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07179069100382179511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-91051483036990443032014-09-20T10:22:24.965+01:002014-09-20T10:22:24.965+01:00absolutely worth every minute of the work!
