Nice work! Now all I have to do is start base coating 160 trousers, 160 smocks, berets, helmets, equipment the list goes on. Damn I should have gone for tanks!!!

Thank you, but they had to be stripped! I purity sealed them and they went white!!! Thanks GW ( I thought they sorted this out? But I guess not) anyone know of any good spray varnish? I wish you luck with all 160 figures, all that infantry will look great on the table when they done. I have worked out a few list and try as I might at least 2 Tigers keep making their way in! Well, what's a German army without Tigers?

Mannstein Kommt! At last reinforcements to drive the British back into the sea. Your grenadiers look spot on by the way, and those Tigers will put the fear of God into that British Armour, with or without their re rolls for misses. Looking forward to seeing more.

Hasten Sie schnell, wir kommen! Thank you for the compliment, shame they had to be stripped, but I'm over it (he says twitching). When I found out macca was doing British airborne it would be rude not to do some German armour! And nothing says German armour like Tigers. So I'm doing the 19th SS Panzergrenadiers with 9th SS Panzer Regiment support. Bridge to far anyone? I'm away this week but will get cracking when I get home, pictures will hopefully follow shortly.

Arnhem sounds like a plan I'd be up for that. With the luck I'm having at the moment though Macca's paratroopers would probably take the bridge and be on their way to Berlin!

Me and Macca were discussing doing some scenery with a bridge, I have a plan... And Like so many plans it started off simple and now has bridges, houses and factories joined by a railway!!! Why oh why do I think of these things?

Don't know if it helps but I'm sure battlefront did a campaign around Arnhem.

They do, it's 2 books that come together in a lovely cardboard folder. They did the same for D day. Budget permitting I might just get them...

OOOOh! Those tigers look lovely! I think I will need more gammon bombs and piats! I have both of the D-Day books in the lovely sleeve so if any one wants a peek at a German army list or for some scenarios, just let me know.

Thank you. Sorry, bit misleading, I only have one at the moment, but will get another, also in support I will the 3 Stugs from the starter set and am looking at some armoured recon. Are you going to be there Friday? If so can you please bring them books? It will help me decide if I'm gonna get the Market Garden ones.

Vielen Dank I'm pleased with it. www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=3413The above link takes you to the flames of war page, click on the stug painting video, it basically how I do it. I use Tamiya TS-3 spray for the yellow and XF 64 and XF10 for the brown. XF62 and XF58 for the green, but you can use any desert yellow, green and browns.
