Here you can talk about whatever floats your boat. Your favorite movie, sports team, etc. If it's a little racey, I suggest you post in R&R, otherwise we'll move it for you.

Thanks for the positive feed-back guys. This is the first time I have shown my figures to anybody but family.
(I get a good review from them, but you would, that’s the law).
I have started a Union Firing Line but with other commitments (Family, Playing SOW, Work) I haven’t got very far.
When I have some of them finished to a suitable level I will post some “work in progress” pictures.
Thanks again.

Approximately 150hrs over a six month period. From assembling the figures to final basing.

I haven’t kept a note of how many I have replaced over that period.
I use very good quality artist brushes. Winsor & Newton, Series 7.
They keep their tip well if they are kept clean and last for a really long time.
