It was also very therapeutic building them and so after the painting is finished on all 50 I shall enjoy planning the next building project.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-39404453232985258192011-05-25T19:35:31.022+01:002011-05-25T19:35:31.022+01:00Well done - nice to see them turn out so well.Well done - nice to see them turn out so well.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-77990728654556692452011-05-22T22:04:24.265+01:002011-05-22T22:04:24.265+01:00Hi Paul of the Man Cave,

Sorry for the deluge of emails re MoW - my head has been spinning with ideas and all the while much of what I needed to use for reference was in two other sets of rules I have in my collection....;-)<br /><br />That will teach to read attachments much sooner and no mistake!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-60273175187183054512011-05-22T17:53:34.393+01:002011-05-22T17:53:34.393+01:00Hurrah!

I like the flags on the bases as it makes for easy identification and is much easier than having them on the model!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-85453234079103624832011-05-22T15:36:43.323+01:002011-05-22T15:36:43.323+01:00Hi Peter,

All of my previous naval collections have used painted card for the bases.<br /><br />Swampy bayous? Funny you should mention that....I have a cunning plan....;-)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-17194522165730723322011-05-22T15:30:01.900+01:002011-05-22T15:30:01.900+01:00These are looking very nice indeed!

The bases are effective too.<br /><br />Now they just need some bayous to prowl!<br /><br />PDPeter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.com
