The crew getting lectured is a particular favorite too.<br />Basing is a chore I agree. I usually focus on making the ground look like suitable dirt. I really miss GW graveyard earth. I replaced that with devlin mud which is okay, but really muddy in color, it does complement the flock and static grass really well though. <br />I like to vary the height a bit too with patches of bare earth and taller static grass clumps. I've really got to get some of those tufts Curt and the others use, the right combos really pop the minis.david bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373599516429004062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-74439153219984130382016-01-10T02:00:33.723-06:002016-01-10T02:00:33.723-06:00Wow, I am amazed at th primitive and crazy nature ...Wow, I am amazed at th primitive and crazy nature of some of these weapons - I wonder what the life expectancy of the gunners was like?
