Old friend
Consulted this old friend whilst painting yesterday-
No cookery book could be considered good without obligatory splashes of oil and sauce on its pages (and perhaps a grain of rice stuck somewhere); so too, no good wargames painting guide will be short of some honourable paint spots..
What a wonderful way of putting it Maudlin! The marks will be from when I painted my Hinchcliffe Muscovites ( long gone sadly) many , many moons ago. Alan Tradgardland
I’ll second that! I remember being hooked by the first article of the series in the Airfix Mag. He sold me on the exotic there and then. Alan Tradgardland

Good old 'Renaissance Armies': still got my copy that was a school prize in about 1978, and would not part with it!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful prize. I wouldn’t part with mine either. Such a glorious primer.
