Stuff and Nonsense

Since finishing the Stalingrad project, I have not really had much time to do any painting. I am currently working away in Ware, Hertfordshire, excavating a Roman cemetery.

I have had these figures sat about for a few years and I thought it was about time I started work on the team. This guy was a tester for the colours:
