I didn't make 'Salute' this year and so missed their big launch, but I'm quite interested.<BR/><BR/>The metal character figures that acompany the set really catch my eye though and I may place an order or two when thay settle down a bit. I love the Centurion based on Angus McBrides Osprey illustation, he's a must for my collection.The scope for conversions is endless with spare heads and weapons, we will have to see. Watch this space I suppose.Secundushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03315796155081335530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24362308.post-13412978814451398482008-05-02T10:54:00.000+01:002008-05-02T10:54:00.000+01:00Superb blog!

How wide are the bases?<BR/><BR/>For brown paint, have you tried looking for acrylic/latex mis-tints from a local hardware (builders' [?]) shop?<BR/><BR/>Over time, I have acquired all manner of sand and earth colours in one litre tins, for the equivalent of 1.50 GBP each.<BR/><BR/>Failing that, if you were to bring in a sample, I expect that they could match it closely enough in household acrylic or latex paint.<BR/><BR/>Note that a sample of actual paint should be easier to match - I had once tried getting a match to a photograph in a magazine, but the dots in the printed image really threw the scanner off. In the end, I had to match by eye and sample chip.<BR/><BR/>Ave!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
