Did he bring a special plank of wood with him for taping minis down?
No that was provided by the team, I did bring some paint sticks so I could speed up my batch paining @lawnor
Ah ok. Its interesting seeing what stuff people bring as they feel they can’t hobby without it.
Not that I can’t live without the vast majority but when you have a finite time anything that speeds the process is worth its weight in gold.
Definitely. Hence my interest.
What kind of tape is being used? It looks like masking tape, but must be double sided?
Simple double sided tape from a hobbycraft store @bungo
will the other nations reseve mascot animals to? that bear who made it onto a badge would be the most obvious choice
Yeah, I would totally buy a Wojtek figure!
And not a “pulpy” flight of fancy.

Double sided tape? Nice idea
Why thank you kind sir, best way I know to not catapult your minis across the yard when you hit them with a rattle can ??
Again nice progress.
I do like the radio operator miniature, could make a nice little dioramic base for him
Stop prepping and get painting!
IN PROGRESS
Amazing what the bootcampers have done in such a short time
Blimey there are some quick painters over there.
I am impressed with how quickly each army comes together.
Also, how can people get paint on so many models in so little time?
Great progress with the building and painting
If I was there – but sadly not 🙁 – I would be priming, basing and shading and detailing between games. excellent work gents
The DAK are looking good!
I’m loving the Radio man’s monkey.
the mini with the monkey looks really nice
Looking at the Bren Carriers I’m sure Warlord had some pictures of some new metal 8th Army Crew made for the carriers. Can’t find the picture now tho 🙁
I trust @oriskany is patrolling the assembly to ensure accuracy.
Half these hobbyists know more than me – at least about the particular units they’re setting out to recreate.
Some very nice stuff here … love the radio set with the monkey
Attention.
I love the monkey 🙂
I like the double sided tape. I use blue tack myself. Man I just love that little British troupe transport model.
These look really good. Really liking these sculpts.
Quite a bit of work getting done.
Awesome progress!
