Very nice. Like the basing. Do you paint the figures first then base them or go you fix them to the base and then paint? I've tried both methods and each has its benefits and pitfalls.
One of these days I will get to my one Fallshirmjager platoon still in its blister... but for now there are Hungarians, the 2nd Household Cavalary, and some US to do.

Very nice. Like the basing. Do you paint the figures first then base them or go you fix them to the base and then paint? I've tried both methods and each has its benefits and pitfalls.
Looks great.
One of these days I will get to my one Fallshirmjager platoon still in its blister... but for now there are Hungarians, the 2nd Household Cavalary, and some US to do.
I paint the figures first and then put them on the bases.
