Well there are times when I feel like I’m a trainer at one of our Army recruits training centers. Every so often, a new batch of freshly assembled minis would pass through..
So on Monday, a new batch of BAM Brits came through the door, and I started by getting them into uniform and basic flesh tones:
I actually managed to get ahead of myself by putting down a layer of black for the webbings. Normally those go on the second day.
