I should have mentioned these here when we first did them but forgot! A couple of video reviews of what are now not new pieces by WB, but you might want to take a look anyway if you haven't seen/got the models already - and also to have a chuckle at my poor presenter abilities. I do not expect a...

Some of you who are also in the Little Wars DG may have already seen these, but there are some photos of WIP and finished figures I have just done at http://s654.photobucket.com/user/MikeBlake/library/Mamlukes. These must be some of, if not the, best figures Italeri did - really nice sculpts...

First batch up at http://photobucket.com/USMC-AES. These are the Assault Engineer Squad with support weapons.

This are rather old, ie they were done years ago, and appeared in Military Modelling magazine, but I have only just gotten around to up-loading them. They were fun to do, and I love the Conte figures, thought the rubbery plastic was a pain to clean up. http://photobucket.com/US-Paras-WWII
