Back to doing some work - at last I can hear some of you say.
Working on the figures, both the tank crew and officers and also the engineers.  If you look at the page from the Osprey book, they will be based on crewmen of Trotsky's armoured train - dressed in red leather. The engineers will be like I was boiler suits and scrufffffyyyyyyy  hohohho
Most of the figures are the ones you gave me Zak, so a big thank you for that.  So if Howard complains its all your fault hohohoh

Thanks - yes just lots of rust and bits and bobs on the figures.
Think I shall have a change and do some filling and smoothing on the "Hunt for Red October" sub.
