I do put a few tufts of grass on my Crimean figures though as it sets them off well against the brown base. I also use a different table colour for the Crimea to represent the arid nature of the terrain.Bob The Old Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799920263660656268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-13303767035992935672019-01-25T00:15:47.088-08:002019-01-25T00:15:47.088-08:00A very nice looking unit Bob...

As for the horses they are very nicely proportioned.

I now can't see why I bothered as they look better plain! Seeing Bob's figures (and t the photos in Charles Grant's book) it sets off the glossy paint jobs nicely.

I certainly favor old school plain style basing- as it tends to not interrupt the enjoyment of the delightfully painted figures- where the emphasis should be. Well done. Regards. KEV.KEV.
