The horror...the horror. I think I nearl...Painting. The horror...the horror. I think I nearly lost it painting 18 woodland dpm 82nd Airborne; the SEALs in tiger stripe were a doddle. As I told Mark, I was getting convinced the Sarge figure for the 82nd was looking increasingly annoyed with me as I went along.....<br /><br />As Mark said in a previous post - there is a lot of figure nostalgia in all this. I had some Hotspur Grenada stuff the first time round as well as Pltn20 'Nam figures. I remember reading a friends copy of Recon and just wanting to play it. Bakonga goes back to a copy of "Mercenary" my Mum bought me when I was in school - then "Dogs of War", "Firepower" and "Despatches" leads me to Pltn 20s Nam range....incidemtly, I just found an audio CD of "Despatches" on Amazon. I'll let you know what its like....<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />MaffMaster Chefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690131777600341387.post-36596312741558744642012-05-28T22:03:45.479+01:002012-05-28T22:03:45.479+01:00Ah but your figures are inspirational Rusty and we...Ah but your figures are inspirational Rusty and well worth the wait.<br /><br />Cheers<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835446049246785287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690131777600341387.post-87472027731561181032012-05-28T17:48:14.777+01:002012-05-28T17:48:14.777+01:00Wow Mark, You have yourself a prolifically epic &...Wow Mark, You have yourself a prolifically epic "in-tray!"
