What is this "reality" thing of which you speak?     

And is it catching?!

Imperial purple isn't far from the wrapping of a certain chocolate bar.  The Cadbury Lancers, or possibly the Bourneville Yeomanry.    A whole new field of Whiffery beckons.

A Quaker Infantry regiment? Advancing with the Word of God in hand?

I've always associated Bourneville with a dark red colour

You are correct, but I was thinking of the place not the dark chocolate.

Mmm...chocolate

the Vans done  it got a quick coat of blue, and wile its a lot darker than the other 2 it`l do 

43 figures  4 models and 5 bits of scenery.

still doing ok on the infantry and the chally2  slow enjoyed progress is progress.

all 12 current infantry are finished to the point of waiting  for the flock to dry.  so they can be varnished later tonight or tomorrow 

55 figures  4 models and 5 bits of scenery

im now assembling one of the GPMG SF  teams https://www.empressminiatures.com/baor4-british-infantry-with-fixed-mount-gpmg-2314-p.asp
it is a thing of beauty in  itself, and watchlike in in its construction  ,  but is rather more bits than  id like the crew are 2 one part figures ( spotter and No2) the gunner has a separate arm, not a major problem,  the body of the GPMG is one part,  the tripod base is one part and the legs are each separate, 5 parts for the gun...     ( to give an idea of size the GPMG body is 3/4 of an inch long)   and the ammo can and belt are a separate single piece, 
im am going to end up superglueing my fingers to this one if im not careful 

does any one know a dealer / modelshop with a decent range of the PLATZ  range?,  im after one or more of very specific F-15J models they do.   the white dragon, and the mountain art versions.  Google has been less than helpful, the link it gives via Britmodeler goes to a shop that dosn`t seen to have any on their site.

i know that 2bobs did the white dragon as a decal pack but despite trying to find it for i wile ive turned up empty.
