Nice Oliver - good to see those Pendraken's getting wider usage - I've been threatening to get round to this for ages - and you might have just 'nudged' me Wink

Very cool - I look forward to seeing more of these; something that *is* interesting is that the Skytrex model doesn't appear to be out-of-scale with these...this certainly isn't the case with Skytrex WW2 stuff where their "10mm" is tiny in comparison to Pendraken...

Cheers nik, glad i am the one doing the nudging for once Grin I must say they are a joy to paint.

No it doesn't appear too bad if i am honest, i aim to get the last 6 stands of regulars painted today as well as a Ural or two so hopefully more pictures.

Well that's the infantry all varnished now just got to leave them over night and decide on how to base them.

Also does anyone know if the Pandraken British Airborne have Berets?

Not many of them - have a look here: http://nikharwood.pbworks.com/BKC+British+Airbo...

Best packs for berets:

BR15 Airborne Officers
BR83 Combat engineers [not Airborne but the minesweeper's got the beret]
BR98 'Monty' [he's got a beret!]
BR105 Arnhem special command group

Dunno if these'd be useful too:
BR55 Riflemen Slouch Hat
BR56 Sten Slouch Hat
BR57 Bren Slouch Hat
BR107 Commandos mixed weapons

Thanks for the comparison pics too - I'm not *entirely* convinced, but it might be because you've not painted them yet

The Commandos (BR107) is probably the best pack for combat troops in berets, two advancing poses, one with rifle one with sten.

The BR105 Arnhem command group only has the radio op in a beret (but they are nice figures!)
