So ...I find blogging dies off for me in the summer. So much stuff to do! If I'm lucky I get restarted in the early fall.....no such luck this year. I can empathize with you about needing to choose a color for the empire force.....one of the hardest parts of the job in my mind. I eventually went with Nordland, blue and tan/yellow. I'm not a huge fan of black painting (too much highlighting or too hard to see) and red (it gets a lot of use in accent colors for me already) so that considerably reduces your options. davebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388984554120334644.post-91899402084778449192023-08-21T12:26:17.621-07:002023-08-21T12:26:17.621-07:00Very cool idea with the pox walkers!Very cool idea with the pox walkers!Doppelbockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607830076855263677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388984554120334644.post-45644007370061339992023-03-07T14:45:58.593-08:002023-03-07T14:45:58.593-08:00Great help!

In retrospect, the earlier plastic ones were really characterful, even if their posing was goofy to the max.
