I've actually made some progess!

I wasn't expecting this. Somehow over night I've managed to paint the rest of my starter box and base them. Managed to widen the hole of the flying stand enough to get the peg in a bit and stuff it with superglue.

Both Condor's are painted and the infantry done with squad markings on the base (red and blue). Decided on that sort of grass for the base because my uncle gave me a tub full and it makes the models stand out.

TIP: When painting infantry don't go into detail. It's not worth it. They're too small for it to be appreciated. All I've done is infantry in grey, guns in black and wash. That's it.
