I've posted some pictures on my page. Go to
http://www.voicenet.com/~johncrim/Cammo.html
and then go to Forrest/Jungle Camo. The miniatures pictured are at the
very bottom of the page: three Ral Partha figures, and a single
Grenadier
model that I'm not sure about. The scans are pretty awful, though --
fair
warning.
Actually, the pages as a whole are pretty awful, and I'm going to
probably
start overhauling them this weekend. I think that I need to do a proper
gallery page, and to see what I can do about improving the pictures.
Plus,
maybe I can spell "camo" correctly this time around....
