Re: GZG Official: Another request for photos...

textfilter: chose text/plain from a multipart/alternative

Hi Jon, I was just working on my set of Colonial Defense infantry -
probably need another night to put on the finishing touches. I'm not
sure
if my painting skills are up to the necessary "professional" level, but
I
can send you some pictures when I'm finished.

I'm guessing that they should be shot in some sort of terrain - I'll
have
to see what I can do - most of my good terrain is elsewhere right now. I
might just have to take them outside and play with them in the dirt :)
