Disclaimer - New to campaigns, so not sure what to do.
If you visit my gallery and look at the latest, the pics of my entry are the M4a3 Sherman 105. I gave it a snowy wash and was trying for a Battle of the Bulge look.
I didn't add figures because, frankly, I suck at doing figures. I still need practice. Should I post the pics in here?
Please advise/admonish accordingly.

Hi Hiram,
Great work on the armor. Don't let "sucking" as you put it, hold you back on the figures. Just jump in and keep practicing! I am sure you may be too critical of yourself in this regard. Even if your results don't live up to your expectations, I am sure you will learn something on each attempt.

Hi Mike.... checked out your photos... nice work.
I think there is a gallery for the finished pieces to be posted in.
but leader would be better able to answer that., try PMing him.
As for the figure painting, don't abandon ship yet.... it's all practice, practice, practice...... the more you do, the better you get.

Yeah, but...waaaaah!!
They don't look human!
Here is my prob...I have a short attention span ( I wonder who the Eagles will be playing in the playoffs.)
and I need to buy a book on figure painting and have it open while I paint because I forget most of the good stuff on this website.

I do not recall that an Ardennes Offensive gallery has been set up yet but eventually you will want to get it into that gallery so Shonen won't have to hunt them down in the personal galleries.
Don't worry, it will still show up in your personal gallery as well

Looking good Mike. As the others have said practice makes perfect. I "suck" at figures but keep trying. Do the figures and post them in the figure threads and I bet that you will have a lot of the guys there helping you.
