Well, a new range for them. <\/a>Consisting of three sets (and two freebies), this range appears (based on comments on the news post) to be a re-release of a previous range. Unusually for TAG, these are sculpted by eBob and stand a little smaller than most modern figures. However, they present an alternative option for players wanting to play the Chinese for the mid 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1420\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/39515155_2096191130646227_4329426608889790464_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/39515155_2096191130646227_4329426608889790464_o.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/39515155_2096191130646227_4329426608889790464_o-150x104.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"http:\/\/dwartist.blogspot.com\/2018\/08\/im-running-out-of-superlatives-for.html\">Picture from Dwartist&#8217;s Painting Blog<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dwsmodels\/posts\/2096191347312872?__xts__[0]=68.ARAvfsJeiRvITN0pOYsOnB78bSh3I6U5Z2ChenpWqUSToF3Qd3pvpNEmt6jjb-UOwZuHvsRNuGpFdYYxMe236v3mGsOoAZuXeTJMeXdJpyHE-Y5xiWwdsf9JKQ4LfjVjR9KYWaqajsRn&amp;__tn__=C-R\">The White Dragon Miniatures quad bikes are getting closer.

It took me a while to get all the figures based up (the bikes and carts causing problems) and then they have sat for months waiting for me to sit down and add the basing material. Having a slow evening I broke out the extended version of Gladiator, a box of sand and started applying the PVA glue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m also carrying on painting the Russians &#8211; I just have to remind myself how to paint SURPAT.
