This is special service they provide, but charge a small surplus. I have used this for my own Kallistra Hexon terrain, and the half-hexes come in handy to fill up the half-gaps around the board.Phil Dutréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607941040736764291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-50118562255854191532015-02-12T20:31:19.722+00:002015-02-12T20:31:19.722+00:00Sean,

I am going to gloss varnish the figures and paint the bases Humbrol matt 'Grass Green' to give the whole collection an Old School 'look'.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-10676942734435281272015-02-11T18:08:42.860+00:002015-02-11T18:08:42.860+00:00Looks good.
