British paratroopers ready for painting

Just finished texturing the base on my air landing company ready for Pegasus bridge.  Inspired by GW texture paint, but alarmed to pay silly money for a small pot, a quick trip to the craft store got some thick brown acrylic (£1.25 for a 500ml bottle) and some sand.  Instant cheap textured paint lol.

This was applied to the base to hide the models individual bases. If needs be, I will add more texture when this is dry.  Models have been base coated English Uniform and are ready for me to start with the camo.
