I hope that he does not equip them with Foo gas for any that get by the automatic weapons... :twisted: :lol:

An intersting idea, but one that I'm reluctant to explore because I'm pretty sure the local Chief of Police lives directly across the street from me. :evil:

Foo gas aside, there's no restriction on gnomes with automatic weapons as long as they have the proper permit, which indeed they do. :twisted:

So today I added a MM Flat Gull Gray wash to Carlos and Helmut's beards and eyebrows. I built two tripod legs for the M2 as these were missing when my gnomes arrived. The leftover dowel I used to do this will serve another purpose for this build later on . . . but what exactly that purpose is will remain a secret for now. :twisted: Finally, I glued on Helmut's M16 and hand:

Ok, so here's Carlos sitting in the sun with some ammo, a painted tripod, and some Mig dark wash in the uniform folds. He'll be even happier when I attach his barrel. :)

Now all you need is some of these for them to use as target practice.
