I did the following back in 2004, and they placed in the MOAB painting competition that year for Historical Unit (I think).</div><div><br /></div><div>Armed Archaeologists:</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/SkEA8PyP6DI/AAAAAAAAAZs/-lQ1hvhCBVw/s1600-h/bob_armed_archaeologists.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/SkEA8PyP6DI/AAAAAAAAAZs/-lQ1hvhCBVw/s400/bob_armed_archaeologists.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350558867322300466" border="0" /></a><div>American Adventurers:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/SkEA76E1i-I/AAAAAAAAAZk/JeAlfaFHri0/s1600-h/bob_americans.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/SkEA76E1i-I/AAAAAAAAAZk/JeAlfaFHri0/s400/bob_americans.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350558861494684642" border="0" /></a>Paelontologist and fossils:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sj-o5433OKI/AAAAAAAAAZA/fSdzs5Aa-tg/s1600-h/bob_archaeologist.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sj-o5433OKI/AAAAAAAAAZA/fSdzs5Aa-tg/s400/bob_archaeologist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350180594812139682" border="0" /></a>British Officers:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sj-o5kXKZfI/AAAAAAAAAY4/lamRqSZEQDY/s1600-h/bob_british.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sj-o5kXKZfI/AAAAAAAAAY4/lamRqSZEQDY/s400/bob_british.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350180589306275314" border="0" /></a>German Mercenaries:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sj-o5VluD5I/AAAAAAAAAYw/u1yGjIb5UiE/s1600-h/bob_germans.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8PeDI3Up5Lg/Sj-o5VluD5I/AAAAAAAAAYw/u1yGjIb5UiE/s400/bob_germans.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350180585340800914" border="0" /></a>These were painted with a simple wash/layer approach.
