Been a while since the last update...

Lots of stuff been painted, most of it commission stuff that I can't really show off, but there are a few things I can put on here.

First off, the cover to this month's Wargames Soldiers and Strategy magazine. Theme is the thirty years war. In the magazine I wax lyrical about how I made it. And also manage to sneak in the phrases "bang tidy" and "oosh". Well done me. And well done Editor Guy for letting me.

Next is a figure bought from the Ainsty stand at a show a while back. It is a Kevin White(Hasslefree) sculpt for the Frothers Unite website's charity. Great figure, great cause. I painted her up as a John Carter on Mars-esque warrior princess. Hence the red skintone.

Recent Painting

Hasslefree.

Heresy Miniatures Not The War Doctor.

Infinty. Some sort of pilot.

Statuesque. Resistance Officer.

These are all the products of me testing out brushes. Rosemary & Co series 33 are the winners, with an honorable mention for Escoda 1212. Though if you want to spend the money a good Windsor & Newton series 7 beats them all.

Guards Guards...

My most recent commission. Terry Pratchett's Ankh Morpork City Watch. Figures and bases are from Micro Arts studio.

Captain Vimes

Angua

Carrot

Sgt Colon

Nobby Nobbs

Gendarmes d'Elite

I did these for Perry Miniatures and they have just released them in their web shop if you need to buy them.

Loved painting these. Fantastic Uniforms the Gendarmerie.

Back in the game...

Harold and his bros.

Taking painting commissions again...This lot was done for the lovely Gripping Beast boys.

8th Army Group Shot

Perry plastic 8th army. Four down, lots to go.....

A Better Picture of the Agema Roman

Had a play with the camera and I'm not going to pretend it was anything I didn't read on the internet but I found that lighting the figure with a daylight desk lamp from the front (and not using the flash), and keeping a decent distance away from the figure and using the macro setting but not zooming gives a crisper, better depth of field.

Rather than replace the old picture I have left it on to show the difference.
