The Shiny And The Dull

 First up the shiny, the guard escort for the Byzantine emperor, a couple of shots prior to the shields being applied and obscuring a lot of Adams fine details and another with their shields attached flanking the emperor in a possible configuration on the base.





Figures Aventine Miniatures with LBMS shield transfers and banner, modified to fit.

 Now for the dull and drab part (olive drab actually) two Shermans with 76mm guns for the "nothing new in 22" project.


Italeri quick build kits with Early War Miniatures stowage added, mounted on bases from Warbases

TTFN and KBO

    Fine work Phil. Those horses look the part. Have you considered sharing your technique with Mr.B. after his recent anguish ;-D

      Thank you Jon. I used he contrast paints as Dave past them on to me and indeed one coat does not work.

    I like both Phil shiny and dull, I’m just not very good at painting shiny myself 😢

      Thank you Matt. I think you do yourself a disservice there.

    Splendid stuff indeed Phil…
    Shiny and dull both work well…
    It’s nice to see you sticking to nothing new in 22 … long may it continue.

    All the best. Aly

      Thank you Aly. The nothing new ruse appears to be working.

    Both the shiny and dull are looking superb Phil. Those Aventine Byzantines are very tempting and I keep finding reasons - mostly unpainted - not to purchase them however, these are a sore temptation now.

    Cheers, Ross

    The bodyguards are stunning and Sherman's pretty impressive too....Italeri quick build two packs have been on my radar for a while, seeing what a nice result can be achieved may sour me to purchase !

      Thank you Keith. The Sherman's are quite good, Only 12 parts as opposed to the Easy 8 I posted earlier which had 100🙂
