Snails Pace

A very sparse month on the painting front, the advance so far.
A Krupp Protze for the Spanish Civil War Nationalists to tow their PAK36. A Rubicon kit with a driver from Empress Miniatures with a head swap.
Next the final six figures for the F.A.R.T.S. Again figures from Empress Miniatures, these will hopefully hit the table over at GHQ next month sometime?
Lastly three test figures for the British half of the Italian campaign project. Figures from AB the acme of WWII figures in 20mm.
Off to GHQ for some early Italian Wars action tomorrow, look out for a report of the action over on Dave's blog in the coming days.
Toodle Pip, until next time KBO

  2. All very nicely done. The British soldier on the left I regard as the classic british pose of the period, I’m not sure why, perhaps I have seen that pose painted somewhere, perhaps on the cover of a game.

    The tribesmen are lovely, I have zoomed in to steal your painting skills …… but you remain safe from that :-)

    1. Thank you Matt. The consensus appears to be a positive so I have continued with a similar palette.

  9. AB certainly do make some very nice 20mm figures and your excellent brushwork more than does them justice!
