Germans II

The rifle team for the first German squad of the 1940 project has mustered out of the painting desk this week.

The ever lovely and naturally posed AB Figures on bases from Warbases with Gamers Grass light moss dry brushed with Vallejo yellow ochre.

I have just started work on the first of the British squads for the project.

All being well gaming will return to OHQ this Tuesday, more than likely it will be a World War II game. Until next time............ TTFN & KBO

Fluttering?

On an evening after I have been production line painting most of the day I get the urge to paint a single figure from start to finish.

The other evening was one such, I have had this figure primed since it came as a freebie when I was ordering my Britons and Saxons from Footsore Miniatures. He always catches my eye when I have recourse to go to the to do box, so I decided this was a good time to set to.

Queue one Moorish Chieftain.

Bill Thornhills nice smooth sculpting enabled going to town on the gown.

The shield transfer is from LBMS, from a Viking sheet but it looks suitably Islamic looking to me.

Base from Warbases.

Now I have to go and get these wings under control 🙂

Argentinians

The second battalion of Argentinians recently mustered off the painting desk.

I am currently working on a gun and crew for the Paraguayans and have six figures painted towards their sixth battalion. When it is complete I will have enough figures to try out a small game and then assess where I go further on the project in the future.

Next to muster off the desk will be WWII Germans, keep tuned until then.....
