Yes an early post. I'll explain in a bit.Here however are 6 more Camels and riders for my Arab revolt game. That is a total of 32 done altogether. Only a few more to go! And when they are all together I'll do the whole mob together in one place for you all to see.
As with all the rest they are IT miniatures 20mm WW1 figures. And they are all on the "standing" pose camel as opposed to the "Walking" pose Camel. I much prefer this pose and have asked Tim the owner just to supply this pose. The Range of Camel colours have resulted in sufficient variation so when they are all together the fact that they are mostly the same pose is not noticed. It helps greatly that there is some greater variety in the riders poses.
So why am I posting early and not tomorrow morning as I had intended. The simple answer is that todays painting for Curt's Analogue Hobbies painting challenge has gone horribly wrong. I grant you I could work all night on it and maybe get it back to where I want it. Or and this is the option I shall take start on something smaller/easier tomorrow. I have not given up on the figures for the hero/heroic group they will be seen eventually so I'll keep working away at them and eventually they will take a place in the challenge. Maybe in the favourite character Bonus round.That is probably it until Sunday now. I have a single (simple) figure to paint and bas tomorrow and a game with Posties Rejects on Saturday. So take care paint your hearts out and enjoy what you do.
All the best Clint
Great humpbacks! I've never painted a camel before, so your work is especially enticing. Actually I may have had some 1/72nd Airfix camels from their Arab set, but it was so long ago. I may have to try one out in 28mm. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteIf you have a use for camels then yes paint them up as they are quite fun to do. Thank you Dean.
DeleteGood luck at the weekend and slap Ray upside the head too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran, I wonder who I'll be teamed with?
DeleteAnyone but Lee or Surjit!
ReplyDeleteWell it will only be Lee, Ray, John and Postie. With Lee as the reff so No terrible dice rolls and no terrible unsupported charges..... Ray is erhm Ray, John seems quite steady and Postie is an unknown quantity for me at the moment. So anyone would be good.
DeleteThey look fantastic and the pics are great. Have fun with the boys!
ReplyDeleteWell It should be fun on Saturday, and you Know It will be documented on three blogs for sure Thank you Simon.
DeleteI think you're getting too good at painting these, this batch is superb.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe Practice makes perfect.... (I am a long way from Perfect though!)
DeleteGreat work! The variation of the skin really makes each unique, no matter the same pose.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mathyoo. They should look acceptable on the table top. Which is the main thing.
DeleteNice painting Clint! And see you on Saturday!!!! Should be good!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward and dreading Saturday in equal measure! Thank you Ray.
DeleteYou are very good at this, aren't you, Clint? I have never painted a camel before but if ever I did need to I'd be digging out your posts for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGetting there not there yet. To be honest I don't put too much effort in on the camels. But it does seem to work. Thank you Bryan.
DeleteMushavaleak, I am so lovong this project Clint and good luck with your game on Sunday
ReplyDeleteCheers Pete. The Background in the VBCW period for the Suez is interesting too.
