Finished (for the Moment)

Well it has taken a couple of weeks but I have now finished painting the colonial Indian troops for Matt for the Northwest Frontier. He'll see me Sunday and collect them and most likely give me some more to do, but for now I am finished and here are the latest Batch.

Sorry for the rough photography on a couple of the pictures (well none are perfect... ho hum!). Still they should give you some Idea.

7 Figures in this batch including 2 flag bearers. Again either Foundry or Old Glory. Flags are from "Body's Banners" stocked by "Redoubt".

All together now,
 The Last picture is because some bright spark usually asks for a group shot. So this time I thought I would save them the effort. It shows all the troops that Matt has asked me to paint this time out. One of the great things about Painting for Matt is that he never sets me a deadline so if I can finish in 6 months or 6 days he's content. And that is great as it really does take all the pressure off. So thanks Matt.

So now I have 4 days in which to indulge myself and paint what I want so I may well start too much and get nothing finished. But my plan however is to start some 1/300th Cold war figures and some 20mm Zombies.

So until Saturday, take care, have fun and try not to hurt anyone! Next episode should be Saturday so I hope you can tune in again then.

Best Wishes from Paint Monkey.

  2. Damn but they look good.
    Your output is impressive and makes me feel a bit guilty, having not painted a single figure in weeks !

    1. Thank you Joe. No need to feel guilty you have to be in the mood to paint I find. So if you have not been in the mood no one is to blame.

    1. Thanks mate. I don't enjoy doing the flags as much as the figures, but they do improve the figures I think.

  7. You're a great friend now if only I could find a paint monkey.... I'm as eager as everyone else for 20mm zombies and of course trucks there are many 20mm trucks available these days.

    1. LOL there are 1/300th scale trucks as well. Yes some zombies are started. Not quite sure how I should paint them though. Maybe just sepia tones or maybe full colour.Thank you Robert.
