yes Paint monkey has finished this batch of now. 23 figures in all (20 painted and three used as a colour match!). So while you may count 23 in the middle photo there are really only 20 new ones painted. You don't have to count them but you can if you want! Without blowing my own trumpet I am pleased with how they have come out. Which is not to say that they will win any prize but that I am happy with them.
They are all boxed up and will be given back to Matt on Sunday. I have no idea how many Matt has now, but I am sure when they are all assembled it will be more than I recall.
Not being into Vexillology (study of flags) I can make no guess if this flag is right. I was asked to put it on them so they now have a nice bright red flag. As well as a bright red drum as that ties them all together. I think it looks "Spanking in Red" so I'll say no more about them other than it's probably wrong but to be honest only a bean counter would truly care. 
That's it for today EXCEPT:Roy over at http://rwhobbyblog.blogspot.co.uk/
Is planning a Wild West Play by Blog game.
The board he's making looks very good and if the game turns out half as good as the board it really should be a game worth being in.
So a few good men are needed there. I was hoping for a few naughty women but alas another dream shattered!
So that is it for now as I try to work out what I should be painting for myself. Take care all and Thanks for dropping bye.
All the best Clint
Staggeringly good stuff Clint. Lovely colours and basing. You've really pulled together a very very nice looking unit there. Love the flags too. I'm sure your friend will be absolutely thrilled with the quality of these minis.
ReplyDeleteLets Hope so Blax. He says he has some more for me on Sunday. I am going to have to think of something to do for myself now!
DeleteOh and thank you for the kin words.
DeleteYep, I did count 23 in the middle photo (sad, aren't I?). I agree with Blax, they are staggeringly good. Paint monkey deserves more than a banana. Give him a whole bunch!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. It is 23 figure but I had to take my shoes and socks of to make sure.!
DeleteI'd be happy to play with these miniatures! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteAnd many thanks for advertising my blog and game. It's very much appreciated.
No worries Roy happy to help. Thank you for the kind words as well. If there is room in you PBB game I'll happily give it a try. You might guess from the name that I know NOTHING about the west!
Delete:) a playing position has been reserved for you. only two places left (at the minute) after readers from your blog have been in touch.
DeleteI must admit members of this blog are very good in all regards .Thanks Roy for the Opportunity to play
DeleteGreat job on those Clint! I think the paint monkey deserves nuts nevermind bananas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob Nuts are his favourite fruit (well they grow on trees anyway) especially the chocolate covered nuts.
DeleteGood show old Bean! They look just the business :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul. Toying with the idea of doing Boxers next year. (Gulp, get the Zulus done first)
DeleteI just love these Clint, what a great job you've done on them!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael that's very gracious of you.
DeletePaint Monkey returns! You have done a splendid job with these Clint. They really do pop.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been absent of late but my Father In Law has been in and out of hospital for much of October. Usually I keep up with people even if I'm not posting on my own blog. Haven't been up to it this time round.
Thank you Anne.
DeleteIt is always a pleasure to see you on the blogosphere either in comments or in posts but family must come first. So we all miss you and wish you well but understand if you can't post or comment.
Nice work Mr Monkey!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray. Probably going to do some 10mm Samurai next for myself.
DeleteA wonderful looking unit mate. The basing is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThank you Milsey. It was only the cork on the bases I was not sure about and now I have grown to like it.
DeleteLovely work there Clint
ReplyDeleteGreat looking unit PM, the group picture shows how well the whole unit has matched up.
ReplyDeleteHow do you find time topaint your own stuff too ?
Thank you Joe.
DeleteThe truth is that I don't always have time to paint my own or others. But I do like wielding a brush so it just kinada gets done even if it is only a little a day. Sometimes just 10munites.
Excellent work Clint. Really enjoy seeing your work. Your friend should be really pleased with these.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carl. I shall try to get a new post put up tomorrow. Nothing too exciting at all.
DeleteI think they look great Clint :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Hobby
