There will be a part 6 as I still have 2 figures to paint! But after that I have no idea if there will be any more. Maybe, maybe not! Again all painted for Matt and all "footsore/musketeer miniatures) except the one on the right who is a Copplestone castings. Again all head swaps carried out by Matt and the monkey just slaps the paint on! (Sometims with a big brush (GW tank brush at times!)and sometimes with a small brush.... a very small bush)
I have said it all before about the figures, they are nice castings and I believe fit the period
very well. I have seen different colour schemes for the figures of course some of which have been very good, but these I suspect suit me best. Matt did originally suggest grey trousers, but he has now come around to the Khaki look as it gives them a more military look than all black and grey so I thank him for his indulgence.
Only a few more figures to go on this batch, I did want them finished yesterday but time just got away from me. So expect the last few in a couple of days and a group shot of them all together.
That's it all the best for now. Take care have fun and get some painting done if you can.
Cheers Clint
Post script: I only mention Paint monkey when painting for someone else!
Nice work Clint, even if they are those nasty Fascisti :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin. I agree extreme parties whether left or right wing are nasty!
DeleteLovely job on these Clint! The khaki works very well with the black and red. Looking forward to seeing the final group shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob.
DeleteI am always disappointed in final group shots as it is the last time I get to see the figures..... until they attack me!
The color scheme does scream militaristic it seems right for the period. The Monkey strikes again!
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert. In this period the Spanish paramilitary police (Guadia Asalto) did have a full black uniform but I wanted something a little more British so tried Khaki instead.
DeleteAnd sanity returns with another helping of BUF goodness! (you sick of doing these yet ?)
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe. No not sick yet. Working on a few more at the moment!
DeleteAnd after these it will be a clear run at Frostgrave until the weekend.... I guess that means some time Saturday night!

DeleteYou are on top form with these Clint, fabulous Sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. only a couple more to finish I think.
DeleteGreat brushwork Clint! The BUF are great fun with plenty of ways to ham things up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. nothing at all wrong with comedy bad guys.
DeleteVery nice work, Clint. Tons of character - the red and khaki is a great combo. I figured that one casting for a Copplestone as soon as I saw the pic. Great figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. I should post the next batch today! More BUF!
DeleteNice additions they look great! Got to love Copplestone mini's they stand out so well.
ReplyDeleteCheers Brummie. There is something very pleasant about Copplestone castings!
