BUF (Part 5)

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!

  2. Lovely job on these Clint! The khaki works very well with the black and red. Looking forward to seeing the final group shot.

    1. Thanks Bob.
      I am always disappointed in final group shots as it is the last time I get to see the figures..... until they attack me!

  3. The color scheme does scream militaristic it seems right for the period. The Monkey strikes again!

    1. Thanks 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.

  8. Very 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.
