These figures are from Woodbine MIniatures, but sold in the UK by Gripping Beast. I will leave it to you to determine Hunting party or game keepers or poachers or maybe some of each! They are of course for Matt and his ever growing Very British Civil War project.
As such I have painted them in country clothes colours and tweeds and it helps to make them look like they have been extras in a "Horse and Hounds" photo shoot. I did enjoy painting them despite destroying a paint brush (Accidently) in the process.
Little more needs be said other than they are all 28mm figures and were well cast and sculpted.
All the best Clint
They look superb!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gordon.
DeleteI love these Clint and have a pack languishing somewhere at the bottom of the lead pile. Great use of colour, in fact, I think the chap loading his gun has actually stolen my cap!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. If I ever paint a purple top hat then you will know I have designs on your head gear.
Delete"Little more needs be said other than they are all 28mm figures and were well cast and sculpted" and very well-painted, Clint. :-)
ReplyDeleteMarvellous way to start the weekend as these are simply lovely looking. There's some cracking tartan going on, and the chap with the hunting dog is an absolute corker. Great stuff.
Cheers Simon. I am pleased you said so as I have little experience painting dogs, but I was reasonably well pleased with him.
DeleteVery nice work mate. Like these a lot.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee. They were a nice group to paint, very restful with no loud colours.
DeleteI love the Woodbine sculpts and these are beautifully painted. Fantastic work,
ReplyDeleteThank you Kieran for the very kind words.
DeleteNice work old boy, release the hounds!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran. Or is that "Let slip the dogs of war!"?
DeleteSmashing job Clint! I do like these and think they would make excellent gentrified zombie hunters.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob a very interesting idea.
DeleteLovely work Clint. All you need now is a John Gielgud-esque anti-hunting protestor :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks Tams.
DeleteFantastic work! Loving all the VBCW stuff. Always jealous too since that type of game would never go over well with any of the locals.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jason. Sorry to hear the game would not sit well with your locals. Let us both hope my next project will. Yes I am gong to start another project in the coming week. So hopefully something finished by next weekend.
DeleteMore great additions to your mate's VBCW set-up, but I reckon they have t be poachers with sawed-off shotguns (those barrels are really short).
ReplyDeleteLove the dog and the colours you've used. Tip-top brushwork as always.
Thank you Joe, very kind of you. When painting them the barrels did not seem short. But I will take your word for it!
DeleteCracking stuff mate. The muted hunting tartans are very good indeed.
ReplyDeleteCheers Millsy, they were nice and pleasant to paint after the cricketers!
DeleteHmm, I can see a hunting scenario on the moors where the prey turns out to be not quite as harmless as it seems. Perhaps these four chaps and their dog discover that they are trailing a pack of werewolves, or stumble across a coven of cultists? Or maybe encounter some devil-worshipping Morris Dancers? I don't suppose this ever happens in VBCW, though?
ReplyDeleteThanks C6. I am not sure that is the intent of the game, but those are some interesting ideas
DeleteVery fine work, Clint! Lots of possibilities for these fellows, as Colgar6 pointed out before me.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the fellow with the beard, he looks like a visiting nobleman from Austria.
Cracking good work.
Cheers,
M
Cheers Michael. He does look like a visitor from Austria! Glad you like them.
