I was given a few examples to coly and I have tried to match the colours. I feel I have been quite successful.
Theer is a mixture of poses as well as 2 officers and a lewia gun and crew. So about as balanced a force as I could hope in a WW1 setting (although heavy on officers).
They were a pleasure to paint and I am glad to have them done, but I would happily paint them again. I did make a mistake and Matt was good enough to point it out in plenty of time for me to correct it. So the least said about that the better. I know someone will ask, it is simply I painted one thing as canvas when it should be leather. So out cane the brown paint and ten minutes later the problem was fixed.
That's it for today. I might be a bit sketchy on posts tis week as I shall be trying to sell some old armies and will need to freshen them up. That not being new work I possibly shall not share it on the blog.Enjoy the rest of the weekend and paint if you get the chance and dream of playing a good game among friends. All the best Clint
Great looking unit Clint, hope the selling goes well, and then you can get back to gaming and doing the projects you want to
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave. Well as I am sure you already know there are plenty of projects I want to get going on.
DeleteTerrific work, Clint. I'm not sure I'd want to be wearing that bright blue cross on my chest though. Talk about giving a marksman a target :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. As yet Matt has not seen the blue scarf. he may ask for it to be changed. If so I will need to sort out an alternative colour!
DeleteWhat a great group of squaddies, the variation in poses is very good - the sort of advancing poses I like.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. All in all they were great to paint. They were similar but with enough variation to be different each time.
DeleteThat's a well painted group of advancing infantrymen. I do agree with Simon about the brightly coloured scarf making that officer a very tempting target, though.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. In some games you need officers to stand out in order to issue commands on the table. Yes If I was being realistic then grey or brown would be a better choice but for a game where people NEED to see the officers clearly as we cannot hear them, a bright colour is not a problem to me. But it all comes down to what Matt thinks and the rules he intends to use.
DeleteThese look excellent mate. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. Unfortunately I have spent all day looking for some figures and not found them at all. Not giving up though.
DeleteOutstanding work Clint.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. I should hear later on Monday if Matt wants any change made. I suspect not but he has the right to do so.
DeleteThey look great, excellent job Clint!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil. I have of late been much inspired by 6mm gaming so maybe some of that next week.
DeleteNice group of figures. Excellent work as always mate.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee. This week I am prepping things to sell at Broadside. Maybe a few older armies.
DeleteCracking work mate.
ReplyDeleteThank you Andy. A few bits and bobs this week as I prepare for the show.
DeleteI’ll see you up there mate
DeleteI shall Mostly be at the flea market side of the show....well at least I plan to be!
