Following a disaster in which my computer monitor faded to black and could not be revived I have spent all day trying to get one locally. Now when you have internet access getting one is easy and about (with eBay) as cheap as you want it to be. 
I have limited space but I did finally manage to get one under 22". I Know that bigger is better for quality and picture viewing and everything else, but if you only have a limited space in which to put the monitor you have to go with the smallest you can get and my old on was 15" screen. So now everything is widescreen and a long way away. Anyway a long story short and trips to neighbouring towns to get to an Argos and a BIG Tesco and BIG Asda and a Staples and it is all sorted.
so without further ado here are my latest. A Hunter and his bloodhound from Gripping beast and in 28mm. The man actually looks very much like one of my neighbours (John). While I do like Bloodhounds in real life I am not a fan of this casting. But I did an internet search and colour matched it so I know it is not far from accurate for a specific dog if not the whole breed.
So once again sorry for the delay, I will try to post again tomorrow and if no computer issues I feel confident I will succeed. (Fingers Crossed)>
I just have to find out how to alter the contrast and get out of widescreen, I suspect I may have to read the Manual!
All the best Clint.
Very nice Clint, I know what you mean about that hound he does look a bit flat, but you've managed to bring him to life nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. A set back today but I can plow on tomorrow
DeleteI thought you had started lizard painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran I am not sure what lizard painting is but I probably have started it at one time or another! I have finished my first 2 Modern 15mm vehicles though if that helps?
DeleteI'm with Fran. How cool would it be to have a retriever monitor lizard. Nice work as always n these
DeleteThanks Martin. I am not with the lizard vibe today but that may change this afternoon. You just never know!
DeleteI thought you'd appointed someone into your service, but it turned out to be one of those techy things that I can sympathise with,still you're good to go now eh?
ReplyDeleteI think we all know a John, but to me he's a'Jim' (you'd have to replace his shotgun with he's equally lethal walking stick though).
Great pair of figures and I like the dog too !
Thanks Joe if Jim is as nice as john it would be a pleasure to meet him.
DeleteTech is a double edged sword, great when its working but....
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee, all working now (I think) but hard to order anything online with no moniror to see what you are ordering or even read the adverts.,........
