Well as mentioned some painted figures. No not what you were expected. These are 20mm Russian Civil War figures by IT miniatures. The Donkey comes from the WW1 range. I think French, but could be British or German. Anyway we were talking about some interwar period games at the club and I had these in the painting queue and so I finally took the plunge and got them painted. They are not brilliant but they are at least painted and look about right for some "20mm BACK OF BEYOND" games which will most likely never happen but a squad ad a supply mule finished anyway.Thanks for looking, more again soon.
All the best Cheerio
Clint
Just the job old boy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran. Always more to do though.
DeleteThey look just the job Clint, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. back to 28mm next.
DeleteVery nice Clint, now you just need a few Mongol bandits...)
ReplyDeleteThanks Don. I have Arab bandits already, which was part of the idea.
DeleteNice 20 mm a good idea ...but I would need so much new terrain I'm not sure I could face it
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. Luckily for me I already have enough 20mm terrain for this!(My Afghan boards which are 1/72.)
DeleteNice tosee you painting stuff for yourself, even if you don't seem too enthusiastic about them !
ReplyDeleteI think they look good btw.
Thanks Joe. It is not a lack of enthusiasm for the figures it was that they were painted for a game and the game folded. Hence my disappointment.
DeleteAgreed it's nice to see you painting your own miniatures for a change, Chris keeps on at me about 20mm but I do love the 28's!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy. I like all size miniatures for all different reasons. I find 20mm best for any 1939 era onwards and 10mm for most earlier periods. BUT (you knew there was a but!!!) For skirmish games I prefer 28mm figures.
DeleteNice work dude looking good!
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. Some more figures tomorrow as I will finish some tonight.
DeleteI know I should talk about these wonderful minis (and they are), but man that backdrop is impressive. I WANT it :))
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephen. The backdrop is just an A$ dot matrix computer print from the internet It is one of several I use as I dislike figures on a plain background where all the mistakes are clear and obvious.
Deletehi Clint. The backdrop idea really works. I now know why Stevie has been asking me to paint him a few for a while now. hmmmm, I`ll get on with it fairly soon I think. Seeing yours I now see the importance.
ReplyDeleteThank you Hil. As mentioned previously the backdrop is just a down loaded picture from the internet and printed off. So much easier than painting one!
