It is sort of sad, 10 years ago this would have been fun not work. I can't wait to get back to some glossy toy soldiers.
I don't technically need these guys for Huzzah but they've been on my desk wearing a base coat on flesh and clothes for 2 years now and this could be the last chance for them to appear on a table in the foreseeable future. Part of it may be that I've done Woodland Indians in 4 scales and the first time was the most fun and I enjoyed going to town on the warpaint. Those were mostly Freikorps 15's, very nice figures. these are Old Glory 40's. The 1 part figures are quite nice but the multipart ones are pretty bad and the separate powder belts and bags are awful and would be better scratch built on.
Anyhow 6 more to go but not this weekend. Tomorrow the 1/72nd Nine Years War resumes.

ReplyDeleteGood ol' burnt umber.
DeleteLooking forward to the nine Years war too...
ReplyDeleteNice work, and nice poses!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the 2 on the right are some of the multi pose sets.
DeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteI prefer single part figures myself. Assembling multi-part figures is not my idea of fun. And it's one reason I'm also not a fan of plastic figures, as any are multi-part.
