Quick and easy painting with a borrowed canon....but ready for service.
The sculpting on these Drabant figures really deserved a 'proper' paint job, carefully shaded and so on but.......... neither hand nor eye nor back are up for it these days, so they're done in my current style. I want to give them one of the new heavy guns from Prince August but I need to cast one up first.

They have come up well and look ready for the fray!

Yes, they should do fine.
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteI like the look and the painting style ... and I am sure that they will perform well on your tabletop battlefield!
All the best,
Bob
Alas there seems to be little connection between looks and performance but we shall see.. .
DeleteNice going there on the new figures Ross- well done. Stay well there in Canada. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev, doing our best to stay well.
DeleteYour style works really well with these figures Ross…
ReplyDeleteI don’t think that you can go far wrong with a bit of shiny…
All the best. Aly
Thanks. I like to think it helps my imagination over rule my inner pedant.
DeleteI think that they look wonderful as you have painted them Ross.

Thanks. It just gets a bit frustrating at times when somethings need repeated fixing.
