I have a rather crowded box of recruits for my Prince Valiant games so I try to paint at least a few figures for each game.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
They have painted up well .
ReplyDeleteI am glad you gave a good home to these poor gold figures ( why anyone would paint them gold l cannot imagine) and clothed them appropriately.
Tentative table looking promising…

They weren't painted gold, they were cast in gold plastic. Probably prizes in a party treat or in one of those bubblegum style machines or in a party cracker, easter egg etc etc.
DeleteFor a Super Quick paint job they look really nice! The original figure looks familiar though I don't know why...
ReplyDeleteI do love my Elastolins
DeleteSUperb figures, love the shields!
ReplyDeleteI started to sand away the original detail but the plastic was hard! So I flooded them with white glue.
DeleteNice. Love it when cheap figures prove useful.
ReplyDeleteIt's my Scots blood ....
