What are you working on....?

[Stewart 46A]

I have finished a mountain tribe force for Vietnam and today a few British Charaters for My 25mm Rorks Drift game on Saturday at the Weymouth games weekend.
The mountain tribes can double as Natives against the Pirates at the weekend until I get the native painted

Not wargames, but i made some Angels for Christmas from felt and pipe cleaners.

Finally finished 'death by brown paint'.



More pics on my blog http://www.keepyourpowderdry.co.uk/?m=1 plus the start of my sconce project.

They look determined and neat. Good work that man.  If i were in America I would say "awesome".

[Leman (Andy)]

They look terrific. Hope I can do the same kind of justice to mine.

Many thanks. Thankfully a good wash makes amends for a shoddy paint job.

[Sean Clark]

'A Good wash' has been my painting mantra for a good few years now.

It's ironic that by staying true to history ECW cavalry are various shades of brown. I found this when painting up my Regiment of Foote armies. And being the ECW you certainly need a lot of cavalry.

They look really excellent. I'll remain stolidly English and also refrain from calling them awesome. But that's what they are!

Thanks. The last of my Salute 2018 swag.

Once the Sconce has been finished, it's back to drilling the hands out of lowland pike, and putting Scots bonnets on regular pike (for the dastardly Newcastle's regiment of white coats).

Very nice Radar - they did turn out well!

Mind your fingers when drilling out all those pikes...

[Radar]

Thanks, hopefully I'll keep my fingers intact. (I writ some destructions on how best to attack each pose). Fingers crossed, but obviously not whilst using a pin vice.

Sconce completed. Rubbish picture, looks much better in daylight


I think I shall do artillery next

[Sean Clark]

Wowzers! What are the dimensions?

[Radar]

Base, if my memory serves me right, is 400mm × 300mm.

I'll put better pics up on the blog tomorrow, it looks awful under artificial lighting. Contrast between the stonework colours is really stark. Plus it needs some figures manning the walls.

Ming Chinese force for Dragon Rampant.

Cavalry, Temple Lions, Qilin complete.
Foot (Spears, bows and crossbows) and Dragon in progress.


What's the best way to post photographs?

[Colonel Kilgore]

Hello Steve - and welcome to the Forum.

We don't encourage folk to attach photos directly to posts (as it eats up memory that has to be paid for), but rather prefer links to photos hosted elsewhere.

A lot of people have used PhotoBucket. I and some others use TinyPic (which has the added benefit of not even having to log in). There are many other options, and you may of course have your own blog or server.

Does this help?
