Nicely done. Just about to break out through 1800!

Going smooth!

Going to start painting a wee bit more if i can. Didn't focus on paintng the last two weeks, inbetween going to the zoo, amusement parks, and putting my order togheter for the punic war stuff (and work), there was not much time left over. Should be a bit better now, but still, that can change quite fast!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Sounds like a great two weeks!

Sounds like a great two weeks!

Can't complain!


Just mounted the new mouslings on bases, Well 5 cent pieces as i was out of bases  .

Looks like the armies of the forest critters are amassing steadily! Will the painting stop one day? Doesn't look like it!





The plain white bones miniatures are a pain to photograph!

Look forward to seeing those, once they've been 'under the brush', Peter !

I really like the look of those Mice and Mystics figures, especially the frogs.

[petercooman]

Cor blimey guv, that's quite a list!

That list is almost magical. Whenever i get it down to 20 things left to do, it goes back up 

[petercooman]

With the competition over, here are some more pictures of what i entered, just to keep the painting diary complete

The russians




the truck






the acw civilians







sacrifice to the gods

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I voted fir the truck and the civilians, I thought they were brilliant sir.

[petercooman]

I voted fir the truck and the civilians, I thought they were brilliant sir.

Thanks!

Funny thing, i painted the truck, civilians and the sacrifice especially for the comp, trying different techniques.

The russian infantry is just my normal wargames standard, painted to fit in with the rest of my army.

The russians got more votes than the others combined   

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Maybe best not to experiment in future then! 

[Techno]

Good work, Peter ! 

Cheers - Phil

[petercooman]

I finished my zouaves! I based the colour schemes on a perry miniatures leaflet:



I rushed these a bit just to keep going forward. They are just wargames standard, but will look nice on the table!
