The Marvelous Miscellany of MMcV

It is of course in a box at the bottom of a pile of other boxes. We've been in a house moving limbo for a while now. I'll have a look when we do the next box sorting.

I haven't used it, but the very fine copper wire you get in co-ax cables.....That shouldn't be too far off the mark !

NOT the single wire in the middle.......That's WAY, WAY too fat. 

Florists' wire, Nobby ?.......No, no, no, no......

As Matthew has some idea of how to post piccies...(About a billion times better than me)...I'll try and send some photo's to him, in the next couple of days.......Then HE can upload them. 

Cheers - A Lazy Git.

There are various grades of florists wire. 5 gauge is very thin.

Haha certainly can do

Finished up a few bases I'd mostly done last weekend.

First up Otomi warriors:





And some Tarascan Valiant Ones, a few modifications on these





Also painted and washed the royal bodyguard unit, just needs highlights and basing.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

V impressive! 

[paulr]

 

I can't tell which ones have had the modifications which is a good sign

[Techno II]

Cracking work, Matthew ! 

Cheers - Phil. 

[Steve J]

Superb work Matthew .

[fred.]

I really like those, nice and colourful!

The basing sets them off well too, and has a Central American feel to it (not that I have any real knowledge of what Central American terrain would look like, but these give me that vibe...)

Thanks!

Yeah Fred for the basing I used a mix of Google maps and photos (including some from my wife's trip to Mexico before I met her) for an idea. I imagine high traffic areas would have been more worn down (saw this at pictures of ruins) but out in the wilds there's a nice verdant feel.

It's also nice that I can do the basing pretty much all in one go as the flocks don't absorb as much paint and PVA as sand does so all adheres okay.

Paul, the back left and right figures have modified headgear, added quivers and on one of them a bow. The standard is a slight mutilation of one of the existing banners. The banners on the next few on the queue are more heavily modified or new creations.

They look great! The basing is brilliant

The Tarascan royal bodyguard:





Few modifications here!

Also got three bases of infantry painted and washed. Hopefully it's not another week again until I can get them highlighted and based!

After that only the generals, heroes and casualties to paint and the king to tackle the sculpting on.

Mmcv, my point, probably badly expressed, was that the modifications are so well done that they look as well sculpted as the original models

Haha no never worry I did indeed get your point, just thought I'd highlight which ones did get modified anyway! 

To that, in the above image it's the two middle figures.
