I got these miniatures from a well-known figure painter, who no longer had the time to paint them, so he kindly let me have the metal sculpts to have a play around with, and see how well I could paint them. Well, they're better than I've managed previously, but I know that a lot can paint better. Anyway, the pictures ...

Thanks for looking :)
Well I think you have done a lovely job there - congratulations :D :-bd :-bd

That's some very nice painting and basing to show off the figures.
Though I do have to say I really dislike the big black plinth like edges of the plastic bases. I'm not that keen on these bases on 28mm figures, let alone on 10s.
Very nice!
Unlike fred I like the effect of the bases.
Can't please all of the people all of the time :-)
Good painting and shading.
Very nice work there fella! 8)
Excellent job, GB !!
Cheers - Phil

Agree with Fred on the bases, but it is a matter of personal taste
Very nice indeed
Take care
Andy
Certainly no need to apologise for those.
If they're 10mm then you've probably got yourself a new career. :-bd
Thank you, everyone.
Just realised that the bodhran drummer is actually the older image, and the black line running up his back was an error that has since been rectified.
As to the bases ~ Simply a case of some 20mm slotta bases I had kicking around spare, and since the figures are individual, and I was trying painting methods, they got used. I wouldn't normally use them, but hey ho ...
I've another standard bearer to do and then two cavalry figures, which I'll update this thread when they're done.
Thank you all, again. :)
Very nice work, really like the standard bearer. Is the swan cast on the model or did you paint it freehand?
Thanks.

Now that is impressive.

Now that I've seen what the 2mm thick MDF bases are like (that Minibits / Pendraken sell) I'll probably use them for this type of painting jobs in the future.
I have the idea of working through one of the suggested armies from the Lion Rampant rules book, basing them, as per the rules, on 25 or 30mm circular bases, but with multiple figures and some clump foliage for shrubbery, or the trees that Pendraken sell. Might even use some stones etc. to "sexy up" the bases, should I ever get around to working on this idea.
Pendraken ACW first, though.
I'm thinking of doing the circular basing with a few figures for the new crusader Saga.
cool.
somebody mentioned (on another forum) they were going to add some harem girls to the officers base, as troop motivators ;D
I popped some naked prostitutes on a 15mm Italian Wars camp base. Some soldiers appear to be giving them the once over.
Vulpines recent 28mm Romans have some good naked slave girls pouring wine on the command strip - looks good!
this was where I read about the harem dancers (I don't want to repost the semi-nude figures onto this site)

The fig's are resin, from St. Petersburg, Russia. Someday I might buy some from the company.
My renaissance baggage train has some renaissance baggages in a suitable tent. I used bather figures from a Japanese model railway accessories set; the rest went into an onsen fantasy for contemporary Japanese battles.
