OK - it is time to be honest. The painting of those figures is not good.  Sorry, but there it is.  The painting of those figures is simply...........
...... MAGNIFICENT :o :o :o :o.  I have been painting 10mm on and off for 15 years, and I have never even approached your standard.  I truly look forward to seeing the impact of your brush on the FPW figures.      Welcome, Master, teach your pupils!

Welcome el-frances. I agree with everything Mollinary said. Terrific work.  =D> =D> =D>

You did confuse me, though. The picture and the fact that "Frances" in English is the feminine form of the name put me on entirely the wrong track.  :-[

Fabulous work, Frances!
Marvelous detail!
Are the Zulus from the iNdlondlo and uDududu amabutho?
