here come the British 28mm



I've been working away on these lads for a while they are Assault group miniatures they have really nice detail. I've been waiting for the bases to turn up to get them and the rest of the Afghan and Taliban figures finished. I have already had delivery of another 50 odd figures including Saddam  and quite a few nasty looking lads, some allied mercenaries and more British all for Reg.

28mm ww1 Germans progress report


 These  guys are coming along not quite there but getting closer
I'm working on the ground tonight, I want it to look quite muddy and wet 
so after three layer of paint I've now added a brown dye. the picture at the bottom is a test figure with 
a thin layer of wallpaper glue that dries clear well that's what i'm hoping for i will add the odd tuft of dry brown grass and maybe  a couple with very dark green grass  but i don't think i will add any static grass. Have to see what the client say when he see's my end result.

 How will it dry i'll let you know later

French 28mm Napoleonic army so far

 well four months ago i wasn't even thinking about French 28mm armies and didn't own a single figure it's amazing what a wee bit of madness and a steady painting hand can do i still have a lot of figures left to paint yet but really pleased with the progress so far especially when you think i've been painting more for others than i have for myself
 this light regiment below is one of my favourites
 the first of four regiments of Dragoons
