This is an artizan figure Stephen Huber sent me (amongst others)i like these figures slightly more than the foundry ones.Cant see me building an army of them as there is a lot of work on each figure.any way see what you think.cheers again stephen.

Last ECW foot unit.




Last one for the royalist army,cavalry and artillery next.With this unit i needed to finish it up quickly so set myself a target of 12 figures in a nights session,about 8 hours.the overall effect is ok,as you can see it still needs basing.More importantly i get to move on to different stuff that I'm "into" at the moment,flames of war and the new project french Napoleonic army using AB miniatures.I ordered some last week and hope they come soon.Is it me or are all wargamers/painters flighty butterfly like people flitting from one shiny new project to the next?

Just for fun
















Hi,






A friend (Chris Cope)gave me a bag of redoubt American native Indians,thought it would make a nice break between painting for others.The flesh was a bit of trial and error,at first i made them to dark then to light.I finally settled on a base coat of foundry bay brown "C" then adding greater and greater amounts of Games work shop tanned flesh.
