Commander Taco

It took all of my restraint to not paint the fella on the right's bicorne in tortilla-brown and the ruffed fur edging as lettuce and cheese. These aren't as fun as the Gloucester napoleonic was, but they are an otherwise OK distraction during this stressful week.

2 down 1 to go.

The Barbarian chariot is done, can I get a witness? So the original archer is pinned to be swappable with Red Sonja here. I also made a base for everone who is not currently in the chariot to hang out in.

At the gates.

Hopefully I'll get this chariot photgraphed properly tomorrow, now that it's done. Also doing a few quick Frenchmen with ludicrous hats (below) for a friend since things have been Napoleonic around here last week.

buttons of improbable coloring

I've been informed these buttons should be more pewter. Oh well. He was fun to paint, but I can't imagine painting napoleonics all the time. I'd go mad.

Oh, got back to the barbarian chariot too and the horses are done; the glue affixing them to the base is drying as I type.

spit and polish

This fella is lookin' sharp to me so far

By Our Deeds We Are Known

Working on this officer from the 28th Regiment of Foot (Gloucester), for a charity auction. One of a fairly small number that were cast. Sculpted (very well) by Paul Hicks.

Junk in the Trunk

I finished this lass shortly after taking this. Final pictures will be a while in coming though- now to do the chariot and horses.

Sonjafication

Turns out a hairdryer is just the right amount of heat to get the resin pliable, but not droopy or dangerously maleable. Even halfway through the paintjob. Thanks to SJB for the suggestion! So now her spear is no longer swept backward.
