Back to the Analouge Painting Challenge for today's post ( yeh, I know Fran!!) These Russian Machine gun teams were entered into Curt's Challenge back on March 20th and along with the Japanese Machine Gun teams earned me 320 points!!!
The figures are once again from Irregular and still like most of Posties RJW collection are in need of a damn good inking!!!
It is my sad duty to inform you of a death in the family, my long serving camera Colin has bit the bullet. Colin served me for 3 glorious years, travelling with me to many Wargaming shows and to many games, we had our ups and downs, usually when he wouldn't focus when I wanted him to. I, still after the 3 years he served me, never knew how to get him to work properly, I'd press a button or two and usually wonder what I'd done and how the hell I would get it back to how it was before. But he always knew what to do. He was gallant until the end, which was the night before last, he was running out of juice, so a quick change of batteries was needed.............but that was the end. He never woke up from the operation even with the new batteries inserted the right way round.
So this post is dedicated to Colin, my his memory live Forever.....................
Lastly I'm pimping out Ian, a fellow Wargame blogger, take a quick look at his blog "The Blog With No Name", it will be well worth the visit!!!!!
Nice looking gunners. Very clean white coats.
ReplyDeleteOff to check out this blog now.
Splendid work Ray, even without the ink! Please let me offer my commiserations for Colin; parting is such sweet sorrow!

DeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteDo not worry... There will be a new Colin and maybe he will even do your bidding!
I hope so???
DeleteThe ink will only make these troops stand-out more! Also, my Nikon is in shock after hearing of Colin's major battery failure. Our digital sympathies are with you at this time.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteNicely done...and nice uniforms, this white is beautiful!
ReplyDeletePoor Colin, wanted to take a few pics myself but it looks like mine has sodded off to the funeral!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for pimping me (will have to write other than drivel then!!), and I agree ink would add to the figures glory, will Postie lisen?
Nope!?!
Deletemy, what a sad day.
ReplyDeleteFirst Peter Connoly, and now Colin...
Sad day indeed
I bet they would put out a wall of lead. Nicely detailed
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens with a man when he has four women in his house. He gives his camera a male name. What name will he give the next one? Hawkeye?
ReplyDeleteThe figures are excellent painted Ray.
Greetings

Looking crisp!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazed how you find the time to paint all this mate!!!
Those look nice!
ReplyDeleteI hope the back rank doesn't fire though ;)
I only agree with following Ian other than that you're boring the bejesus out of us, see you at work tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking unit. I would be lost without my camera as it took me ages to get used to all the settings.
ReplyDeleteCondolences on you loss. Colin did a sterling job right to the very end!
ReplyDeletenice one... maybe it was time for colin to go, a new camera is needed, colin is just going to be rencarnated as your next camera... I am sure he is being reborn as we speak in a factory not likely to be near you.
ReplyDeleteThose look really good the white makes them stand out with or without ink wash
ReplyDeleteGreat job on those!
ReplyDeleteMore amazing work! Well done!
ReplyDeleteRIP. :(
ReplyDeleteA wonderful dedication..
ReplyDeleteLovely work Ray. I would hate to have to supply the ammo for all that lot!
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment earlier Ray, but the public WiFi at the hospital kept cutting out.
ReplyDeleteI'll be flying a flag at half-mast tomorrow in honor of your camera. I like the whites on those figures. I'm working on a rabbit right now and am trying to paint his tunic a creamy white. If he turns out okay, I may post him this weekend. He's a fierce killer bunny!
320 points and a casualty...not to bad in total Ray.
ReplyDeleteLong live Sir Colin...
Amazing work!

Nice ray, I shall have a look at your mates blog.
ReplyDeleteSad to read the news about Colin. Very nice painting Ray.
ReplyDeleteNice tidy work. Not a line up I'd want to be marching towards!
