Or Old McDonald had a farm.
For this entry from last week I painted up a few odds and sods that have been hanging around in the leadpile for far too long.
Firstly One man and his dog, with 3 sheep......
The figures are from Redoubt and were a quick paint job. I've been experimenting
with different inks and washes. These were washed with an old recipe of Windsor & Newton Peat Brown writing ink, its an old Reject recipe that most of us still use. I think it needed watering down a little more, so its a tad heavy in places. I think the Army Painter dip works better to be honest.
The next 3 figures are from Redoubt Enterprise, I believe from their AWI range.
Again I used the W & N ink, I think it worked a little better on these figures?
They will of course go into the Donnybrook box of dispare, hopefully to be used one
day in a game!!
Lastly we have 2 Maids a milkin' and Daisy
also from Redoubt Enterprises
There were 6 x 25mm figures = 30
1 x Dog = 2
3 x Sheep = 6
3 bails of straw = 3
1 x Cow = 5
1 x Cow = 5
Making a total of 46 points to add to my collection!
These and the figures from my last post pushed me up to my highest position so far this year no 2!
Although as I type I've gone down to no 26, with a grand total of 234 points.
Leaving me 966 points shy of my aim of 1200 points.
Things are going good!

This is a lovely set Ray and reminds me I need to add that milkmaid to my collection.
ReplyDeleteIf you can still buy them Sir M.
DeleteNow you're all set to start your own farm. And destroy it in some battle! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan.
DeleteOh my gosh, this little farm is too cute. Love the moo-cow. But that poor milk carrier lady looks like she's getting a workout.
ReplyDeletePoor girl.
DeleteThis video gave me some inspiration, some less smelly than Army painter dip. Nice looking collection.
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil.
