I've been painting like a madman recently, unfortunately though, it was my bathroom walls and ceiling and not my little metal men!
I was under orders from SWMBO and to be honest I've been putting it off for a while now, so the whip was cracked and out came the tile adhesive cutters and bigboy paintbrushes.
Boo!
Anyway on with the figures,
I bought these 5 figures painted Foundry figures from Instant Armies (I think) at Partizan back in May,
They did need a little touching up and my special blend of ink to match them into the rest of my Haitian Rebels.
I'm not actually sure how many I have now, It's probably enough, I should stop really?
This chap I did paint, he's a Front Rank British General, I think he's a personality figure? But he will be used as any old commander, when I do eventually get a game.
There's just something about Front Rank that I like.
Well that's me for today, short and sweet!
Good additions to the project, Ray! There is something about Front Rank Napoleonics that I like too. Looks like you have General Craufurd there. While we hate swapping to the large brushes for full scale painting projects, sometimes it must be done. Aren’t you glad it is finished?
ReplyDeleteYep, but the Mrs is now eying up the kitchen now!
DeleteNicely done Ray, My days of painting walls etc. I hope are behind me now, hated it, my missus did not marry a painter, joiner, electrician, plasterer etc. and it shows.
ReplyDeleteHaha. It's all these daft decorating programmes on the TV I blame.
DeleteLovely work Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon.
DeleteYou can never have enough.
ReplyDeleteHope the bathroom looks good and passed your wife's inspection.
Only just....I think?
DeleteYou have to keep SWMBO happy. Nice figures
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do!
DeleteBeautiful work sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal.
DeleteLovely work Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rich.
DeleteNice additions to your collection, I like the officer, cracking figure and nice work on him.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie.
DeleteRebels with some nasty firepower too - nice additions Ray!
ReplyDeleteI like the general. Suitably pompous looking I think.
Indeed he does!
DeleteGreat additions to the collection
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteMore lovely figures for the Haitian project. Well done on the bathroom as well. I try to do that sort of project when the wife is out to avoid the helpful advice which is usually proffered along the way.
ReplyDeleteNailed it, Lawrence!
DeleteHmm? Might have to send her away next time?
DeleteThe pre painted figures are nice Ray and totally agree about Front Rank, still one of my favourite figure ranges!
ReplyDeleteIndeedy!
DeleteSweet and short is the way to go Ray, great figures!
ReplyDeleteQuite right Sander.
DeleteCeiling painting! worse than painting horses or kneeling troops ... just! Nice job on the commander, I like the two lines on the lapel, subtle and just sets it off.
ReplyDeleteTwo stripes of gold, dies the trick.
DeleteLovely new toys Ray…
ReplyDeleteEspecially the British officer… Front Rank figures certainly get my vote.
All the best. Aly
Jyst wish they had more of a head varient.
DeleteNice additions to the collection there. As to decorating, we have a chap who does ours. I'd recommend it.
ReplyDeleteI wish?
DeleteLooking good as ever
ReplyDeleteCheers Sgt!
DeleteVery nice brushwork...pity most of it was in the Bathroom. I feel for you mate, theirs DiY awaiting me in my house...not sure how long I can put off doing it before the wife's patience runs out.
ReplyDeleteLol. I was under a sentence of death, if I didn't get it done, so good luck to you!
DeleteBy my reckoning Ithink you can represent every rebel to a scale of 1:1 wuth the addition of another five excellent rebels.
ReplyDeleteI don;t know why but I was amused by the british officer (I think I had 'my little pony' in the back of my mind).
Very nice work Ray!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Nice brush work. SWMBO may complain- but we can only offer moral support by complementing your paintwork!
ReplyDeleteLol. Thanks John!
DeleteGreat looking commander and rebels, luckily I finished my house during lockdown!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Wish I had!
DeleteFine figures Ray and that officer looks particularly grand. I'm with you on Front Rank; plenty of character but not over the top.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
They are nice figures
