The best painter around IMHO.

By the way do you know if he have done any painting tutorials? On any subject?

Anyhow the figures are really well sculpted too… I’m looking forward to any new releases from Musketeer Miniatures (at Salute?)

Great stuff! The paintjobs make the minis look a little less cartoony.

Wunderbar! Now all you need to do is to sculpt more russians. I desperately need the HMG, more Infantry, more of the whole range to give my brand new Brigade Games Austrians a tougher opposition than the 20+ Russians you sold me at Crisis!

Hehehe! HMG crew almost finished now so they will be the next out along with Infantry in Greatcoats.

Wow!

Andrew has to be THE painter currently. Very subtle use of colour & shading, and fantastic faces.

Of course none of that would be possible without nicely sculpted miniatures.

Ye Gods that guy is good.
I totally agree, he's the best around at the moment. Just perfect execution every single time. Haven't seen him put a foot wrong.

I don't know if you pay him in kind or in money, Bill, but it's a worthwhile investment in marketing because he makes the figures (which are of course excellent anyway) look absolutely superlative.

Lovely.

Andrew is a cold hard cash man

! But worth every penny.

I love these figures. Based on these, I'm looking forward to the Russians in greatcoats. Now that I'm into BoB I can justify buying some of these.

Have you considered doing variants of these with red stars instead of the Imperial cap badges?

Any ETA on the greatcoats and HMG by any chance?

Lovely work Bill, especially love the medic.

Andrew has really captured the colours of the uniform perfectly.

Edit: Blast! I wish I could spell sometimes.

The HMG and Greatcoats are going to be available in about 4-5 weeks once I've gotten Salute and Triples out of the way. As for red stars on caps, the easiest thing to do is just carve the badges off and paint one on. Although the RCW is an option with this range I don't have any time to devote to it at the moment.
