Excellent lush bit of paintwork  :-* But you'll feel like doing another one in half an hour  ;)

The figure is nicely painted but the terrain modelling completely blew me away. Be the first on you block to have a wargames table layout that can be seen from space!

Thank you kindly Gentlemen. I need a bit of encouragement at the moment and have now started the next four of these and four others to go with them.

The blue is an old Citadel colour which no longer has a label on it. Electric Blue? It must be well over twenty years old as I have not bought any of their paint since I left them all those years ago. I mixed it with Ultramarine watercolour for the shading an a tad of white for the highlights.

Those colours are vivid and beautiful! Using him for anything in particular or painted him for a change?

I have had these for years and always thought them too dated to fit in with the Victorian Chinese adventures in my head.  I have a palace guard thing in mind now and although nearly three hundred years too late I think I will also press them into service as allies for my Choson Koreans as Ming hvy. inf. - I'm not that much of a purist ;D

cheers
