MAIWAND (big pictures)
« on: December 14, 2011, 05:20:35 PM »
Hi all

For a starter and for those of you who haven't seen it, here's my latest work in 28mm, depicting the last stand of the 66th (the last eleven).

Most of the figures are from the Perry Sudan range, with the according conversión work done to represent as accurate as posible the uniform worn by the 66th Berkshires during that desastrous event.  The dog (Bobby) is from scratch as I didn’t seem to find  “the one”  in the comercial market.

Here a a bunch of pics (big ones) so you can see all the  brush strokes and the way the work. For those of you who don’t like such big screeners, just resize at will.

And, as an extra,  I've also added some WIP pictures of the planning and initial works on the figures ( you'll see that some of them didn't make it) plus the Bobbie "green".

Hope you enjoy it.

Stunning-stunning-stunning!!!!!
Very reminiscent of Bill Horan's work. For me that is the highest compliment I can pay. Did I say it was stunning :o
