Mongrel Minis Arabs
« on: July 28, 2008, 02:43:54 AM »
I haven't put anything up in a while so I thought I would post some Mongrel Minis Arabs I painted up a few months ago. They are fantastic figures. I've done a few more I'll photo when I get around to it. I love these figures.

Wow! Those are really nice. Excellent work.

Those scarfs are terrific - and the lines down the dark tracksuit! And the Brazil football top (correct?)!  :-* :-* :-*

What he said! Great cammo trousers also. Very subtle painting and excellent basing.

Very nicely done.  :-*  :-*

Isn't that a young Colonel Gaddafi with the RPG?  ;)

Thanks for the comments! Vanvlak well spotted! The figure has a real young looking face so I imagined he would want something snazzy and someone once told me that the Brazilian team is really popular, especially in the "third world".

I only have two more done actually. I'll have to shoot them soon. They were alot of fun to paint. I enjoyed figuring out how to do the keffiyah and the woodland camo. Both got easier as I went along. The keffiyah is tricky, I'm still not a 100% satisfied.

Nice job SG. Very clean and at the same time the blending is nice and subtle.

Very well done.  What game do you use them for?

Thanks for all the positive feedback again.

Aesthete, I really just got them to paint but if I find an opponent and rule set I'd be happy to play. Somebody came out with a ruleset for Lebanon recently. I think it was that double named Coffin for Seven Brothers/Disposable Heroes thing. Its quite a mouthful.
