Outstanding  8)

The pinstriped are brilliant but I'm mostly taken by the texture of Watson's vest and trousers... Wow.

What he said.
That 'wool' effect is stunning!
The pinstripes aint too shoddy either.... ::)

It really is a nice effect (the wool that is) anyone know who the sculptor is? The style looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Light over dark. I've learned the hard way it's a lot easier to apply light stripes more prominently over raised areas, than it is to put dark stripes into the crevices. It's just white paint with some retarder medium to keep it nice and runny.
That's what I've found as well. Your work looks a fair bit better than mine of course, lol.

The Doctor is a work of art.  Don't know how you got that tweed effect (and I marvel at the steady hand that produced those pinstripes).

Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Did you say you were available for more pinstripes?

I was thinking of a unit of chartered accountants, say, oh, twenty strong, backed by some, maybe half dozen heavy auditors.

Do let me know...  lol

Sadly I went to the extreme length of dislocating my thumb and snapping a ligament to dodge doing any more pinstripes for a while. Brutal yet effective.

Paint jobs are spectacular. Love the Watson sculpt, but if the other fig is supposed to be Robert Downey Jr. I'm not super impressed with the concept they chose. I would have done him in the hat and sunglasses. There's nothing about that figure that makes him distinctive. He could be any generic Victorian man. Perhaps I am mistaken and this is some other Sherlock I am not aware of?

The fun one, sadly. I'm left trying to teach the stupid hand to do useful stuff. It really can't. It just sits there drooling and flapping about randomly.
