I always tried to get around these little sideshow...until I grabbed a handfull of Empress blisters at the last do or dice convention...

really cool Hicks work.

I started with a few maoris...more to come.
Even tried a few facial tattoos...probably too small to be seen on the table.

I am going to paint these littlee project more on the comic side of things, so I am not too interested in histrocal background, sorry...

Cheers,
Don

Nice work again DV, like the detail on the bottom of the Chiefs robe especially

Plain cool.

Any topic touched by the talented hands of Mr Hicks seems to put a spell on people. Me included.

Lovely work on these, I got hooked and now have over 100 of them! They are like pringles, once you pop, you cant stop

mind you the new eureka ones are lovely and match up a treat too

Great work

I think that the tattoos will work very well at the tabletop level. This is an era that I have been resisting but fear that I am going to be sucked into. Must resist, must resist

Looking great.

It would be interesting to get a close-up of how you did the tattoos. On my Empress figures, I left off the tattoos altogether, as I just couldn't get them to look right after trials with a fine paintbrush and even a very sharp lead pencil. But it appears you've succeeded ...

Very nice, as usual. You are a flipping prolific painter

How do you find the time?!

Stunning looking figures and those tattoos....Wow!

Looks great! I especially like the details on the blanket of Hone Heke's - the dude in the cap and an ancestor of mine.

Facial tattoos are really hard to do, and to get them to look half-decent from tabletop distance - yours seem to work quite nicely. I quite like the shoulder and arm tatts - Ngapuhi didn't really do that sort of thing at that time, but who cares? it looks great! Some iwi/hapu preferred to do these linear kind of tatts on the buttocks and thighs, but that's beyond my ability to do on 28mm figures!

Thanks for posting!
