Workers militia, mainly Musketeer and a couple of Anglian figures.(http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv266/Adey123/WM1.jpg)

Finally worked out how to post images and it's such a relief.

The caps and the eyes do it. These are stunning. How did you go about painting the caps.

Thanks for the post.

The caps aren't that difficult really. Base colourand then black equally spaced lines to form squares and lighter lines between. The only proviso is the use of a very fine brush, a Windsor & Newton series 7 miniature brush to be exact.

Very nicely done all round. I think some of these figures could work for other Interwar conflicts as well.

Those figures are spectacular. The shading, eyes, detailing are tremendous. What great looking figures to have on your gaming table. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent stuff, and you are too modest about getting the check on the caps.

It looks easy enough at first, doesn't it? ;)

Excellent work. I love the look of these miniatures, especially that whole 'this isn't my job' feel about them. Still wearing their work clothes and suits.

The figures are really beautifully painted - awsome.....how long did it take you to complete them?
Title: Re: Newly painted workers militia
Post by: Adey on 10 August 2009, 10:34:12 AM
The figures took around 36 hours with many interuptions and spread over a week.
Here's a few more painted for me old mucker BillT of Musketeer Miniatures.

I am not sure if it is the same ones but I seen these ones in the flesh the other day at the claymore show on the Musketeer stand.
If they were yours stunning work.  :-* :-*
Made me think about starting this period.

The very same figures gamer Mac. Did the BEF Scots too
Title: Re: Newly painted workers militia
Post by: gamer Mac on 10 August 2009, 08:38:15 PM
The Scots were gorgeous as well.  :-* :-*
I have been trying to figure how they would fit into a pulp game or a VSF game. To give me an excuse to buy them. :D
Have you posted pictures of them on the forum ???

Title: Re: Newly painted workers militia
Post by: Adey on 10 August 2009, 09:06:49 PM
Yes they're here in the WW1 section about half way down the first page Musketeer posted and the title is Painted highlanders.

Thanks :D
My memory must be going because I posted on that thread as well. Didn't remember you had painted them as well, sorry :D
I still can't get away with how neat the socks are. I am trying some  blackwatch at the moment and the best I can manage is plain red hatching. Not very neat either. Looks ok from a distance (about 6"). Yours are great even close up :o :o :o

Very very nice stuff.
