(http://www.freewebs.com/matakishi/Afghans%20WIP%207%201000.jpg)

I have four extra Taliban to do tomorrow which arrived late because I changed my mind about the unit organisation. Then it's basing and photos over the weekend of the finished force.

Two weeks, 62 figures (including the donkeys), that's four units + command and personalities. British next.

Title: Re: Afghans (WIPs) final set including Osama
Post by: 6milPhil on 12 August 2010, 11:23:10 PM: I know there's tons of bells and whistles on the web site but I've yet to suss how you find a certain reaper mini to buy it.

(http://www.freewebs.com/matakishi/Afghans%20WIP%208%201000.jpg)

2 weeks exactly to paint these. Basing tomorrow, photos on Sunday if the weather holds for the varnishing. Generally I'm pretty pleased with them.
Title: Re: Afghans (WIPs) Big final pic of everyone before basing.
Post by: Steve F on 13 August 2010, 06:00:24 PM: Are you basing them with Marmite?

Quite apart from everything else, i am always knocked out by the organisation and discipline of your projects.

Post by: Bravo Six on 13 August 2010, 08:37:58 PM: Nice work Paul. Who makes the standing and captured Saddam? I don't recognize those figures as TAG sculpts.

Post by: abhorsen950 on 13 August 2010, 08:53:07 PM: I would be pleased if I was you, some very nice models in that collection, well all of them are nice, but I prefer some to others ;)

keep up the excellent work.

Post by: matakishi on 13 August 2010, 09:01:14 PM: Thank you all for your kind words :)

@Todd -The Saddam figures were a limited offer a while back if you ordered stuff. A birthday giveaway I think. If you write to Pete he may have some left.
Title: Re: Afghans (WIPs) Big final pic of everyone before basing.
Post by: matakishi on 15 August 2010, 07:53:28 PM: Here we are then, all done after 15 days of effort and a lot of fun. Bigger pics on my site of course.

Post by: elysium64 on 16 August 2010, 12:31:47 AM: Wonderful stuff Paul, I cant wait to see these in the flesh. I can't believe the quantity you have painted in two weeks for me that would be a year and I would be happy :D
Title: Re: Afghans. All done, finished, final pics etc.
Post by: carlos marighela on 16 August 2010, 12:33:19 AM: Fantastic work. Where did the mounted chap come from? I presume it's a conversion of two or more figures.
Title: Re: Afghans. All done, finished, final pics etc.
Post by: Calimero on 16 August 2010, 12:33:59 AM: Awesome stuff. The way you finished the bases really make the painting on the figures "pop-up"
Title: Re: Afghans. All done, finished, final pics etc.
Post by: matakishi on 16 August 2010, 12:42:40 AM: Thanks, I'm quite pleased with them :)

The mounted commander is a standard figure from The Assault group.
