Post by: elysium64 on 22 April 2012, 06:18:15 PM: I would like to thank John of http://www.commandominiatures.com/index.html who very kindly sent me a free set of advance castings of these figures, Lovely models. I sculpted with G/S the beards as his SAS heads are not yet available (he gave me one at SALUTE, very nice too).
This entry was a real bugger as the Gun and building where late editions, and with work I had less time to paint. On Friday night I had to paint from 9pm when I got in from work, fortunately the 25 pdr had arrived that day, until 6 am Saturday morning, a quick refresh then off to SALUTE at 8am, I didn't stay til end, just waited for LAF meet up heading home at 2pm.
Thansants, lovely models, beautifully painted and in a great setting, really nice entry.

Post by: Emir of Askaristan on 23 April 2012, 11:30:03 PM: I don't normally vote on these things but it's great to see the commando stuff painted. And equally great to see the old citadel amazons again too. Well done !

Post by: Dr Mathias on 24 April 2012, 05:28:35 AM: I had no idea of what miniatures you could possibly use when I saw that title Thantsants :) I was pleasantly surprised... I don't think I've seen anyone paint those before. Nice work!

Nice little scene Elysium, and fantastic job keeping the muted colors separate and clear on those soldiers.
