Trent Miniatures and Wargames foundry figures who will shortly be seen in our forthcoming Robin Hood campaign.
I must admit I rushed these to get them finished for a game and am not best pleased with the results especially when viewed close up ::)
Here is the inspiration for the campaign:

Its full of wonderful scenario ideas and all sorts of secondary characters who will be apearing on the tabletop. which means lots more painting to do. :o
I hadn't remembered how sad the tales are as....(PLOT SPOILER) almost every major character dies by the end of the book...... :'(

Lovely! Thanks for sharing.

Lovely figures and book takes me back to my boyhood. Anyone recall the Billy Connelly sketch about Robin Hood dying in a tenement in Glasgow it was superb. Of course that was a long, long time ago when the Big Yin was actually funny.

That was a long time ago ;)
But in his heyday, I grant you, a very funny man.

They look really good.
Where did you get the robinhood book?

I have been informed that he is of the type that does not like to dirty his own hands.
He has serfs that do all the actual work for him.

Well she won't be able to take possession until the builders have finished and you know how unreliable they can be. ;)

Well you know the builders can't start until after the architects have finished their design but what are they waiting for to show their clients ...... ??? lol

Excellent job, what do you think is wrong with them?
Marion would look better if she had eyeballs, an opinion not a criticism 8)

The maginfication has showed up the slapdash way in which I apply the paint. lol
Marian's eyes did give me a headache, in the end I bottled out of painting them, I used to, but seem to have lost the knack now ::)
-
I blame Blood for the current state of affairs in relation to eyeballs going AWOL...
;)

Eyeballs are an unnecessary distraction in 28mm. That's my story and I'm sticking to it... ;)

I agree with you 100%
Because of this, I no longer feel the need to paint them myself unless I feel like it.

Marian only has eyes for Robin :D

Are you familiar with Howard Pyle's Robin Hood?
If not google "howard pyle" "robin hood" and check out the images.
Pyle was a great author as well as a phenomenal illustartor from the golden age.
Thanks
