LordOdo that's the best title and idea of scene I've seen in a while, which one is Slugdroll? And is he 11 or 111111?

Thanks! Slugdroll is the troll, and as I've no idea how Trolls get older, and how long troll years take I've just put something ;)

Copplestone Castings- a great range  :).

Cool Troll L O  8)

To be honest I think they're actually 18mm, that's not much but combined with Copplestone's sculpting it makes them a lot easier to paint than most 15s

My thanks to Lordodo without whom I would not even be here   :)

I am very impressed with the 15mm.  The detail is amazing.  Something I dread with the passage of time and inflation.

Worked fine in Firefox, on both my Macbook and ipad.

I have to agree on the 15's looking like 25's. Wow!  o_o  :o o_o

I'm using IE 8, and I was able to view all of the pictures but that one. As much as I like the work on the 15mm Copplestone Barbarians, it would be unfair of me to vote without having seen the alternative.

I experienced difficulties seeing the second pic too.

Changet to IE so I can see it.

Amazing work with those 15mm barbarians.

Wow! Another "those are 15mm?" from me!

Astonishing paintjob Bugsda.

The whole concept of the troll birthday party is brilliant! That needs to be a comic strip, it cracks me up. Nice one LordOdo.

Bugsda you must have somehow magically have expanded those figs to life size, painted them and then used a shrinking machine to get them back to wargames size

Those are just incredible :o

Does that take much getting used to?

I bought one and almost never use it, I find it really hard to get the mini in exactly the right spot to avoid distortion. I think like any tool it requires some practice.

It was a bit uncomfortable at first but compared to an asbestos stripping mask it was nothing, you've just got to tough it out 'till you get used to it.

I'm more or less blind in the left eye so it's easy for me to get the figure in the right spot Doc, I've only got one eye to line the figure up with, there's an upside to everything  lol

Have you got pictures of minis you painted wearing the asbestos stripping mask?  :D ;D

No, It didn't really help so I stopped using it  lol

God it gets more like the X factor every time! Any old sob story to gain a vote, I bet your budgie's got the black lung too?...  ;)  lol

(Obviously I'm only joking, I really hope your budgie hasn't got the black lung otherwise I'd just feel awful).    :'(
