Love the Wee free men, what did you use for the miniatures?
-
Ditto
Wanted to do wee free men for a long time. These look great.
Can't wait to find out where they are from. Is the carriage a kit or scratch built?
All the scene needs is a pack of old sailor tobacco :)
-
Brilliantly done. The Wee Free Men are a whole lot muscular looking than I visualise them. I always see them as small blue versions of MacDonald Fraser's Private McAuslan(If you've never read this trilogy of short stories, I thoroughly recommend it as the best account available of soldiering in the British army in the immediate post war years and will leave you with tears running doen your face).

God! Best vignette ever.
-
Such a delightful vignette!
That said, the Japanese townsfolk are great, too. I'm all for more civilian figures.

I like the wee frees, too, and especially the wagon, very stylish and well done executed.
Thanks for the kind compliment.
But the town-folk is waaaaay too shiny. The spray from that manufacturer is of no use anymore. They changed their recipe. Using army painter, but the nossle is clogging regularly. :-[
Need to check out Malibu or Tamia.

Rescuing? they appear to be playing a game of sheep tipping
-
Thanks guys. Drachenklinge - they may be a bit shiny, but they are lovely figures and really nicely painted.
If I remember correctly the Wee Free Men are Pendraken 10mm Barbarians and Fanatics.
Granny Aching's hut is by Petite Properties and is a MDF kit, with plasticard corrugated sheets from Antenocitis Workshop. The interior is also fitted out and painted - which is where you'll find the Jolly Sailor tobacco pouches. (more pics after the competition if people are interested)
Tiffany is by Micro Art Studios - another from their Discworld range.
I know the Feegles are a lot bigger than they should be, but in 6mm they were far too small to see any detail lol
@ Gray Ghost - "Rescuing" is how they explained it to Tiffany when she confronted them. After all, they couldn't leave it on it's own out on the hills, in all sorts of weather could they?
-
Definitely interested in more pictures later
-
Yes - deffo more pics please!
-
Loved the negotiation but have to admit the Wee Free made me laugh. Great jobs on both sets.
-
The Oriental civvies are nice, always good to see more civilians, but the gloss varnish really doesn't do them any favours.
I'd always pictured the WFM as being smaller than that, relative to humans, but that is an awesome diorama piece!

Fantastic Pratchett Diorama.

Wonderful, Thargor.
-
Thank you for the comments chaps, high praise from people whose paint jobs I regularly admire on this forum.
I've just ordered some bits and pieces for my next Pratchett inspired scene - Granny Weatherwax's Cottage.
-
The voting may swing until weekend ... but somehow, I doubt it. lol
Congratulation, Thargor, well earned victory with a nice setting!

Thanks DK. I'm sure the difference is not as big as the voting suggests.

Outstanding! The wee free men are my faves of the comp so far :-*
Nice paintwork Drachenklinge, but you were unlucky to get such an inspired adversery.

Thanks a lot, THAT is always the challenge in here but also what makes the LPL oh so interesting.
