Title: Christmas Painting; Scary Snowmen
Post by: Atheling on 02 January 2016, 07:37:27 AM

More silliness :)

These were presented to my Mum in the place of the usual Christmas cards. She was quite pleased at her "unorthodox cards" :)

More pics and all the gumph can be seen and read on my Just Add Water Blog here:

Thanks guys- all a bit of a laugh really- just lots of dry brushing thankfully as WWI Truce, Poirot and Miss Marple were not so simple.

WWI; Truce:

Poirot and Miss Marple:

Still, not bad for about 8 hours work (inc. WWI Truce, Poirot and Marple) but that doesn't include breaks :)

Cheers,
Darrell.

That backs up my ideas about the EVIL nature of snow. The miniatures & paint jobs are OUTSTANDINGLY WELL DONE!
