Title: Somewhere in the East - 1st Crusade (Clergy, Pilgrims)
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on 13 March 2016, 12:03:30 PM

my first LPL 10 entry "On the market". A bit of a wild mixed bunch of Arabian and Indian citizens, manufactured by Perry brothers and Eureka. 23 newly painted figures, I don't think I ever managed to paint so much for an LPL entry, although the miniatures were very easy to paint and I didn't care much about freehands (unfortunately..) but you know, that's the point, what are you going to do with the miniatures and how many time are you ready to spend on painting them. I wanted a lot of people on the picture, hence I had to give any fancy clothings and go for a more easier version. Anyway, here we go, a lot of pictures..

No, Peder, it's Queen Zenobia of Palmyra (by A&A miniatures). She's been part of one of my entries to LPL8:

Stunning work, Alex.
For favourite entry for the first round.
 :-* :-*

As an entry for a single round in the LPL they are simply amazing.
So much work.
 :o

(In fact, you have painted more miniatures for a single round than I normally manage in several months.
And to a much higher standard. Such smooth brushwork. I think that I now have to hate you as well.  >:D ;)).

Every picture tells a story, intriguing posing of the figures, very well handled.  All the figures have been sympatheticly painted and the backgrounds , giving the appearance of alleyways , almost cinematic in its concept. Outstanding .

They are excellent. Funnily enough, though I'm familiar with Eureka I've never really looked at their civilians range as closely as I might have  o_o ???

Title: Somewhere in the East - 1st Crusade (Clergy, Pilgrims)
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on 08 May 2016, 11:49:36 AM

just back from the ninth round of LPL , finally something historical again! The 1st Crusade. For this one I’ve painted three of Perry packs from their beautiful 1st Crusade range. Some connection to one of my previous LPL entries at the beginnign of this thread can probably be seen.

I sincerely hope that I’ll find some time and motivation to stay on that fascinating topic for a while and continue this project in the next months or years. There are still lots of beautiful miniatures to paint in the mentioned Perry’s range.

Beautiful brushwork as usual, Alex.

Some great figure choices in there as well.
It does seem that the Perry's are the men to go to for miniatures of an ecclesiastical persuasion.

I am loving your LPL entries this year, and I just hope that it does not cause any burnout with such a high number of figures in each round.

I'm actually usually avoiding the Perry figures because of them being on the small side with all the tiny details but this time I could stop myself from trying to paint a larger group of them and fortunately and wasn't that bad :) These ones are particularly less detailed. Now I really hope to continue on this topic!

Still not sure about Perry's NWF Brits..Very tempting but all these little details..
