Title: Viva la Revolution
Post by: Stéphane on February 05, 2009, 01:51:45 PM

Here the first guerilleros miniatures for my new projet:

(http://perso.club-internet.fr/theilsb/CI_Albums/Figus/CI_guerrilleros.jpg)

They are 15mm and come from Peter Pig. It's a big pleasure to paint they. Very easy, godd detail but not a lot. Very fine for a speedy painting record  :D

The gouvernement forces from the Guardia Nationale will comming soon ;)

Very nice as always!

Is that your new project?

Like before, I can't believe that they are 15 mm figures. At first glance I thought they were 28 mm. Painting is outstanding.

Outstanding.  As gamer mac says they look more like 28s than 15s.  Wow!!

Yes !
In the first time I will use they for the sandiniste guerilla in Nicaragua and in the second time I will probably use they like Picaros for a pulpish projet :

I will use my own rules "beyond all frontiers". I use it with my legionaries  (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=8020.0)and bedouins (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=8305.0). But I try a new dimension with my guerilleros ;)

Wow. Love them. And for 15mm, they're really 'intense'. Beautifully done Stephane.

I too thought they were 28mm  ;D

Cracking painting and no mean feat with Peter Pig figures I tried myself once

This is my try to make some buildings for the game.

I try to make a little village or Managua's suburb area.

Nice work on the buildings and figures. They look useful for AK47 style games as well.

As always very good!
As I have moved aways from the 15mm scale I do not follow the new appearances etc.
Have you found some suitable Tintin figures?
and anything for San Teodoro (or what the name is in Frence) troops?

Title: Re: Viva la Revolution
Post by: Stéphane on February 12, 2009, 02:56:43 PM

I've found no miniautres in 15mm for tintin and his fellow (even the dog)  :'(

Museum Miniatures have some animals in 15mm, but at present the only dogs they have are mastiffs. Might be useful for guard dogs though ?
http://www.museumminiatures.co.uk/pages/index.htm

I'm sure I have seen a dog somewhere that might be suitable - perhaps a 10mm scale one.
Captain Haddock shouldn't be too difficult to source.

Post by: argsilverson on February 17, 2009, 11:13:15 AM

some suitable animals can be found in Irregular miniatures, a couple of dogs included!
http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/

not really suitable for TinTin & Co!

Nice Managua you have!

Title: Re: Viva la Revolution
Post by: Stéphane on February 18, 2009, 12:34:16 PM

Some building more (wainting to be painted) and some test for electric stick and vegetation (I wainting my palm trees).

Nice buildings. The dry brush to the roofs really adds to the "realism" of the dirtiness.

Title: Re: Viva la Revolution
Post by: gamer Mac on February 18, 2009, 01:20:23 PM

Really coming together. Very nicely.
And very fast?

Some other pictures quickly taken. You could see my scratching electric poles. I've making one twentyth yesterday evening. They must be textured and painting.

Tropical thunder storm in the offing.
Very nice.
Phone poles look good.
Still can't believe this is all 15 mm. Great detail

Title: Re: Viva la Revolution
Post by: Stéphane on February 20, 2009, 10:37:30 AM

Some looters, civils and journalists (where is Nick Nolte ? :mrgreen: )

(http://perso.club-internet.fr/theilsb/CI_Albums/Figus/CI_guerrilleros_3.jpg)

Wonderful! This thread got me digging around for my copy of TinTin and the Picaros. Will General Alcazar be making an appearance?
Keep it up! I am inspired!  :D
