Title: Shelf Queen - Farmer Jan
Post by: Gunbird on January 06, 2019, 09:11:08 PM: Back when Battlegroup released the optional rules for Refugees, I jumped right on it. Converted a lot of stuff, and then it died (as most of my projects do).

6-12 months ago I dragged Farmer Jan from his box of refugees and finished off his cap and some details of the bike.......but again, he vanished in the box.

But this year, I just want to get shit done, so what better moment than the Shelf Queen build over at the Wargamers Forum..... The flesh is shit, I have not painted that in years. The blue overall looks more like an Iranian Chemical suit. And the rest is ok-ish. But he is done and ready for the table. So there.

No I don‘t but then I‘m no 20mm guy. But what I can tell is that you‘ve done a lovely job there, both painting and converting.

Is it that twat from Dexy’s Midnight Runners?

Nice work, the glasses give him an Eric Morecambe look.

Yup, headswap, extra cargo and clogs instead of sandals, plus excessive sanding of the sleeves to make them less baggy. Well spotted :)
