Title: Svennns Ramblings In The Orient Through The Ages (Edit 30-5-16)
Post by: Svennn on June 28, 2013, 09:29:15 PM: As everything I do seems to have a bit of a theme I have decided to start this one topic suits all thread for my posts.

Being on holiday this week I was determined to get something under the brush and set myself a target of one a day, I am pleased to say I succeeded :)

First up I wanted to do a four bearer version of the recent Redoubt sedan chair, Foundry figures and all plastikard

(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w198/svennnthedhnut/2-DSCF0101_zps2824abe2.jpg) (http://s176.photobucket.com/user/svennnthedhnut/media/2-DSCF0101_zps2824abe2.jpg.html)(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w198/svennnthedhnut/3-DSCF0103_zpsea88dcc5.jpg) (http://s176.photobucket.com/user/svennnthedhnut/media/3-DSCF0103_zpsea88dcc5.jpg.html)

Tuesday I finished off these Tsuba Japanese that had been on my desk for too long. So long in fact I could not remember what paints I had used to base coat them so had some fun mixing shades.

I also knocked these out, not my favourite figures tbh but I bought them blind and they were undercoated. Redoubt Japanese cavalry from the Boxer range

Some Westwind civilians

and finally today I finally got around to adding to my Perry Choson Koreans, just the one mind

the two ladies are Redoubt. I think they are trying too hard to fit both China and Japan. The chap in the middle I knocked up in greenstuff a few years ago but never liked. I changed the weapon and slapped the paint on him to get him off the workbench.

Post by: Svennn on February 03, 2014, 04:18:30 PM: Yep, they are John Jenkins Designs - the best range by far but alas no longer available. I see the painting service John is/was involved in still uses these castings from their ebay listings so I presume they have the moulds?
Title: Re: Svennns Ramblings In The Orient Through The Ages (Edit 3-2)
Post by: Dewbakuk on February 03, 2014, 04:23:16 PM: There is still an entry for them on the website it just doesn't list any packs.... I think someone said you could get them if you contacted JJD. Of course without any pics of the range, how are you supposed to know what to ask for?
Title: Re: Svennns Ramblings In The Orient Through The Ages (Edit 3-2)
Post by: Svennn on February 03, 2014, 04:34:16 PM: JJD (UK) listed a heading for them too but only the undead ones were ever offered and they have gone now as well.

I have quite a few different packs but only one of each and pics I saved years ago, I bought all mine in Hong Kong whilst on a business trip. I think I still have the header cards but it would be tricky to match my pile of loose metal to them for the codes.

No, I have had to do left handed before. Believe it or not the second set of four infantry are my first using a full black undercoat instead of white. I was happy with them but they were no quicker and I had to change and think through how to do some of the colours, everything I have painted so far since has been on white.

Ming Heavy Sword from Forlorn Hope

Post by: Svennn on June 18, 2014, 07:55:45 PM: Been awhile (again!!) I have finished a few more bits but they have mainly been additions and duplicates of stuff shown before. But I did finish this chariot today.

It is the same model as the purple Generals one but I did not want two (and I had already painted the commander as a foot figure for an infantry unit) so I scratch built a new front and sides and swapped out the crew.

I have started re-doing the Foundry pirates after I traded the originals

Its an SHQ miniature and although he seemed very much true 25mm when I was painting him he does scale up really well with the Mike Owen Cavalcade / Forlorn Hope sculpts. I bought a few others from the range, all blind as there are no pics on the website, and they are ok too - all seem to be directly from Osprey illustrations.

Post by: Svennn on April 19, 2016, 05:07:44 PM: It has been a very long time but I finally got a little time and I managed another unit for my Warring States army. Previously I had been doing these pretty drab but decided to inject a bit of colour this time.

(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w198/svennnthedhnut/1-DSCF1054_zpsdkwv5ch5.jpg) (http://s176.photobucket.com/user/svennnthedhnut/media/1-DSCF1054_zpsdkwv5ch5.jpg.html)

I did these very quickly and I was on quite a roll so I did crossbowmen to accompany them (back rows are the same figures from above).

and as I thought the blue worked quite nicely I did a unit in green too

(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w198/svennnthedhnut/3-DSCF1056_zps0fgqa4gb.jpg) (http://s176.photobucket.com/user/svennnthedhnut/media/3-DSCF1056_zps0fgqa4gb.jpg.html)
