That's the one! Oh the memories  :'( The joy of being able to browse... Anyway, back to reality. Another favourite here. Reminds me of a painting in one of Turnbull's books.

Superb!  :-* I've still got a box of these unpainted some where, if I ever get time I'll dig out the Turnbull books and have another go at them.

Someone posted earlier that the sculpts aren't the best, and I'd have to agree. Your painting, however, is spot on and really brings out the character in these. 's a fine looking bunch of models here. :)

The figure carrying the wooden spear, wearing the peasant 'hat', was the most disappointing. The other figures were better.

If I remember my 15mm days correctly, the wooden spear chap is Naismith, the others Dixon, formerly Two Dragons (unless it's the other way around).

Ah yes, that makes sense. I don't remember my 15mm days correctly  :?
