Recently painted 15mm Essex and 18mm Blue Moon on parade

Since weather and the local transit system conspired to postpone last night's planned game, here are some photos of my recent painting.

With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Thanks for posting - I have those villagers in line on my painting table as I type (which is where I will be in just a few moments).  Curious as to why you went so strong with the red colors on the natives - can you enlighten us, please?

Also, pure curiosity question, wondering if you knew the late Anthony "Tony" Mark who would have been more down Philadelphia way in the early sixties - but he might have been someone you knew since it was likely a pretty small fraternity back then?  He was a very good friend to me and much missed since his passing in '09.  He was half Italian, half Chinese and quite the raconteur.  Many a good laugh around the gaming table when he was present. 

Love Blue Moon's various ranges, many a hole in my collection filled from that wonderful panoply of figures.

Red colors on the natives; I used three basic shades of brown and the red brown just looked better at the time. Also, the digital camera seems to intensify it.

No, I never had the pleasure of meeting Tony Mark. It sounds like I missed a boon companion. I'm also half Chinese. The other half is more complex.
