The Knights look great. You might need more "painted" shelves now...

Outstanding work and workload.

Do you ever actually sleep?

More good work there Pete, the elves also look good - and quite a bit of room generated on the "to be painted" shelf :-)/

Thanks Gregor. Not 'quite a bit of room' , but a few gaps have opened up.  :D

Cheers Syrinx. True, I might need more 'Painted' shelves, that is why I am having a clear out. Hopefully starting this weekend. :)

Thank you Spinal. I do sleep, quite a lot. Two things help with the painting time. I'm retired & a very understanding wife.  :D

By "understanding" do you mean, as in my case, "prefers me to be out of the way"?

They, and the teepees are Timpo, or copies of Timpo. They do come up on eBay, often in job lots of Western figures.
Originally sold with 54mm Indians. They are much more suited to 28mm.
The Teepees are too flat for my liking, but a dousing in boiling water let me mould/bend them into a more 3D shape.

Man I had those exact same teepees and totem poles as a kid from some cowboy vs indian cheap set.
I can rememeber me and my brother setting them up in the garden when I was what 6? 7?

Yours turned out really well.

I always chuckle at these play sets mixing up the planes tribes tee-pees with the pacific Northwest tribes totems.  You did great work on both but the contents of these play sets do hit my sense of funny.
