I've got about 40 Front Rank and North Star 1672 figures that I painted (years ago), and I've just sent another batch off to the brilliant Redzed for painting. But I kept a few back to do myself as an occasional amuse-bouche

Here's a mounted officer and his man... The officer is one of those figures that has sat primed on the shelf for literally about ten years. I finally got tired of looking at him gathering dust

I think a few small games of The Pikeman's Lament set in this period will be great fun, and I also still have a Lorna Doone-set project in the back of my mind.

The foot figure is an artilleryman, but I've given him a pistol and a Green Stuff mitt instead of his linstock

I know of a perfect ECW range for doing the Doones... New out, lots of very dynamic chaps in buff coats, with odds and sods of armour...You may even be familiar with it yourself :-P

Lovely work Richard

The reds are spot on

I love the touch of rouge on the Gentleman Officers cheek, an excellent touch and very fitting for the period.

Yes, when I saw those new figs, that was exactly what I thought - Lorna Doone!

Hmmm.... Funny you should say that.
The next release from Bloody Miniatures may well include a pack of disreputable looking moss troopers in Dutch coats, floppy hats, and armed to the teeth

Possibly.
All being well.

Those really are lovely and you paint so well I cannot fathom why you send stuff out for painting - though I do note you have sent them on to a superb painter

Lovely painting. Some new late c.17th sculpts would be super!

Honestly Kerry, it's because I just have so much lead I want to get painted and use from time to time, and I just don't have time to paint it all myself. Being a 'good' painter is a time-consuming thing

Plus I love Shaun's (Redzed's) painting style. It's quite like my own - only more so!

Lovely painting on those figures

They are lovely!

(Moss Troopers you say - whoop! 👍)

Funny, I finished my small unit for a skirmish a month ago. Great figures (1672 by Northstar), but never expanded. One of the problematic ranges by Copplestone, started like the Back of Beyond and then a victim of his missing discipline I’m afraid.
Your painting is brilliant. I think a plastic range would raise your troops from 40 to 200, right?

Gorgeous painting (as always) on good figures.
And, Moss Troopers..........veeeery interesting
