Figures for Indochina 1954
« on: August 28, 2025, 03:26:24 AM »
Set out below are some photos from my painting guy:

- A 105mm howitzer crew (for 10th Colonial Artillery Regiment, ready for Dien Bien Phu);
- An 81mm mortar team for my commandos (who had a charming ability to "liberate" heavy weapons that were not on their official TO&E); and
- A few surrendering figures (which are intended to serve as melee markers in my Bolt Action games).

Very nice pieces, the gun set has come of particularly well.

Very cool. I am also looking for a painter to tackle my lead pile. What standard did you go for?

Folks - thanks for your comments.

The figures were painted to "Museum Standard".  For me, the spectacle of a wargame, with well-painted figures and terrain, is the critical thing.

You are definitely getting your money’s worth though I am eyeing the middle standard given the size of pile.

So that's wot they call 'museum standard' is it?
Interested to learn how much would a single figure set you back?
 ???

Unlike most painting services this particular one has a price list viewable on their site.
