The figures are coming along nicely too. 

Cheers Nick! I must admitt, your new releases really fired up my interest in the period again (I knew they would!) and I've only recently re-started painting them. The aim is to use the lure of new shineys to get most of my backlog finished before giving in to the urge to buy more!

My painting dont really do Nicks stuff justice but here is a couple of the range.

Great stuff Tim.

Nice to see your Veramendi Palace seeing some action too

Tim, those figures look very nice, however....

.... not wanting to be critical here, but have you considered trying to use the natural light coming from behind or slightly to one side of the camera? The figures would look even better and all the detail would be clearer. Also, think of using a plain white or sky blue etc background to enhance the clarity. Setting the figures in front of the building is a good idea, but try and put them on a bit of sandy coloured terrain or piece of cloth and this combined with the right lighting source would turn that into a great pic.

The Presidiales and Texians are far more important than the mug and I bet they will look fantastic with better lighting

Not trying to be critical, I just love seeing well painted pics in a well-lit pic

Quite agree Glutenous, im not good at taking pictures so a mate took them on her phone and it was a bit of a rush job too. Will try to get some proper ones taken somehow as i like to see decent ones myself. Thanks for the tips though, very usefull and much appreciated thanks.

Blimey! Those phone cameras are getting very good  I never usually bother with mine, but I'll certainly try it at the next wargames show I go to.

Look forward to seeing your figures in all their glory

11 packs ordered. I have to say you're a bastard Nick as I was only planning on buying "1 or 2" sample packs, but I realized I couldn't decide on which ones and had to have all of the Texians. But then I realized there was no one for them to fight and had to buy all the Presidials and some Mexican Officers too. I wasn't planning on getting into this period, but can't resist 19th century "personalities."

I'm curious what draws a Brit to the Texas War of Independence? Phil Collins has basically devoted his life to The Alamo too. I guess it just surprises me a bit, that's all.

And what else has Matt sculpted? His style looks familiar to me? Did he do some of the Conquest minis stuff?

Looking forward to the Mexican Soldiers--please post greens soon!

You can thank Disney's Davy Crockett followed by John Wayne for my obsession with the period.

 He hasnt worked for Conquest, but has produced some stunning figures for Reaper Miniatures amongst others

Looking forward to the Mexican Soldiers--please post greens soon!

Hopefully the end of feb/beginning of march

Same here Nick !

Muchas Gracias Amigos
