Jonas' VSF 2010 (Danish VSF Department, Jylland Chapter)

[Jonas]

I am making a new thread for 2010, the last one got really messy and I think that I am more aware of which direction to go now... maybe 


I finished my Loyal Sikh Cavalry (Old Glory) but I do need to put a flag on the standard bearer (any suggestions?).


Ankylosaurus (From local supermarket), Buddha statue (Local pound store) og Venusian Mantrap (Ramshackle Games).


Venusian Mantrap (Ramshackle Games)


Lord Cornwall, now with an Empress head.


Lady and Lord Cornwall (Lady Cornwall from Wargames Foundry)


An old picture of Lord Cornwall, before headswap, that time he was named "Flat Nose" Stanton...

More to come, I have a Quatermain on the workbench, just needs basing.

[Chairface]

Excellent stuff Jonas! Lord Cornwall looks great with the head swap.

[Whiskyrat]

I like Lord Cornwall - very nice.

I finished my Loyal Sikh Cavalry (Old Glory) but I do need to put a flag on the standard bearer (any suggestions?).

Something based on the Nishan Sahib or the flag of the British Army?

[Jonas]

ok, I had to look up what Nishan Sahib was... it seems it is something like this:



Which would fit fine I think...

I don't want them using the british flag as they are Indian troopers under British command only.

[Whiskyrat]

Often orange but sometimes seen in blue.

[Jonas]

I think I will try and do one, but I will probably use the yellow colour of their jackets and paint the sign with the turban blue, so it will match the troops, rather than going historical correct.

That will look sharp!

[Dr. The Viking]

Looking good Jonas.

The head swap is a huge improvement.

If I were to comment on the painting in general, I think that it looks good, although the caucasian skin leaves something to be desired. I think you could easily improve the looks of it. This is especially pronounced on the British leader of the Sikhs.

But please don't take it bad.

[Jonas]

I know about the skin and I am working on it, but it takes time...

Here is some new stuff (and some old):


Lady Cornwall (Foundry), Allan Quatermain (Brigade Games) og Jebadiah Smallbottom (GW)

[Jonas]

A little update


Sir Jonah (Empress) and Jebadiah Smallbottom (GW)


Royal Mail Rifle Corps (Empress)


Close up of the same as above.

I have tried to paint the skin better this time, I have done it the same way as usual, but instead of painting above a black base for the skin I have used a darker skintone, I think it looks better, but it is a bit hard to see as the pics are not the best.

I have tried to generally highten the standard of my models painting and now I will paint 10 Empress redcoats and after that I will start to update my old models (I have started a bit on some characters)

Hopefully I will have 10 more Empress models ready before Do or Dice in Kiel and time enough to update some of my old models, if I manage that I can leave my Wargames Factory models at home, which would give me great pleasure.

I might update with new pictures at some later point, if I get some photos taken when there is more sunny.

Royal Mail Rifle Corps?

That one's new to me, I always thought the Royal Mail were pacifists...

I think there actually was a rifle unit called Post Rifles or something, so it is not completely off, but as far as I know their uniforms were blue.

But this is VSF, so I guess I don't have to be 100% acurate

Interesting, because the US Mail are gun totting crazies....  (with apologies to any US Mail carriers out there)

Nice stuff Jonas!

[Ray Rivers]

Looking good!

Love the rifle unit!
