The preacher and the redeemed

[oxiana]

Two Godly folks from way out west..

[Galloping Major]

Really nicely done 

Goin' down to the river to pray?

[Svennn]

Very nice.

You're starting to flit around projects as much as me. I was quite envious of your focus with the Incas, in a strange way I am pleased to see you are human like the rest of us

Who makes those figures? Really nice job on then you made.

[Malamute]

Lovely job, I have that set too and very nice figures they are.

I especially like the coloured slave.

Tim- They are Redoubt ACW civilians. There is another nice chap holding a straw planters hat, perfect for 1830's Texas.....

It's worse than that - that funny Mr Malamute has even been taking my lunch money to subsidize something called the Boot Hill Empire... 

But you can rest assured that I do actually have some conquistadors on my paint desk, half finished. Honest.

Or indeed 1830s Florida. 

Yes, it's a great set - you can find them here: http://bit.ly/bJ5Uhk My only caveat is that a couple of them loom a little over my Foundry Old West civilians, but it's not an insurmountable problem.

Its all in a good cause

Love the preacher! He definitely has that fanatical evangelical look about him 

Those are possibly the most "in-scale" eyes I've ever seen on 28mm figures. When they are painted too big, they ruin a figure, but these two chaps are spot-on. Fantastic!

To be fair, a couple of them loom over the others - the yellow woman on that linked picture looks like a very big girl....

Great detail and brushwork. Thanks for sharing.

That's very kind - thank you! These two actually concluded with a small disaster. I finished them off, picked up the preacher to apply the varnish and dropped him, scratching off a big slice of paint. Five minutes later, I did EXACTLY THE SAME THING with the redeemed slave.

It was not a happy day, believe me.

Oops! Did you borrow my fingers without asking me? 

At least they have turned out very well eventually
