Painted Hinterland
« on: May 16, 2010, 10:37:14 PM »
Hi All,

I finally finished painting my Hinterland, firing line, so I thought I'd post some updated pictures.  Here's the Princess, with new flowery base:




Here's the Unit Builder pack, in matching blues:




(This, of course, is a cleverly Photochopped picture of the two minis I painted.  If I'd painted all six in the pack, it would have taken me another three months to finish them. ::))


Finally, a couple pictures of the Firing Line pack, in a WWI color scheme:





I finally increased my S&H costs a little, so as to deal with reality.  In many cases, I was actually paying more for postage than I was collecting.  Sorry.   :'(

By the way, this is also my first experiment with Siflor tufts and flowers.  What do you think?

What an interesting take using the WWI colours :-*  The flowers work for me too.

I have only got as far as undercoating mine :'(

Wow, I love the WW1 colours.

I am planning on seeing what the great war in England is like (the book) as, if my idea of what it is is right, I'd like to base some games on it. Uniforms in those sorts of colours, but of victorian cut, mixed in with a tiny element of ww1 and crazy vsf.  :)

The models look great and so do the bases... Flowers is not something I typically would like on a base for a wargaming miniature, but it fits with the models and maybe they are defending the princess in her flower garden or something.

 :D

Also I wouldn't have minded to pay more in S&H, I think it is only fair that it is raised to actual cost.

So please make more interesting models and I will surely return as costumer, I might even return anyway but I still have all three packs unpainted.

Thanks for the positive feedback.  The command pack greens are about 80% finished, so it shouldn't be long now before there are additions to the Hinterland line.

I don't have any Renegade, so I can't answer your question exactly, but here's a scale picture:





I would say they're about like other Paul Hicks sculpts, if you happen to have any on hand.

Thats the most you've done in a long time ;)

Mine are almost done. But then you posted yours and I think that I need to spend some more time on them.   :'(

Not to add to your agony, but have you seen these?
