Well, they may not be from a particular album. Pratt, who is a master of water colour has made many illustrations based on the world of CM which are sold in galleries.

I reckon I've seen it somewhere and it's been pinched, copied whatever. Like a role playing supplement or somesuch  :?

Anyway, never mind me, do carry on  :D

Re: Chicken Race on the Arumbaya-Sailors in Navy Whites

I think I posted, in this thread, some British sailors in navy blue outfits. Thinking white would be more appropriate for a a tropical setting like the Arumbaya I ordered some more from Regiment Games and painted them so.

They look great, I agree that white has the 'tropics' look.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

I see the photo lighting is a bit harsh. The white has a more subtle shading than what came out in the photo.

The whites look great; smooth and creamy.  I like that you didn't do the shading in blue, which would have made them look too crisp.

As I have stated before there will be three 'teams' in the race along the jungle river. I have now completed the third team which will be a mixed bag of adventurers, anthropologists, botanist, archaeologists, sailors...









I will eventually write some fluff for these...

I am fed up with my fucking piece of shit camera. It is all auto settings and feels cheap and plastic to boot. What's the latest in affordable macro photography? Price range €300 tops?
