Mutton Chop: Sherlock, Watson and villains
« on: August 16, 2011, 03:30:10 PM »
Hi all together,

in the last week, I received my second order from Mutton chop: It's the second release wave, Sherlock, Watson and some villains. The miniatures are perfectly casted - no mould line, no flash. I took them out of their blister and basecoated them. The sculpting is fantastic and the miniatures are full of character. It was a joy to paint them and I will definitely get the third release wave once avaible! The company is owend by Paul Hicks, who is the famous sculptor, and I am sure everybody knows him  :smt002 http://muttonchop.co.uk/ Check his website for more infos and maybe you want to buy one or two blisters... I can just recommend them. So but now to the pictures.

First the most well-known sleuth in history: Sherlock Holmes and his assisten Dr. Watson. I tried to paint the stitch as good as possible and it took me very long.. but all in all i am quite happy with it.



The second pictures shows the Weasley gang. I am not sure if they are popular in britain? Never heard Weasley before, just in Harry Potter. For me, they are the rough Essex Boy led by the super villain Lee (on the far left)



Of course they need some firepower and so two grabbed an LMG.





And at last, the most important scenic in every British Civil War Tabletop: A postbox!




I hope you like that stuff,

Stephan

Excellent work - especially the chequerwork on Holmes and the pinstripe on Watson - must've taken you ages!

Your Holmes and Watson are great. They really capture the feeling of Basil & Nigel!

They are based on the "Wind in the Willows" book and represent the weasles ;)
The "Windy Chaps" are based on the same book too.
