The Pint.
« on: 28 December 2011, 06:23:19 PM »
Here's a Perry plastic WOTR figure I built and painted for a step by step in Wargames Soldiers and Strategy magazine a few months back...
Realised I hadn't posted him online.
He's enjoying a well-earned pint after a dust-up somewhere. (Or maybe stiffening his sinews before setting to it again...  ;))



And here he is with a few of his fellow plastic conversions, most of whom you'll have seen before  ::)

That really is a beautifully painted miniature, really.

I so enjoy seeing your figures and the bright almost vibrant colour schemes you use - I will look out for the article.

Thanks for posting.

That's excellent mon capitan  :-* 

How much of it is by you, and how much is Perry?

Good stuff.  He seems to be really thinking about that pint.

Wonderful. He's thinking 'time for another swift one before the battle commences?'  lol

Really enjoyed the step-by-step article in WSS as well – you've got a nice writing style as well as a handy brush!  ;)

How much of it is by you, and how much is Perry?

Oh, they're all Perry bits right enough, but somewhat messed with by a sharp knife - including the tankard which is a short piece of a bowman's upper arm  ;)

Stunning as always Richard but is that a leather tankard or a pot one  ;)

Well it was meant to be a leather jack, but i guess it would pass muster as a ceramic pint pot...  :)

That's what I mean't, I doubt the Perry's ever thought a medieval pisshead should be included in each unit  ;)  The idea's the clever bit  8)
