I would like to thank John of http://www.commandominiatures.com/index.html who very kindly sent me a free set of advance castings of these figures, Lovely models. I sculpted with G/S the beards as his SAS heads are not yet available (he gave me one at SALUTE, very nice too).
This entry was a real bugger as the Gun and building where late editions, and with work I had less time to paint. On Friday night I had to paint from 9pm when I got in from work, fortunately the 25 pdr had arrived that day, until 6 am Saturday morning, a quick refresh then off to SALUTE at 8am, I didn't stay til end, just waited for LAF meet up heading home at 2pm.
Thansants, lovely models, beautifully painted and in a great setting, really nice entry.

Thanks Elysium - them's some nice SAS and they're doing what they do best - kicking ass!  ;)

Well they do say sex sells - mind you the girls might have done a little better if they'd shown a bit more cleavage...  ;)

I don't normally vote on these things but it's great to see the commando stuff painted. And equally great to see the old citadel amazons again too. Well done !

I had no idea of what miniatures you could possibly use when I saw that title Thantsants :) I was pleasantly surprised... I don't think I've seen anyone paint those before. Nice work!

Nice little scene Elysium, and fantastic job keeping the muted colors separate and clear on those soldiers.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.
