Captain Blood's Perry Mounted Men at Arms. P.156 Scots pike block painted

[Galland]

This is interesting
The quality or value of these figures is in the painting so for my mind a well painted plastic fig should bring in as much as a well painted metal one, the metal of course being some sort of cheap and easlity available mass produced lead/tin/pewter alloy

Now were someone to paint a solid gold or silver figure for example one might reasonably expect the figure and paint job to cost a lot more

This ^^

Besides, I wouldent mind paying what ever is required from a master painter, if the miniature is metal or plastic is of no concern to me. I must admit though I do prefer resin miniatures over any metal ones.
Come to think about it, I have actually payed a LOT more for a single painted resin miniature, however, the painter is a several times Slayer Sword winner with a crapload of Golden Demons to go with that. Why? Because I reinvested,  in lack of a better word, some money that I got for selling other hobby items in to something that I really wanted, a miniature painted by a favourite artist. Yes, some of them are artists. It will yeild a lot of pleasure, like a signed print by André Franquin or what ever you like to have on your walls or in your bookshelf.

Back to the painting 

Count Otto Von Spargel, villainous Hanseatic soldier-of-fortune, has a coat of paint...

"No, Baron Bond, I expect you to die!"

Love it. 

[aircav]

Brilliant 

[Bugsda]

  Excellent Kapitan, I'll give you a score for it as it's only plastic 

That's a great horse colour Richard, there's a fair bit of good old inscribe burnt sienna in there I suspect   

[Silent Invader]

Excellent!

[oxiana]

What a brute! Why do I get the feeling that he was stroking a white persian cat the moment before he got on that horse?

Lovely rich shades on that horse by the way – gorgeous, right down to the simple but very effective socks.

He is just brilliant.

The GW head works well on that body, I had thought it would be far too big.

cool beans

Fantastic! He looks great!

[Captain Blood]

Thanks lads 

That's a great horse colour Richard, there's a fair bit of good old inscribe burnt sienna in there I suspect   

You suspect right! Very largely burnt sienna, with a touch of Vallejo bright orange in the mix...

More later. I'm on a roll! 

[Silent Invader]

Excellent!

This is one of those minis where each time you look you see something more. The ambience really is one of arrogance ..... In the image that is face on even the horse looks arrogant!

[Faber]

More later. I'm on a roll! 

Yeah, show us more! 
the count is really wonderful!

[Big Martin]

Continuing brilliance, as ever. Look forward to seeing more as they roll off the line.

I wasn't going to buy a box as I thought I'd got enough WOTR cavalry, but seeing your results is making me have a rethink!

Very largely burnt sienna, with a touch of Vallejo bright orange in the mix...

the only colour from the range I don't have

I do have 11 (yes, eleven) pots of caramel, due to double typing 1 on the order form
