Fascinating thread, Richard.

Love the minis and though I might not be doing a lot of posting you can be sure I am always lurking and admiring your splendid work.

Richard
They all look great - you certainly have the knack of getting all the components to work really well together. Am also getting fed up with studs on the horse tack, and will be doing some variants, as you've done with the plastic card.
Looking forward to the painted version - and the WSS 'special'...seems a shame to think that this great thread will be ending sometime.

Cheers
Simon.

I really love the way that you manage to put extra care and effort into each miniature. And they are all lovely as usual! Look forward for them painted

Nice builds CB, look forward to seeing them painted up in due course.

Inspirational stuff, I think the first gothic knight is my favourite, it's reminiscent of a mock up in the Leeds armouries. I like the plasticard conversions too, good for a bit of variety.

Richard,outstanding work! There are a few people (rather a few actually,I wont digress)on this forum who create things that go beyond just painting figures/conversions et cetera ,and who enter into the realms of artistry. You my friend are at the top of the list.

Cheers

Great. Now we'll have to widen the entryway to the moderator's lounge to get his head through it.

Nice looking builds right enough. Great as always.

The level of work on this website is always exciting...but there are a handful of threads, such as this one, which bring me back to the age of 12. Feverishly devouring the pages of any model/gaming magazine, drooling over beautiful models, and paint jobs, fantastic tables and regiments of miniatures I wouldn't be able to afford for years.

To be honest, I rarely buy wargame magazines now, the quality of stuff on here sets the bar too high for them to compete imo. This thread along with the other 'similar' ones on this board, would really take some beating as far as quality of work, inspiration and enjoyment goes. This is of course reflected in the views for the topics concerned.

Thanks lads. I'm quite touched

I feel the same. Mainly, I have to say, because the Perry WOTR product is so brilliant, but also because multipart plastic models provide an opportunity for creativity and interpretation, that metal figures frankly don't. They are, quite simply, exciting and fun. Just like being 12 again

The good news is they are also cheap however, so you can definitely afford them! Go play

I haven't commented on any of your threads before, but I thought I'd add my voice to those saying, basically, "Bravo!"

Reminds me of a quote I've always loved: "People argue abouth the 'Golden Age' of science-fiction. Some people say it was the 1940s, others the 1950s. They're all wrong. The Golden Age of Science Fiction is twelve."
