Feldrabbiner and other assorted doings

[PeteMurray]

I think the thing I like best about your painting and modelling is that it's full of humor. Nobody else would have thought to put Tesco and Aldi logos on the bags of a woman coming from the bazaar, and I think a Feldrabbiner conversion is the last thing on most people's minds.  

It's those infectious little jokes that keep bringing people back. If you pay close enough attention to what you've been doing (or gaming, or writing), there are those little rewards. So I'm very glad you shared them with us, and I hope you get or stay un-slumped in the future.

Thanks for the kind words, fellas.

Malamute, the official title of my style is 'Slapdash', but the committee are considering a name-change to 'Copying the Prof.'

More in hope than expectation, it must be said.

I don't know why I didn't comment yesterday when I saw this post the first time but I really like what you have done with these.  The guy in the striped robe is probably my favorite but the Rabbi is pretty unique as well.  Nice work!

You do yourself an injustice. Its not slapdash. I would be very happy to produce that quality and in the same quantity as you have done in january.

I have been suffering from your pre Christmas slump and haven't picked up a paintbrush in months.

'Slapdash' describes the method, not always the results. As in 'hasty and careless in execution' or  'In a reckless and haphazard manner.'


Sometimes it all comes together, other times it doesn't. That's the main criticism I have of my own work, I'm inconsistent. Sometimes I'm really impressed with my stuff, and on another day the output won't look so good. It's all down to me because I know I can be lazy and careless, but I don't really want to change my ways. Usually 'getting it on the table' wins over 'must impress those buggers at LAF!'


Also it usually looks brilliant to me until I take a photo of it, and then you notice loads of things you didn't spot before that could have been better. I hate how cameras do that.

Splendid work there. Like the oil stains on the tankers knees, thats one idea I will steal

hammershield Third Law of Miniature Painting: If you a miniature in a bucket and pour no less than ten shades of acrylic paint of which at least one is burnt umber, laws of chance dictate that at least once within the span of eterity a perfect CMoN 10 rated miniature will emerge, subtly shaded and with NMM details. This is certain. Go on and try it, you know you want to.
