Arabian Market (Finished 20/1)

[Andym]

Another vulgar display of modelling power. 

I like the grendel stuff too, but I actually think it fits your terrain badly.

At least the pieces with all the brick/stone work going on... clashes with the idea of an Arabian market I think?

Totally agree! I'm sure if it comes to it Karl can use them for something different! I also find the scale a bit big! There's a black smiths but I've painted and the weapons are HUGE. The knifes the size of a sword, the axe bigger than a person.

Cheers for the nice comments guys!

Truly lovely. I'm amazed by the number and quality of the details.

I'm with you too. I got the set for the fountain but thought the other bits would come in handy as additional pieces in the background of the market photos. Andy's done a cracking job regardless

Here's the culprits....

[Blackwolf]

They are fantastic Andy! Brilliant painting,beautiful colours.Outstanding

[gamer Mac]

You are getting rather good at this.
But you need to stop sending them away

[Suber]

Whoa! I'm overwhelmed by your abilities! The details make this just great!

[Blodwin]

Wonderful stuff, right down to the little black markings on the bananas – just like the real things from Asda.

Fantastic, the colours and shading on the clay urns - beautiful.

I like the pile of rugs - and the painting is lovely.
Not a fan of the all-in-one moulded pieces though. They look a bit like the things you find in tourist souvenir shops on the costas...

I am with the Captain on these pieces.
The painting is top notch, especially those rugs!
 
(I think they are real, you just took a picture of the New Year sale at Carpet Right, didnt you.....?)
There is something wrong-looking about the other bits, though.

Not sure about whatever toot Captain B is buying on his travels, but I will take his word for it.
I have a couple of them myself and cannot bring myself to use them yet..there is something just not quite right to me as well.

Great stuff, Andy, but you had better make something to use at home soon to keep your brother happy!

Very nice indeed

They remind me of fridge magnets...

Sorry Andy. No reflection on your painting skills my friend.
Just that the pieces don't look like scale models - more like dolls house toys or summat...  Can't quite put my finger on it
Anyway, I shall stop going on about it and introducing all this unnecessary negativity into this wonderful thread! 

[Andym]

The painting (as everyone agrees) is wonderful. The pieces themselves have merit. It is all around context. In Heroquest these would work perfectly. In a "realistic" setting they look a little stylised, and vaguely out of place.

But if you decide to throw them out I can find a home for them. Mine.

Sorry Bezzo! I'd love to send you them, but at this moment I'm packing them up and sending them off to their new owner, I ain't even going to get a chance to use them!!

Don't apologise Captain, I couldn't agree more! As you say they are very reminiscent of those wee ornament cottages you buy! I think they're just to crammed!!

I totally forgot about one last piece...





That's it all totally finished! This is the haul that's being sent away...



Thank you guys for a the nice and encouraging comments along the way! You really all keep me going!!

Cheers!!
