I have another batch on the way, but painting time has disappeared for now, so it may take a while... 

This brings a lot of fans to very bad mood...

I thought your Bren Gun team reminded me of something...

[Silent Invader]

As every lad in the 1960s-70s knew, if it was in Commando if really happened! 

[Captain Blood]

Right then, here's the next painted batch...

Wow -the palette is as usual intrigueing - did You give the metal a blue wash or is it the photo?

[Mason]

 

Stunning work, Captain!
 


While they are all rather special, this fella is the bees knees for posing.

Very natural and clever positioning.
Ingenious.
 

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Paul - yes, I was rather pleased with him 

former user. The weapons are painted in a mix of black and gunmetal blue.

[Elbows]

Absolutely gorgeous...though I think (just perhaps) the commando's dagger should be all black.  I think most of the Fairbarn and Sykes daggers were issued all black.  Gorgeous stuff, as usual, incredible poses and gorgeous brushwork.

Brilliant work

(Now get back to medievals - I want to see more WOTR )

Gotta' agree with Mason, excellent work but he's a standout 

[gamer Mac]

Love the colours and the poses are great

[former user]

apologies for being so inquisitive CB
it is obvious that Your very recognazible style derives a lot from the colour choices You make.
Maybe You don't mind to share: when You start such a new project, do You prepare and design Your palette beforehand or do You simply go instinctively how it comes?

Mind You, I don't give a damn about authenticity here, I am simply struggling to overcome my painting blockade and trying to learn 
You are one of the very few miniature painters I know who are past technicalities and in the realm of artistic expression - as far as I can judge, this is a simple statement of facts and I am not trying to get a brown nose here.....

Lovely brushwork and poses Richard. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Helen

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Helen, Colin and all 

When You start such a new project, do You prepare and design Your palette beforehand or do You simply go instinctively how it comes?

Instinctively for the most part. I do think a bit about the kind of look I'm aiming for, then I just start painting and see where it goes
