TBC's SAGA Project, NEW My Irish Mounted Irish Command units are finished!

The paintjobs are excellent as always, but I'm not 100% convinced about the bowstrings.

Thanks Mate!  Yeah, it was a great idea in my head, but some of the sculpts didnt take to the strings well.  Thought it would be that thing to set them over the top, now not too sure.  Of course, I'm sorta committed now...

Lovely stuff...

I came across this product ...

It is for model planes and boats , I have also seen it used as telephone and electric lines on model railway layouts...

I wondered if it would work as bow strings...

All the best.  Aly

Hi Aly! HUGE fan of your work! 

Thank you for the compliment and the tip, I'll have to check it out.  I'm thinking perhaps black was also the wrong color to choose in any event....

Love your work. Very well done. Makes me want to get back to my dark age stuff.

Those faces are brilliant, you really capture their expressions!

Re: bowstrings. I think part of the problem is that sculptors don't consider the bowstring and arrow position when they're sculpting. In this case, those bows are far too straight to be at full draw, and our eye doesn't normally process the problem, but when you put a string on it I think it highlights it. Bending the bows a bit during the construction phase might give a more natural look? Also, I think you're right that a more neutral colour would have been better than black. Don't get me wrong, the models look great, I just think there might be some tweaks that could get the bowstrings really looking schmick

Some WIPs on my Anglo-Dane Warlord.  I plan to redo my levy, but aside form that, the AD's are done!

[Maurenkönig]

Nice ones.
Loving the hornblower figure. Early Drabant Miniatures sculpts are great.

[rokurota]

Very nice!

Thanks Chaps!

Cracking painting TBC

[Gracchus Armisurplus]

Gorgeous!  Who makes the Warlord figure?

[Too Bo Coo]

Thanks Mates!  The warlord is from Gripping Beast, he's the Pendar mini set.  The standard bearer is also part of it.
