Armada! *First terrain wip 02.12.13 *

[OSHIROmodels]

Well, not quite but since I've been roped into the Slient Invader madness and the fact that he very kindly posted some freebies I've painted some Spaniards.

Certainly no where near the quality of Richards (and I still don't know how he did it   ) and I don't have any flock yet for the bases but I think they will do considering the stupid size of them  

Based on British pennies, flag pinched from the net and shrunk down to a resonable size. Very probably not the right uniforms but as long as they look ok I don't care, they're just to damn small  




Did them in one go but my wrists and elbows are hurting somewhat now so I won't tackle anymore for a few weeks.

I'll be doing most of the terrain and I'll post it here as and when  

cheers

Nice work!

I'm just waiting for one of you to decide that 10mm is perhaps still a bit large so we can see Captain Blood painting stripes trousers on 6mils.

Or 2s.

 

[Eric the Shed]

very nice

I've got plenty of 6mm samurai he's welcome to try

[Silent Invader]

I'll have to look out my magnifying glass first

You'll not tempt me neither.

Excellent James. They look rather good in white.
Fiddly little swine, aren't they? And some of the figures are better than others... But some of them are really astonishingly good considering the tiny scale...

Anyway, I've ordered a few bags of them from the 'new' League of Augsburg range, which I reckon will be:
1. the best figures, being the latest sculpts
2. about the right period for the heyday of piracy, costume-wise.
Given that I shall have far more figures than I'll ever need (30 figures to a bag / 5 or 6 different poses!) I'll send you some of my duplicates 

Take it easy.

Cheers for the offer Richard. I'll only wake WSS figs if that's what you have spare of and any suitable ship crew but don't worry about it if not, I'll probably be sorting myself out

First bit of terrain started 

The tube was in one of my bits boxes and was just the right size.

I had to get my wife to basic cut the doors and windows out as I still don't have full strength in my wrists but I finished them and added the other bits such as lintels and a floor/roof.

I'm going to gently texture it and I'm hoping the paint job will help give a sense of the scale as doing brick/block work this small can prove tricky.

Will be putting it on a small scenic base wit the possibility of a small hut where the operators live.




And one of my 28mm naval crew for scale.



Keeping it simple terrain wise for now until I'm back properly 

cheers

James
