Sorry Steve I don't have any artisan to compare with but I'll take some comparison shots with hasslefree, old GW and em4. Wait and I'll post them in my PA thread. ;)

I'd be interested to see that Matt, thanks. They look like nice figures.

I hope the missing lady is not doing that at your home...  :o

Let me be  the  first (or is  it  second) person to say that I do not consider these pj:s to be among my proudest achievements. You know how some miniatures resist your paint brush. Well, these are of that kind. I got them because, well they are  *cancanières* for  chrissakes! I was blinded by that alluring concept but sculpts are not very good and  the  poses are rather uninspired. Well, at least there are six miniatures less in the lead pile.

No. 48 Ali Hakim another foundry mini.

A down on his luck Persian peddler who lost all his goods buying him self out of a shotgun wedding. He's thrown his luck in with some cowboys hoping to raise enough dollars to start up his business again and get the hell out of town.



Part of the experiment to paint skin. Much happier with this one. Plenty of room for improvement..but at least he has eyes.  :D

The sickle in the fruitful field;
The sword he sung a song of death,
But could not make the sickle yield."

I think he's meant to... there's another one that looks a lot like Harpo (guy with a bottle).

I can see that now. I actually rather like the mini, not a huge amount of detail but a lot of character.

Doesn't help that my ham hands painted him a little cross eyed too  o_o

Mark Copplestone has a Groucho (in the Thrilling Adventures range,wearing a pith helmet, I think - which could be mended with the use of a razor saw and another mini), but I think he's way out of scale with the Foundry ones.
