...also, note to self, do not take such close up pics......shows up all the mistakes....
Hasslefrees stuff is truly beautiful. There have been some lovely examples of these on here, thought I would have a bash.

Need working on but this is my attempted return to painting after mashing my painting hand. Its like starting from scratch.
HF has become my supplier of choice and these guys are going to join a modern 7TV cast and probably battle zombies in some capacity too.
Their recent ranges have made me consider looking into modern military rulesets......

I like them, maybe what is not doing them too much justice is the magnification not your painting... they are 28-30mm tall guys and gal, on my scree they seems giants!  :D

sometime I think we are overdoing magnification...

They look really good even at extreme closeup.

Thank you all very much!
I always have taken very closeup pics to try to highlight any failings.
I have another batch of these basecoated and will bung em up for c&c too.
Hasslefrees work is inspiring to say the least. I also got a selection of their survivors, breaks the monotony of painting zeds almost exclusively for a year.
The US greens were chosen because a) Dwartists work was inspiring and b) it seems a most versatile scheme for multiple settings.
I hope Messers White and Black get more of these done soon......

Great brushwork...don't care for the miniatures at all, but the brushwork is top notch!
