Nice work,lovely shading and tones on those,just wondering if Cubs has any others waiting in the wings from this range  to be posted on the site ?

Not so far, but I'll keep you posted. They're lovely models to paint up and I'd like to get my brush on a few more before too long

Thanks for all the love guys, it gives me a lump ... in my pants.

It's a kind of Buff Leather colour, with some light cream for a dab of extreme highlight here and there.

Funny enough, the older guy's hair was all painted light grey and then the brown sections were put in using brown ink. I've found it's a really effective way to get an addition shade onto the hair without it looking odd.

Maybe a few (dozen) times...

I have an original theatrical poster for that movie, which ought to give you an idea of how far gone I am.

You may print that in your paper, if you have need of news.  lol ;)

Nice figures
Lovely paintjob
I'll be having some of these for the Frontier Ablaze late 1890's (figures are too early but hey....)

Does anyone have a clue about any potential release date for the Indian and British troops from Artizan?  ??? ??? ??? :)

Sadly I've just received a mail from them saying that there will be no Artizan releases for Partizan  :-[

No Artizan for Partizan? ... best eat some marzipan.

No idea sorry, but I presume it won't be too long because otherwise why would they need me to paint them now?
