Love the Wee free men, what did you use for the miniatures?

Ditto

Wanted to do wee free men for a long time. These look great.

Can't wait to find out where they are from. Is the carriage a kit or scratch built?

All the scene needs is a pack of old sailor tobacco

Brilliantly done. The Wee Free Men are a whole lot muscular looking than I visualise them. I always see them as small blue versions of MacDonald Fraser's Private McAuslan(If you've never read this trilogy of short stories, I thoroughly recommend it as the best account available of soldiering in the British army in the immediate post war years and will leave you with tears running doen your face).

God! Best vignette ever.

Such a delightful vignette!

That said, the Japanese townsfolk are great, too. I'm all for more civilian figures.

I like the wee frees, too, and especially the wagon, very stylish and well done executed.

Thanks for the kind compliment.
But the town-folk is waaaaay too shiny. The spray from that manufacturer is of no use anymore. They changed their recipe. Using army painter, but the nossle is clogging regularly.

Need to check out Malibu or Tamia.

Rescuing? they appear to be playing a game of sheep tipping

Thanks guys. Drachenklinge - they may be a bit shiny, but they are lovely figures and really nicely painted.

If I remember correctly the Wee Free Men are Pendraken 10mm Barbarians and Fanatics.

Granny Aching's hut is by Petite Properties and is a MDF kit, with plasticard corrugated sheets from Antenocitis Workshop. The interior is also fitted out and painted - which is where you'll find the Jolly Sailor tobacco pouches. (more pics after the competition if people are interested)

Tiffany is by Micro Art Studios - another from their Discworld range.

I know the Feegles are a lot bigger than they should be, but in 6mm they were far too small to see any detail

@ Gray Ghost - "Rescuing" is how they explained it to Tiffany when she confronted them. After all, they couldn't leave it on it's own out on the hills, in all sorts of weather could they?

Yes - deffo more pics please!

Loved the negotiation but have to admit the Wee Free made me laugh. Great jobs on both sets.

The Oriental civvies are nice, always good to see more civilians, but the gloss varnish really doesn't do them any favours.

I'd always pictured the WFM as being smaller than that, relative to humans, but that is an awesome diorama piece!
