Trotsky and the Duke

[Cubs]

I thought you might enjoy a sneak preview of something Wargames Illustrated have got up their sleeves and will be announcing soon.

Here's a couple of fellows I was sent to paint up for them ... details to follow!

[Duke Donald]

Fantastic! In particular the Trotsky mini!

[Prof.Witchheimer]

As usual cracking paint jobs, Paul. That Trotsky mini is gorgeous.

[Cubs]

Thanks guys, funny enough I preferred the Duke all the way along, but then doing the final touches to Trotsky - the peak on the cap, the little poster under his foot (if you look closely you'll see it's him on a 1930's communist image) - really brought out the quality of the sculpt.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

well, the Duke is a great sculpt and top notch painted too, but no one can beat such a lovely Trotsky

[Schogun]

Very nice! (Tell WI we need a Lenin to go with Trotsky.)

[Helen]

Top work Paul. Love them both.

[Andym]

Brill! Top notch!

[carlos marighela]

Beautifully painted and Marion Wayne is a lovely sculpt save for the slightly odd looking Garand but I think I still prefer the Copplestone Trotsky to this one.

Stunning work on these Paul 

[Malamute]

Great sculpts, lovely brushwork = a perfect combination

[Cubs]

Thanks guys. I think Malamute hit the nail on the head - I can't emphasise enough how easy it is to put a decent paintjob onto a really nicely sculpted, crisply cast model. The damn things nearly paint themselves.

Both are great, really nice painting

That's certainly a hell of a paint job!  Absolutely stunning.
But the Garand looks more like a tree trunk than a rifle...

[Harry Faversham]

Is that you John Wayne... hell no, it's Sergeant Stryker!
