Splendid Chaps, all of Them
« on: September 25, 2015, 11:09:36 AM »


I finally treated myself to these lovely miniatures from Heresy and Crooked Dice.

For a change I’ve actually taken my time in painting these, as opposed to my usual base-coat and quick-shade method, allowing me to experiment with shading, highlighting, drybrushing and such. I’m very happy with the results!

Oooh. I don't normally "do" 28s but those are really nice sculpts and I may need to get some. Your paint job is my preferred 'realistic' style vs the bolder table top style. Nice.

Mostly about miniature painting and collecting, mostly 15mm non-historical, but then anything goes!

Thanks guys!
Painting them was an interesting experience - different from my usual routine of knocking out uniform units as quickly as possible. It was nice to give these a bit of effort, even if my eyesight probably suffered because of it!

Nicely done!  Looks like there has been a sale on sonic screwdrivers!   :D
I am not a quack!  I'm a mad scientist.  There IS a difference!

They're cheaper if you buy them in bulk! ;)
