Hi,

These were painted in lieu of Christmas Cards for my Dad who's a bit of an Agatha Christie nut! I'm pleased to announce that he was very happy with them!

There absolutely great - where are the miniatures from?

Marvellous Idea. So much character in them and beautifully painted

Ms Marple looks just like She is about to deliver one of Her famous "Summing up of The Case" lectures.

I'll bet he was pleased...beautiful.

I've got those figures and I think I'll now go and ceremonially melt them down now I've seen your paint jobs

They were two of the giveaway mini's handed out at Partizan a few years ago now. i think it's the first 500 through the door? And those who put on demo's etc.

I gave the last one a kiss- looked like he was Nazi!! It was mean't to be the chap waving goodbye to Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia I think(?)

Cheers,
Darrell.

Cracking work - he should be right chuffed with them!

Brilliant brushwork!
I am not surprised that your Dadf was well chuffed, I would be too.

Now, if anyone out there has that Miss Marple figure.....I have been after that one for ages.

Sorry Mason, I was saving the one mini I had for my Dad- he's 85 and the time was right to get these mini's painted up for him.

Thanks for all the kind words guys

Darrell.

Superb - even better than the snowmen!

Just one snag - do you realise that now everyone will start sending you Christmas cards, expecting this sort of stuff inreturn?
