A lot of very nice work here Rob  8)
Especially like your Perry medievals (obvs), but those Winter War Germans are lovely figures. Not at all dynamic, but full of character. Are they 20mm? Who makes them?
I admire your work on the Austrians, but you know... me and Napoleonics... meh.
The real question is, will you ever actually find time paint any of this multitude?  lol

Splendid work on all those conversions, especially the Austrians. ;D

@Capt Blood/Richard - those WW2 figs are a mix of 20 and 28mm...but both sculpts by Tony Bousted (same guy who did Empress's Modern range) for CP Miniatures http://www.cpmodelsminiatures.co.uk/  Just look under their Kharkov ranges....and they are indeed some figs that call out to be painted!

http://www.cpmodelsminiatures.co.uk/28mm%20WWII%20Waffen%20SS%20Kharkov.htm

They are really nice looking figs. Unfortunately the 28mm are actually more like 34-35mm, so won't fit in with much of anything else  :'( but they are still great looking figs...they will work with 1/48 AFVs very well!

As for the medievals, it is all YOUR FAULT Richard, if you wouldn't have gone and made such great ones yourself I would have never ever tried them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I blame you!  >:(  But now you see how easy it is to string a bow, get busy matey!  ;)

Finally, as for painting, in around 30 days I have to start packing house again for a move....so doubtful painting will happen anything soon. I wanted to do a test figure using the techniques Sascha was kind enough to share on his Nap Danes....will see....


@Malamute....Thanks!
