Somewhere in the East - 1st Crusade (Clergy, Pilgrims)
« on: 13 March 2016, 12:03:30 PM »
my first LPL 10 entry "On the market". A bit of a wild mixed bunch of Arabian and Indian citizens, manufactured by Perry brothers and Eureka. 23 newly painted figures, I don't think I ever managed to paint so much for an LPL entry, although the miniatures were very easy to paint and I didn't care much about freehands (unfortunately..) but you know, that's the point, what are you going to do with the miniatures and how many time are you ready to spend on painting them. I wanted a lot of people on the picture, hence I had to give any fancy clothings and go for a more easier version. Anyway, here we go, a lot of pictures..

Very exotic you have really managed to capture great escapism, can almost smell and hear the sounds of the market - Love it.

The minis are a nice collection and really well painted but set together in the market place with the backdrop of the buildings they look fantastic.

Fantastic, Alex. As you know I am a big fan of quite busy scenes myself, but this one is so alive and vibrant it makes me green with envy.

No, Peder, it's Queen Zenobia of Palmyra (by A&A miniatures). She's been part of one of my entries to LPL8:

Stunning work, Alex.
For favourite entry for the first round.
 :-* :-*

As an entry for a single round in the LPL they are simply amazing.
So much work.
 :o

(In fact, you have painted more miniatures for a single round than I normally manage in several months.
And to a much higher standard. Such smooth brushwork. I think that I now have to hate you as well.  >:D ;)).
