But anyway, it’s not a competition and someone has to go next.

You're right, it's not!

I rather like him. Reminds me of the chap the evil Captain Simcoe enrols in the Rangers in 'Turn' (if you've watched that... )

I've got one of Lance's sculpts next in line myself... Although at this rate, he may not make it into the club...

#059 teeny-tiny pirate captain, Stede Bonnet

He's a 10mm Pendraken League of Augsburg command figure, with a Green Stuff flag.



And just for the avoidance of doubt...

Gosh, those Front Rank figures really are big aren't they? 

Superb...screams gullivers travels too😃

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Nothing wrong with that, splendid job on a great sculpt

Thanks, Malamute.

(if you've watched that... )

No I hadn't heard of it. Looked it up on Amazon, sounds good?

Halfway through series 3 on Amazon Prime now. Starts slowly, gets much better as it goes along. Rogers' Rangers (and a rascally Robert Rogers) feature largely, so you might enjoy it

Lovely brushwork Richard on the 10 mm.

Love your work Nick!

That's impressive painting on a 10mm figure.   

[Calimero]

Gosh, those Front Rank figures really are big aren't they? 

That's for a Gulliver's Travels game?

Very nice work on both figures!

Fantastic work there, especially when seen next to the 28mm figure.

 

[Prof.Witchheimer]

You really  have no reason for being nervous, very nice work on a lovely figure

#062 Pirate by Foundry

Decided to go for nice, bright colours and a dark skin tone for a change. Mini's been sitting on my desk for ages, this was a good time to finish him

[Driscoles]

Here is my entry. No. 63

It´s a long and sad story behind this miniature.
I bought it years ago. It had to live a rough life downstairs in the basement between all those old cardboard boxes filled with miniatures. When you guys brought up this new painting club I remembered this Foundry miniature immediately.

What a good opportunity to dress him properly in paint  and spoil him with a fine matt varnish. I painted so quickly with joy while listening to a Stephen King audio book and he could have made it into the top ten of first painted minis.

But the Mighty Camera God who cursed me with a poor photographing talent had other plans.

The same plans that do not allow me to compete with others on the LPL or to share any battle reports with you, because the picture quality is so poor  The same God who blessed you all with plenty and me with none.... Halleluja...

Anyway... If you take a magnifying glass you can see how skillful this little fencer is painted but I can not share all his beauty with you because although I shot zillions of pictures on white paper, infront a forrest, infront a house, with light, with headlights, no light the results were always poor. And after a hard weeks work I decided to put on this one because thats the best I can effort.... Iam so sorry....but I hope you show mercy cuz I want this beautiful little badge so much.

So here he is one of Lord Hawkmoore`s Gentlemen Adventurer.

[Malamute]

Nice one
