That Sinking Feeling! A tale of The Lone Ranger & Tonto Sort of finished 1/7

[Svennn]

You know that inward groan you have to keep in when a non wargaming mate says "you paint toy soldiers, could you do a couple for me?" and all you manage is a very polite "of course".

The true sinking feeling doesn't hit until they bring them round and you get to see the task in all its glory

Well, good luck!

I am confident in your skills to do a wonderful job on those

You're going to need to sculpt a very grassy base if you are to have any chance, any chance at all, of getting those horses to stay upright - especially the one with a missing hoof.  Probably need to use something like Fimo - but much more durable.  Probably need milli-put. (sp)  Again, good luck.

Nope, the only people that know I paint toy soldiers are the people I've played toy soldiers with.

Good luck.  Reminds me of restoration of artefacts from an ancient site. 

[joroas]

Can you make me a silk purse when you've finished?

Bleedin' 'Ell!
 

Good luck!




....or just buy new versions.

You have more faith than me

I have set my expectations very low and am aiming for a toy look, it would take a far more talented (and patient) man than I to get even a tabletop wargames finish on these. The plastic is so old and brittle it is breaking just by looking at it so your wishes of luck are greatly appreciated.

[thebinmann]

Wow, you should start an American Pickers type programme!


It's almost beyond belief that they even kept them...

[Svennn]

Well this is what I managed, just could not spend any more time or effort on these.



cheers Svennn

Nicely done
