Let others decide!

Thought I'd mix things up a bit with my next order (AWI french and Zulus) and decided to let any 5 members of the Pendraken forum choose a pack of infantry each for me to buy and paint.

So, we have...

ARL7 - late roman inf armoured, attacking / mixed weapons
FPW20 - french guard voltigeurs
EL4 - elizabethan pike
ACW - union inf firing
LOA10 - league of augsburg inf march.

Some good choices and 4 of the periods I've never tackled, so it'll be interesting to see what I can do with them.
Keep your eyes peeled as I'll be posting a competition once they're painted for someone to win one of the finished units.
Now off to think of a comp!

Cheers

Another go at sculpting

It's been a while since my last post, I lost my password and email addy like a dufus.

Anyway, browsing through the work of Techno and Clib at Pendraken left me with an itch to sculpt, so a quick note to Leon and a bag of 10 dollies finds it's way into my last order :)

I set to work, initially intending to do some cowboys but found the Zulu bug too much to ignore, thus deciding on a British officer in patrol dress.

Here's the result, not great by any means but it's filled me with confidence to carry on.


Cheers
