5 Finished units

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Unit painted and based by me, my first major use of inks,
The 32nd regiment of foot.

Now here's 4 battalions painted by Mabuhay painting service but with my basing.

They have less detail then my own figures, but the paitning is neater, cleaner less sloppy.

Reading my post again 24 hour later I realised - in some horror - that it sounded a bit patronising (unintentionally), so I've zapped it.

With apologies to gunfreak. I think your collection is shaping up very nicely.

Gunfreak,

Actually I prefer your style in that they look more battle-worn and, dare I say, a bit more aggressive.

Regards,

Jim
