These Wargames Foundry Medieval Civilians (selected from packs MED 220 and MED 221) were sent to me by a sculptor in exchange for some conversion work I asked him to do on some Italian Wars miniatures, of which there will be much more later.
I have to admit that it was a bit of a struggle to get them done. Firstly, for mental health reasons, it was my first time back at the painting table since August 8th of this year which as anyone who practices a craft of any kind will be able to tell you, continual practice is necessary for the best results. Secondly, I for the first time in my life I noticed the "scale creep" that has happened over the years with 28mm miniatures. Most of my painting over the last two years has been with larger 28's such as Gripping Beast. Footsore, Aventine etc and I did find it more difficult to get the details right on the smaller Perry Foundry sculpts.
Maybe an age thing- more likely an eye sight thing!
Wouldn't have known you'd struggled if you hadn't mentioned it - they turned out well!
ReplyDeleteThanks :>)
DeleteIt's the size. The bloomin' Foundry mini's almost seemed to be another scale LOL
They turned out very nicely. I’m glad tha5 you got over the mental humps to get them finished. Also loving the barter economy method of acquisition.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. I'm in a better place now.
DeleteAmazing job! I wish I could paint figures like you.
ReplyDeleteIt is honestly just practice and patience Bartek. Funnily enough, it is two of your club members, Mr Brian Phillips and Mt David Imrie who inspired to me take more time over my painting.
DeleteBrilliantly painted!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ray :>)
