Up the Nile! Beja, Third Lot!

The next little lot of 12 'speed painted' Beja. All 12 min's were completed in in a couple of sittings which is good going but not as fast as the first batch. I'm not exactly sure why they took longer then the first lot but I do hope it's not because I'm starting to get anal about the brush work! Given that I am looking for overall visual impact on the table top slowing down too much really isn't an option!

Please accept my apologies about the quality of the photographs. My new laptop is getting a clean and a new fan fitted so I'm reduced to using an old Lenovo Yoga on which the keyboards and pad don't work so i'm operating with a separate keyboard and mouse! Back to the Stone Ages! :>)

to my horror I was to discover that I neither had GIMP nor Photoshop on this damn machine so was reduced to using sa which has to be one of the worst photo editing tools out there. You can see by the images that it takes one or two attempts before I get the hand of  using Picassa again.

I hope to have more very soon but that might be a few days as I'm also working on some Aventine Byzantine Heavy Infantry which I'm taking my time with as they are simply too gorgeous to hurry.

A more or less actual size pic first:

  1. Paragraph three is a bit technological speak for a man who points his mobile and snaps some photos.

    1. Basically Picassa is pooh lol

      I usually use GIMP or Photoshop- not that I'm an expert but they are both much more instinctive and easier to use then Picassa.

  2. Some more nice work. I am excited about this project. I hope to do some soon or one day, but in meantime will live vicariously through your work.

    Cheers

    1. Thank you for the kind words Kevin. The whole Mahdist War thing is fascinating. It helps a great deal that Perry Miniatures produce such a wide ranging and in places eclectic line.
