What a lovely sculpt and a real pleasure to paint.







Kipling wrote a poem about Maiwand,
The Last Verse of “That Day”
An’ there ain’t no chorus ‘ere to give,
Nor there ain’t no band to play;
But I wish I was dead ‘fore I done what I did,
Or seen what I seed that day!

The next beautiful figure in this range top painted

Beautiful and very nice paintwork

Super job Bob. Like the khaki.

Very nice Bob.

Thank you all very much for the great comments. This one paints itself (well nearly) can't wait for the next troop54


Cannonball, I got the mix from Valiant
For NWF khaki, I use Vallejo Beige as a basecoat, highlights mixed with Ivory, shadows in German Camo Brown, or Burnt Umber. For Boer War, go for a slightly more ochre shade

A good job on this one. I love those eyes (the figure's not yours, mate...)

Blind Pew. I knew what you meant, cheers mate.
Nap, thank you the mix was what Valiant had given me. I do enjoy T54 I would like some of them a little bigger though.

Hi Bob what a lovely job.... And a touching Kipling quote....Mike

Very nice Bob, lovely detail on the face.

Zane

Thankyou Mike and Zane, I think the face on this one is my best yet.
