a few snapshots of the painting desks 10/03/2011

Inspired by Peter Callan's amusing narratives recently I  decided upon  chronicling a moment in time ...a bit of a snapshot of the painting desk..I don't intend to engage the reader in  a very  witty narrative  but rather choose to  just let the pictures  tell the story ..I would have had  more completed but the Big Willow dropped by yesterday and we whiled away some time with coffee and chat..
should we not paint this and keep it for a master  figure, it is a one only of..
just for fun

Snipers, Vostroyan ..of Major Kubrik's company

Part of my foray into 40k, which was  an expensive digression and ultimately a great waste of time..not real wargaming in any sense that I could comprehend..

more Mutineer Miniatures Indian Mutiny highlanders





Pictures were  taken  when they were  finished  and awaiting packing up to be sent off.This is my "cheap" style, a sort of tartan equivalent to the $10 figure, though tartan and diced stockings are a deal breaker at that price.
