very nice job.. too bad that you made a mistake about the British flag which only included the english and the scottish flags on this time ( the irish red cross was added one century later)
Thanks. The "Mistake" is deliberate ;-)In persuit of My Project to paint all the poses from every figure set Airfix ever made I use the box art from airfix as reference material, the colours shown, flags, badges etc, wether it´s historically correct or not. The Airfix Box art for this set Shows the historically incorrect flag. http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=43
They've probably heard the final score already.
ReplyDeleteAnother great paint job.
Tim
Nice stuff as always Paul.
ReplyDeleteHunched depressed poses like that - a subliminal anti-colonial message from the sculptor maybe ? :-)
Merry Christmas
Could be incoming fire, bad diet or exhaustion.
ReplyDeleteThey are just tyred... Of listening to the drummer...
ReplyDeleteHorrible looking figures but very well painted.
ReplyDeleteWhy are they all walking around as if they are carrying 10 tons of ballast on their shoulders?
It's those coats, very hot in the sun. Poor blokes.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Paul.
I like them how you painted them. Are you AWI also now ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteThey are bog awefull sculpts...and not very many poses...still they had to be done.
@Peter...AWI ?...when the feeling takes me :-D
Cheers
Paul
The red is very rich!
ReplyDeleteFantastic painting as usual, Paul, although those old Airfix figs could only be useful in a War in Middle Earth :-D
