All the better for a splash of colour Paul and look fabulous with their bows strung.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant brushwork and with more added bowstrings!
ReplyDeleteNice figures and superb painting Paul
ReplyDeleteNice work as always Paul. Good colour choice. Yellow and blue always work well.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you use for bowstrings? I use stretched sprue, steel wire and even occasionally stringing glue (Thixofix).
ReplyDeleteAnother bunch of lovely looking figures
