Medieval punishments (1)

This was about the Gloranthan big army day but has been altered to host the hanged man pics which I didn´t want to post front of blog without a Pre-warning...some may say I´m being over cautious...but I prefer not to risk upsetting people..



EXTERMINATE!!!!! (2)

Pinch, Punch!! :-D
A couple more of the pepperpots painted up...Dalek conversions next time ;-D
WARNING!!! Do Not try to spray paint these with a solvent based spray paint!!!! They tend to ..dissolve!!
Hello Mekelnborg. It looks like he is about to get into the world of 1/72nd bods again so needs more encouragement. Go and tell him it´s a great idea at his bolg Tabakskollegium-Mekelnborg

Medieval Citizens

This lot are painted up for my Medieval city aka medieval fantasy game. The pic makes thier faces look a bit bright...I can honestly say that in real life they aren´t so bright...Honest. :-D
These are I think, to be arranged in a group. The two in the middle are in the act of grovelling to the well dressed bod on the far left. The woman is either his wife or a standerby.

Flags

Probably I´m teaching you all how to suck eggs here but here goes :-D Maybe someone hasn´t seen this method.
This is how I make flags for my bods. The flag used is a 1/32nd scale one.
This Flag I printed off the web...you can find tons of Flags there...a lot of them free. For example, Ray at Don´t throw a 1 blog, does a lovely line in Saxon and Norman flags. Also Warflag and  Dansk Figursspilsforening  have a large range of free Flags and banners.

I cut a piece of tinfoil so that there is a mm or so of gap all around the edge, so that when the two halves are glued together there will be a good bond (tinfoil don´t stick too well)  The tinfoil is then glued to one half using woodglue

One half of the flag is then given a thin smear of woodglue, the flag pole laid along the back crease and the two halves carefully folded together. As you do this be carfull to keep checking the position of the flag pole, making sure it stays central.

After the flag has dried, you can crease and fold it as you want...:-D

Putting up this little article is a bloody good excuse to wave a flag in celebration of the good news that Momcha has become a Father!!!!! :-D Wish him  and his family well here

Sherrif of Nottingham Archer (Barzo)

This 54mm bod was painted by my 5 year old daughter...I didn´t help her in anyway whatsoever!!...all I did was show her where to put which colours, clean brushes properly etc.  I think she shows a real talent eh?

Slap and Tickle

A very happy couple enjoying each others company...well..maybe :-D
I had to be pretty carefull when I took the pics of this pair...this one, if slightly turned to the left,  reveals what attention to detail Alex gives his sculpts..truly lifelike :-D
Hello Trull. On his Blog  Trull´s Fantastiche Welten (Fantastic worlds) you can see truly amazing scratch built dios.....which are truly fantastic little worlds. His on going project "1888 - A dark Tale" looks like it will be something incredible.

Faces

These pair are from my very first post here, Medieval Highwayman, but I just wanted to show that the faces that Alex creates are so wonderfull. The pics aren´t the best in the world but you´ll get what I mean. They are a real joy to paint. :-D
I suggest taking a look at Mike Witakers Blog,Trouble at T´Mill.  Lots of great Wargaming reports. Why it´s been overlooked...I can´t imagine. Makes me wonder though...how many blogs are sittting out there, thier owners plugging along and no-one (or few) have seen them??

Terence the Troll

I suppose Trolls have names and Terence seems as good as any :-D
He is sooooo stupid that he can be convinced for the price of a Kebab to fight for whoever against whatever...whenever.
Will he aid the Adventurers or hinder them??? Who has the cash for a Kebab??
Hello Ulu Elsomalien. Ulo is setting up for a big Middleeast style battle on his Blog Prepient & Cie  Looks like it will be a big n´.
