What about my chopper?

 Another ogre (I don’t have a problem…).  This time 90’s vintage from Marauder Miniatures.

And for my next song…

Bard from Hasslefree Miniatures, who has been sat on the partly done pile for too long because I was too scared to do the diamond pattern on the leggings.  Far from perfect, somehow both legs ended up with patches that didn’t meet up, but they’re on the inside leg and not obvious.

EDIT - the day after posting…

Well honestly.  What are the odds that the miniature decides to buy a random Lego mini figure with her pocket money today, then finds this when she opens it?

Time Gentlemen Please

More bystanders, this time from Hasslefree Miniatures - bartender and dwarf patron.

 

 

The detail on the barman's face is a little soft, which made it tricky to get a result I was happy with - I'd say I got to about 'meh', which will have to do.  The dwarf patron however is a lovely little sculpt - simple, unfussy, but lots of character in that face and sharp details like belt and boot buckles.  You just know he's going to give you his opinions on why goblins aren't like they were in his day, whether you want him to or not.

Strumpet...

...by Hasslefree Miniatures

First attempt at painting sheer material over skin.  Good bits and bad.  I need to go back over the skirt and tidy it up, adding some edge highlighting.  Pretty pleased with the skin tones though.

And yes, basing needed!

Comments always welcome!

Bases, lots of 'em!

Models always look much better when their bases are done.  The problem is, it's a chore I just struggle to muster any enthusiasm for!  The downside of that is I end up with a pile of minis in various states of 'almost complete'.

However a quick look into the 'work in progress' file box revealed quite a bit that had reached that stage.  Time for a bit of a concerted effort!

Just PVA, sand, dark brown, drybrush with medium brown and bone. Then more PVA and static grass.

Also added a couple of resin bases to some civilians.

Narg

And now for something completely different...

Narg the Torturer, from Hasslefree minis, completed over the last two nights as a change from olive drab.

If some interrogators consider themselves 'artists', Narg's more your painter and decorator.  Nothing fancy, but he'll get the job done!

Nice, simple palette and highlighting.  Needs a scenic base.

Follicly Challenged

A bit of a change in scale and period.  I've spent the last few evenings painting up a couple of Hasslfree's excellent models: Grant and Kev.  Lovely sculpts by Kev White as usual, but not too 'fussy'.  I haven't decided how to base these guys yet, so the're still on temporary bases.

Enough talk, on with the pictures.

Here's Grant, with his customised MAC10 and multiple pistols:

And now for Ken, wearing my first real attempt at British style DPM.

And a nice group shot to round it all off!
