What is the collective noun for them? Cyclopes? Never mind. 12 in the box in 4 poses. I think they missed a trick with this lot. They could have added a sprue of 2 eyed heads so they could be converted to giants. Close ups These are big, not as big as some shown in films, and the one...

I´ve already made a couple of medieval slingers using the fustibalus, Staff sling HERE. They were unarmoured and due to using staff slings they carry no shields whilst using the slings. Anyway, for a while I´ve wanted some more medieval slingers using shepards Slings and with headswops...

Set FE20. 8 bods in 8 poses. I could have painted them as generic peasntry, Robin Hood style but went for colours worn by quite a few Counts and lords who took part in the 3rd Crusade - Red/yellow and Blue/yellow. Yellow/Blue - They could be levy for Robert de Montfort, Ranulf de Glanville...

Found chucked away in a skip. A way lot bigger than the usual Bods (she´s 8cm´s tall) but it made a change to upsize and have a rest from historical wargame themed Bods. Made from Resin, I think the big water lilly was meant for a tea light. All colours from Art and craft shops, Makes -Kreul or...

5 Bods and three nags. 3 standards and a shepards crook and 5 Heater shields. 5 shields is a bit odd because, unless one is strapped to the back of the foot knight , only three are needed. I left the shield off the bishop Bod. I also replaced two of the standards using ones leftover from TD and...

Full (and correct) titel "Russian Peasant Levy in Winter Dress". I´ve looked at them over at PSR a few times and dismissed them as ..well, being way too ugly and, what would I possibly do with Russian peasants? Anyway, I decided, after seeing some conversion potential and that they could...

Set AS2 - Huscarls Spear. 8 Bods in the set, 7 different poses so one pose didn´t get painted. As I´ve noted before, which pose is a repeat in the set you get and wether it is the same repeat pose (in the set I got it was the ...)or the repeated one is random choice from the other poses, I...

As with all things there´s more than one way to peel an orange and that´s goes for adding colours to Bods. Over the years I´ve been asked "what paints, what brushes?" do I use, or seeing Questions like "how does one stop the paint flaking?" so an attempt at answers below. The painting method...
