[Viking Bob]

Cheers Bob....it's a challenge! I think your 4 month completion prediction was a bit out too.....hope you had a good Xmas. Regards Pete

Thanks Pete, yep Christmas came and went fairly quiet. I have tried to paint this scale before but failed so hard off to you.
Happy new year to you.
Regards Bob

Afternoon all. At long last I can present to you for your dilectation the first figure finished...I tell myself it took so long because of all the gold work! Hopefully the other ranks will be a bit quicker.
All comments welcome. Regards Pete

A classic example of how a wargames figure should be painted, although of a somewhat smaller scale there is no reason why their finish should be any different to their larger brethren.

I’m attempting to create a diorama using Blackpowder’s 28mm Colonial Militiamen, painted in the same manner of 54mm. Not for wargaming but for display. Having a good time, even with 65 year old eyes, but I can see you’ve got this scale down to a science!

Wow and wow again.........makes it look as if I am cheating, as I prepare my 1/6th French Hussar!
Seriously, a wonderful, neat and detailed paint job on this diminutive figure. Waiting to see the final diorama.
Regards and respect,

This is pretty wild, IMHO, how you get such incredible results in this scale. Ruck On!

Wow Pete, fantastic painting and I admire your skill in painting these. I would have had a swear box filled up within a week.
Well done mate.

Thanks a lot Bob...I did swear quite a lot actually ...especially when I knocked the sword arm and the scabbard off on two separate occasions! Looking forward to getting back to 75mm I think. Take care. Regards Petr
