Instructions for Poste Militaire Crow and Blackfoot figures

[Croc]

Hi Gentlemen and Ladies,

Would any of you possibly have copies of the painting instruction for the Poste Militaire 90mm Crow and Blackfoot Warriors sculpted by Julian Hullis

I've had the Blackfoot for ages and recently purchased the Crow to go with him only to find that there is a bag full of daringly cast whitemeta bits.

This is my first foray into the world of the Native Americans and probably could do with some guidance. I would be very grateful if someone is able to help with the instructions and will gladly cover photocopying and postage costs.

Warmest salutations,

Regards,

Croc

Is this any help?

Hi Keith, Thank you very mush for that, it's certainly a start and far better than the badly photocopied image on the box. Hopefully someone is a hoarder like myself and keeps all the painting instructions "Just in case'
Thank again for you help and taking the time to reply.
Regards,
Croc.

Hi Croc, I have the two originals in my cabinet painted by Graham Bickerton. I could do some close up pictures for you if you get really stuck on the assembly and painting.

Sorry about the delay, but you know how it is. you think something's in one place and it turns up
in another. OK then............ here's a scan. (The originals are huge and I've reduced them to a more
manageable size, so if you look at them actual size on your picture editor everything should be fully
legible). Hope this helps.

It was a good choice on your part to have a go at this pair. Lots of lovely detail to deal with on two
figures designed by a terrific sculptor, and produced by a world class manufacturer. Enjoy...

Just had another thought ...have a look online at the work of artists Howard Terpening and Frank McCarthy. They're inspirational !!

Hi Tecumsea and Fogie, What brilliant people you are! Thank you very much for your time and effort, the painting guide is invaluable and will save me hours of research on the Interweb. I would love to see some photos of your Graham Bickerton originals, Graham was one of the reasons that I started out in this hobby and has remained one of my all time heroes. I had put the Blackfoot on Ebay and luckily received no interest and in a moment of madness decided to purchase the Crow warrior. Thank you again, real gentlemen indeed. Regards, Croc.

Cheers Kev,

Thank you for your help. As for posts, well I'm a half decent club modeller and I don't think I'll be of much interest to most of your illustrious members but I'll give it a go

Not helped by the fact that I'm allergic to social media and normally forums, but I've been inoculated just last week in preparation for this.

See you in November.

Thanks again,

Regards,

Andy.

...........real gentlemen indeed.

Don't know about Keith, but the last time someone called me a gentleman was - shall we call her a ' translator' - in a bar in Wanchai.

Never happened to me I'm afraid.....but then I've never been to Wanchai
