singlehanded daubing

[peedee]

Well I just have not got the patience not to paint even with an imovable left shoulder.
So .......although I can't hold a kit figure I have some flats and mini easels.
The hussar and horse are two of a four figure Quadri Concept set in 80mm scale available from 2D figures and I think Historex agents sell them too.
The 30mm standard bearer is a Swedish 30 years war figure, maker unkown from a bring and buy deal of assorted bits and bobs.

So although the following are not quite there yet, I am happy with the one handed painting results of the last 3 days.

The photos seem to render the reds quite pink where they are proper scarlet in reality......bugger.

All comments welcomed

Very nice Paul. You're not half bad for a one-armed bandit

I've found that if I open up my iPad photos in an editor and crop/rotate/autofix or whatever and then post them they appear right side up...weird, but it works

 

[peedee]

Samsung Phones don't do the same Billy, I even contra-rotated them so they came out the right way up to no avail.
Thanks for your comments mate.

Paul.

Very nice Paul. Hope the shoulder gets better soon.
What, if anything, is engraved on the base of the 30mm piece? We might be able to id it.

 

[peedee]

Thanks chaps you are all very kind.

Roger.....WM 172 centrally on the front, does that mean anything to you?

If you could ID him I would try and get more of these standard bearers.

WM = Western Miniatures. Are there any initials on the opposite side?

 

[billyturnip]

As far as I know Attic Miniatures now have the moulds for the Western Miniatures ECW figs.

Looks like either MD on the left and either an italic Capital R or a damaged 1C ?

That's easy then, MB = Martin Block, the designer who did the drawings and R = Karl-Werner Rieger, engraver.

They are crackers Peedee, sorry to hear about your shoulder, hope your better soon Guv'nor

 

[billyturnip]

Hmmm, so the way to get people painting flats is to damage one of their arms?

 

[swralph]

Looking good Paul even with a dodgy shoulder.
I must say, I thought most people painted with one hand.

 

[arj]

Very nice progress Paul.
You're doing a better job with one hand than I managed with two ... now where's that paint stripper?
Get well soon.

Cheers,
Andrew
