Ooooohhh, Piers your making the rest of us look bad. Great figs, superb paintwork. |

Fine work Mr. B, fine work. |

I always preferred more subtle flesh shadows than Piers does, but I guess if you want the faces to be 3D on the tabletop you have to choose. Mine looked great [IMO anyway] up close but blurred out at more than about 18". Great camouflage on the jump smocks anyway. And nice figures. Always impressed by Tony Barton's work. Very natural poses. |

That's just too, too depressing. Lovely figures and lovely painting. |

Skarper, I think you're right, its a balance. I have to admit the flesh on these was a little rushed… Only four colours rather than my usual six, so a little starker in contrast than normal. But deeper lowlights do make faces 'pop' more at a distance… But to be honest, when at arms length, any detail is pretty much lost anyway! :) Now to work on clearing the backlog of AB stuff before the new AB Russians arrive…

Have we got US paras waiting in the wings as well? |
PiersBrand | 28 Nov 2016 12:06 p.m. PST |
Not yet… but Tony mentioned some winter British as a possibility. |

Amazing. That splinter cammo – just perfect. |
Simo Hayha | 28 Nov 2016 9:04 p.m. PST |

Amazing. Lovely painting but what beautiful sculpts. Funny how AB Fallschirmjägers at 18mm are more detailed than Warlord's in 28mm! |
PiersBrand | 02 Dec 2016 3:32 p.m. PST |
They are 20mm, not 18mm. :) |
