gets his hands on some fields and fences.As I mentioned last time, Fernando Painters are painting up a Dictatorship boxed army set (Collector quality) for AK47 from Peter Pig. (I'm painting an opposing army set.)
Two of the units in the Dictatorship army are made up of Militia - low-grade infantry. Since militia are ill-equipped, the stands will hold a mix of rifle-armed and AK47-armed figures.
The directions I gave for the force in general:
- Skin:
- Dark black skin (African)
- Pants:
- Random assortment of worn blue jeans/levi's (weathered blue); about 1 in five with "jungle camo" pants.
- Shirts:
- Red "T-shirts" (even on the "bare-chested" figures)
- Packs:
- Random greys, browns
- Straps/belts:
- Random greys, browns
- Feet:
- Bare. If boots, grey.
The figures arrived in a well-packed box, with each pack of figures in its own ziploc bag, and each individual figure also in its own ziploc bag.
Here, I've gone ahead and glued the painted figures down to steel bases.
The pack contains eight figures in four poses. Three of the poses are quite similar, except for equipment (one has a sheathed knife; one has an ammo bag). The left-most figure lost some paint in shipping (easily touched up).
Now, I did request in my painting instructions that the figures have T-shirts "painted on" - but when Fernando sent the photos of the painted figures for my approval, I missed out on correcting that. Also, no "jungle pants" here - maybe in one of the other packs...
