New year and a huge update

Hi everybody hope the hangovers are doing ok haha...i'm posting this update then going to work on my own hangover. Updates are casualty marker, Clan Mcdonald, Carthaginians foot and horse, Romans, and finally WOTR Infantry royal division hope you enjoy, thanks for looking
I decided to make a casualty marker, not my idea found it on another blog, liked it and wanted one in 10mm instead of using card markers, The reaper is 10mm Pendraken, a 25mm steel washer, and magnetic tape off e-bay. I'm happy how he turned out

 

Next up another Highland clan the first unit of McDonalds {not ronald McDonald before you ask}

As Always 10mm Pendraken, only a minor moan, no pipers, you got to have pipers with higlanders, but beautiful figures all the same.

 

Next up Carthage

 

That finished all the figures from my army pack A work in progress are my veterans below

 

This first element needs to be based will look better when complete but love the figures, again Pendraken new range

Finally WOTR work in progress men at arms done longbowmen started only one element based and flocked
Thanks for looking hope you enjoyed
all the best Sean

Merry xmas to one and all, hope santa was good to  everybody, and filled your stockings with wargame goodies..

Clan Grant, and the first New Republican romans

H everyone, been a while so trying to get back into painting again, still finding it a struggle but i'm getting there slowly. So once again and as a tribute to my mother, The Grant clan takes to the field, figures as always 10mm Pendraken

The Mc Donalds are next nearlly finished them, and no its not Ronald Mc Donald before someone asks haha
I've also made a start on my Republican Romans Principes, again from Pendraken. so now i know what I want from Santa

While i'm chatting i've just joined The Battlefields Trust, who do great work in trying to preserve our national military historical sites, so looking forward to getting involved in any way i can. Hope you all have a great week.
All the best

Lost my pal today

Max 1998-2012

Sorry this post has nothing to do with painting or figures, Its for me

 

Came home from work today to find my best little pal had died, peacefully. I'm completely gutted by this, I'm trying to console myself he had a great life, was never ill, always healthy, and playful, well looked after and well loved by all the family. He was always with me in the house,  near me if i painted or was working. Always purring, and knocking my figures over or pulling the brushes out of the cup. When he was young the house was a fly and spider free zone he made sure of that. For something so small his loss has left a huge hole in my life, he may be gone but he will never be forgotten

R.I.P My friend

 

Max and me



As promised

Once again life has dragged me away from the paint table, but on the plus side been working in one of my favourite cities, Glasgow. finished my second unit of the WOTR my impression of oxfords division

As usual the figures are 10mm pendraken's medival range

A second post,  a while ago i tried my had at making some scenery, some wire armature trees, and my first ever building my impression of the dunker church. (even Mc Alpine's had to start somewhere).

The figures are from my ACW minifigs 10mm with a Pendraken officer (yes guys you got iron brigade figures now mr Pendraken, So i'm not a traitor lol) hope you like them.
Have a great week ahead guys got a feeling i'll be soaked and cold all week
all the best

Still here

Once again real life has taken me from my relaxation and enjoyment. So i will say sorry for my lack of posts (if anyone reads this.... if not i'm talking to myself haha)
I have been a bit of a time traveller in my painting...Republican Romans, last of the Carthaginians, (sounds like a movie title) Wars Of The Roses, Jacobite Highlanders, finished the Grant clan as a tribute to my mother who was Fiercly  proud of her roots, and started the Mc Donalds. Also been reading your blogs with interest too.
Hope you all have a great week
Sean
