Last week was my last holiday week (well, I'm going to get some few more days for a wedding - not mine..yet), so I had plenty of time to paint and amuse myself. SWMBO was working during this week....and the feeling was: ohhhh what a bliss!
I've painted plenty of figures as you will see below, from various historical periods - dark ages, musket era, vietnam war and modern times.
By following this pattern, I realized that my mojo did not diminish by the end of the week, and that was because I didn't feel bored whilst painting. Using similar techniques, but, different colours and figures the difference was huge for me, and I think that I may stick to this alternative method, for what is worth.
So....
Saxons (Emhar #7206 Saxon Warrions)
FIW French (Zvezda's GNW Swedish Infantry) - see previous work
Kambodian Khmer Rouge soldiers (see the red scarf...) - Vietnam war (I used a set from Imex - Korean War/ # 531 Chinese's People Liberation Army)
US Marines - Vietnam War (Italeri's #6078 - US Special Forces - Ex ESCI) - see previous work
And now for something completely different...
US Infantry - Mogadishu / Somalia (Revell #02520 US Infantry) - a new (as if, I didn't have many already).
I hope that you didn't find them too many, and that they didn't distract you from my one theme/time per post.
Hope you all have a great Monday!

What a great week's work and stunning job on those moderns with their camouflage uniforms. This is an approach that I wholeheartedly endorse, after all variety is the spice of life!
ReplyDeleteThey are all great especially the partisans and the camo on those US Infantry is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat work. Khmer Rouge is inspired and unusual.
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive holiday!

ReplyDeleteLots of variety and painting goodness, Mr.T. The bases look very very nice on the grass mat/ground cover.
ReplyDeleteWell done T. There's certainly some history covered there. Glad to hear you are enjoying the painting.
