beautiful effect with the wood grain |
I wanted to share this fantastic version of WLOA944 painted by Nick Armiger in New Zealand. He has used the Foundry triad combinations to get an amazing effect on the piece.

great contrast between wood and canvas |
Nick used peaty brown B for bringing out the grain, charcoal black B with a wash of dark tone and all three boneyard colours for the tarp.
He is going to...

Ireland book teaser - The personalities
I spent the Christmas break working on individual personality models for the key players in the 1688-1689 period. These feature in volume 1 of the new Ireland book.
I decided to be very disciplined and complete them all together so having painted 12 (Clarence has already done the 13th - Richard Hamilton), I have gotten them all to the pre finishing stage. By that I mean the figures are painted but...
Something completely different... Highlanders from Warfare Miniatures

Standard bearer or wealthy clansman |
It's all my fault. For that I apologize. To not have hurried up and painted these lovely sculpts and share them is in of itself a serious misdemeanour.

I commissioned these models from the talented Steve Shaw many moons ago. Steve works at his own pace and so the figures have trickled to me in batches over a protracted period. This perhaps contributed...
Building a Wargames Army, Part 8 - King James' Irish Foot Guards
Clarence Harrison - Yeah, remember this series (Type 'Building a Wargames Army' in the search bar above)? Hopefully updates will be a little more frequent, but as the WiP posts have shown I made progress on my Jacobite army. I actually painted twelve models in two days thanks to a long holiday weekend. It took me two months to paint the first six!
As I mentioned a while back, I used the Warfare...

Jim Purky's BIG unit of Swedes
Jim Purky needs no introduction in the world of Horse and Musket wargaming so I won't try here, if you don't know about Old Fritz then search out his German 'alte' ego and see what he has been up to for a long time.
Jim has become very engaged with Warfare Miniatures Great Northern War project and recently sent me some fine pictures of his newly completed unit of the celebrated Upplands Regiment.

Here comes those Russkies!
OK so these pix are not the best and were done very quickly on the iPhone but I thought before I flew off again I'd share the punctuation mark activity conducted during my construction of Derry's walls.
I have prepped up one each of all 20 sculpts so far mastered but only managed to complete the painting of four. They were are real joy to do and actually very quick due to the elegant simplicity of...
I am an Idiot
Clarence Harrison - So, yeah. I have painted a pile of Warfare Miniatures infantry and I have an equally large pile to go. Changing it up always helps break the monotony of the grind when you have a lot of models to paint so I thought for King James II's Royal Irish Foot regiment I would use the excellent Warfare Miniatures Maison du Roi models.
Pretty cool right? Of course, this regiment was one...
