http://www.warlordgames.com/16687/pre-order-plastic-macedonians/ Macedonian pikemen coming soon for those who don't have skads of the little blighters already. More importantly the ex-mmortal metal figures are now available again. | |

No I don't think Jim is particularly into 28mm figures. Nick would be the obvious one as he loves plastic miniatures so much. On the subject I have finished one unit of plassy hoplites. The shield transfers are nice. I have nothing else to say on the matter... | |

You could always volunteer Jim, be good practise for you. It will remind you of when you were a small child and having to stick the little fiddly bits of plastic kits together, learn how to paint real figures and would be of help to the rest of us. Has anyone heard from Nick ? Nick where are you ? | |

damn im gonna bring my beaten up paint job of a figure i did a dozen years ago round to show you what im capable of , and thats like my 2nd paint job ever, i never really painted alot of mini's back in the day we had shop painter for that but im not bad, just not great. gonna try for some barbed wire bases in a few maybe. found my card stock so may have a go at it today , prolly not though still waiting for district nurse to turn up for mum. | |

All thats needed is practice, you have a bit of time, you only need an hour or so a day, and you'll soon get the hang of it and get better, most of it is working out a system rather than trying to paint better, get a system that works - dry brush, washes whatever works for you. Practice, practice, practice.:D | |

Dry brushing: that's when I get distracted, wander off and the paint dries on the brush, isn't it? | |

Halfway through 2 more units (all metal) and cleaning up 2 more (metal and Spartans.) I will only go back to the plastic figures if I reaaally need them. Photos soon.
