WIP Pictures

I managed to get some bad photos of my current works in progress. First up is the pirate project. All of these figures are from Peter Pig's Pirate range.

This is the second group of Spanish Militia that I have finished. They came out OK. The picture without the flash was way too dark. This one made them look shiny. Not sure why. They don't appear shiny when I look at them.

Once based, this will give me two complete groups for them. Only have 8 more of them to paint. Then it is on to the regulars.

Next up is two test pirates. I want them to look motley and unorganized so I am basically painting them as individuals. May change that if it becomes too annoying.

These two fellows need an ink wash and matt varnish before I am done with them. So far they are OK.

Then I finished a couple of Cold War Tanks. A T-55 and a T-72. They came out pretty good.

  1. They've all come out well. Are the tanks battlefront?

    1. The T-72 is one of the plastic battlefront kits. The T-55 is a Command Decision Model. I picked them all up off of eBay. The CD models were 4 for $9.00. The 5 T-72s were not such a great deal but not too bad.

  2. I just recieved a box of battlefronts T-64's and they're very nice. I did get a QRF T-72M1 but although it looks good from above has some problems with the wheels as there's a gap between the 1st and 2nd wheels like the T-55 which shouldn't be there.

    1. They are surprising nice kits for plastic. I have a box of BMPs from them that I have not opened yet. That is disappointing about the T-72.I am debating on getting T-64s or not. I think I will pass. I have enough T-72 to give 2 to my Syrians and enough T-55s to give one to my Syrians for Lebanon 82.

  3. well the T-64's are nice but I don't generally offer much more over the T-72 in most game systems, so it's probably not worth it from that point of view.
