Work on my market stalls has also seen a lot of progress and even though I'm very disappointed with them I've continued working on them.
Here's a few more pics of the results of this week's output:
The 'hogs' running the other way with figure for scale |
Full frontal view (ooh err!) |
Bitcher stall (incomplete), from Iron Gate |
View of ;table top' |
Scratch-built stall probably for materials |
Another scratch-build earmarked for a pottery stall |
Scatch-built canopy over a "frontline" stall |
Order from "w=Warlords |
£20 for 20 Tribals and £20 for 42 Zouaves, I can;t figure out why one is relativel so expensive.
The Zouaves came with a single usable officer (I wanted two), whilst the Tribals can muster eight archers (I wanted ten), so slightly disappointed but overall happy.
The brushes are OK, a large a small and a dry brush, which should see good service.
The Afghans I ordered from "Atlantic" still haven't materialised, but given the current climate I'm not surprised.
That's it then for this week, I'll once more be playing catch-up with all the blogs I follow.
Thanks for taking the time to visit and as always your comments are both welcomed and appreciated.
Splendid Warthogs Joe and I love that gory butcher's stall.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, the Warthogs are grea t odels, wish I could have done them more justice.
DeleteThe table-top wasn't meant to be gory - just 'in use'
Fantastic stuff Joe!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal, they're good enough for my purposes.
DeleteGreat looking warthogs and the market stalls look ace! It is disappointing when you don't get enough command, mind you in the victrix Napoleonic boxes you often get too many!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, I'm contemplating a re-think on the stalls, but will still keep the ones I've already made.
DeleteThe problem that manufactuers have of course is the rules they tend to be aimed for. At least with come plastics extra sprues can be bought. Metal figures are going the same way in their packs too !
Great stuff Joe - I think the stalls look good, especially the bloody butchers table! Interesting new figures too.
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT, without a bit of blood flowing abot the tabletip would be a bit bland imo.
DeleteThey look a lot better then my ones Joe & the stalls are looking well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Frank, I'm just happy that the warthogs look a bit like what they're meant to be. The bought stalls are better imo than my scratchbuilt, but both won;t affect any game directly.
DeleteGreat work on all Joe, and nice to see you've had some of your new toys arrive
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, the stalls still a long way to go, but the new stuff is lovely.# and I still have the Afghans' arrival to look forward to.
