"Say Cheese"

Cameraman with 'portable' camera

So this week once more saw me picking up my brushes to finish off a few figures originally for 'Jimland' but got side-lined whilst I was painting my Sudanese.
The figures are all from Col. Bill's and probably have name that I instantly forget.

I've used the Shotgun House I showed last week, as a backdrop.

There are no rules in 'Jimland' for "Photographers" or "Reporters" but I've taken ideas from "The Black Amazons In King Solomon's Lost City Of The Diamond Mines In The Elephant's Graveyard At The Source Of The Nile" a source I've used for many of my 'Jimland' rule ideas.

The sorceress' apprentice Cameraman's assistant

He's painted identically to the cameraman..

...so he can be shown without the camera set-up.

 The assistant could also be used as a reporter 9the plates doubling as a notebook

Rear view (for those that like this sort of thing)

Her assistant (yet another liability!)

Obligatory blurry picture

 The women and the photographer are useful for 'missions', giving players extra problems, but also reasons to go into the wilds of 'Jimland' on various tasks and quests.

Group shot (bit obvious really)

So after a couple of painting sessions, this leaves very few figures left to paint for 'Jimland' (some pack animals, four 'settlers' and four slaves iirc).

I've had a very interesting week hobby-wise exchanging a few emails and 'assisiting' daGobbo with his excellent Chariot Racing game (he may view it differently).

I've also been preparing some cards for a pirate game (solo if my potential opponent doesn't show) and my wargames room, with a bit of luck,  will be back in action within a week or so.

But that's it for this week, the football beckons...

Thanks for taking the time to visit and hopefully finding something of interest; as always your comments are always welcomed and appreciated.
