These fearsome chaps were yet another planned entry for the 'Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge' that I sadly didn't manage to progress any further than their black undercoat! Having reunited myself with them, I was hopeful that I might be able to get them off the table relatively quickly, but then I decided to do stripes!
These were from the wonderful 'Mutineer Miniatures' and besides my mutterings were actually a joy to paint. Wonderfully animated and full of character they will add to the slowly growing mutineer force. I now need to decide whether or not to rebase my earlier efforts!
I also managed to finally get around to following up a lead that Andrew Saunders from 'Loki's Great Hall' had alerted me to that of 'Tajima Miniatures'. Great product and service and as you can see a nice variety of scale with the tufts; certainly worth a look.
They look wonderfull Michael! I'm actually painting some Dervish warriors in scale 1/72. I hope I can show them soon!

Thank you Peter and looking forward to seeing your Dervish Warriors.
DeleteAmazing work on that striped shawl! Very nice characterful figures overall.
ReplyDeleteThe self-adhesive tufts look interesting too.
Thank you Edwin, I do like using tufts as they are quick to apply and help to break up the terrain.
DeleteI can second the Tajima tuffs I have use a couple of orders now and good service plus good value. These are great Michael some real character.
ReplyDeletePeace James
Thank you James, Tajima were certainly a great find.
DeleteFabulous painting as usual from you. I love the blanket's colors. The tufts of grass do look good too. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean, the tufts are top quality too.
DeleteBeautifully done!! I've been meaning to get some of these for Indostan - some very nice figures there. Those tufts come in a big box.

DeleteGreat work Michael, lovely skin tones... thanks for the heads up on the tufts
ReplyDeleteNot a problem and thank you Scott.
DeleteLove the stripes mate. Great choice of colours and it really paid off the extra effort. Agree with Scott too, your skin tones are spot on. Care to share your technique?
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Tajima - I'll have to check them out...
Thank you Millsy, the skin tones are the Foundry 'Dusky Flesh' palette, seemed to do the trick.
DeleteFantastic job on these. As stated by others that blanket is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteRod
Thank you Rod, it was worth the extra effort.
DeleteThese wallahs look just the ticket for burning the British compound at Cawnpore, what?
ReplyDeleteLovely work! So much detail in such basic figures!
Thank you Ben, certainly fearsome bunch; there is real venom in them eyes.
DeleteVery nice modeling, Sir.

Thank you Stuart, War without Mercy sounds intriguing!
DeleteCracking work Michael, well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you that man!
DeleteThe stripes were worth it. Looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sean, I'm pleased that I stuck with them.
DeleteWow the stripes are top notch! This is a wonderful band of mutineers. The tufts add just the right touch.
ReplyDeleteThank you Robert, great fun to do in the end.
DeleteThese chaps are simply splendid. The striped cloth is a winning touch (I can always appreciate good work on textiles!), and the skin tones have been accomplished with a great deal of subtlety.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work as usual!
Thank you Ev, the sculpts are a joy to work with.
DeleteThose stripes were worth the wait. Wonderful painting Michael.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pat.
Pat that is very kind of you to say so, thank you.
