Storme - Anicius

This is a figure from a very old collection of figures that came with a pack of coffee from the brand Storme. I believe in other countries they came with Mokarex and Mokalux coffee. And as I'm always in to paint something else, this was a great figure to paint. Nice sculpted with not to many details. Size of the figure is 54mm and painted with acrylic paint.

First I show you the end result and then how it looked when I received it. I think it looks much better now, but that is of course my personal opinion.

Base marking


And a couple more of the finished figure



I hope you like it what I did with this figure. And if you have some of these figures lying around I can only say this, paint them or send them to me! :-D

Schilling AEG-02 Egyptian Command 2

A friend of mine on Benno's Figures Forum would say: "Again some figures in kilts!". Well sorry for him, yes I continue with these figures which I like very much. And there are more to come, but not now. I have to do some work for the FIGZ meeting at the beginning of June.

This time the command group has five figures with again some standard bearers. Also included a a figure with a trumpet to call the orders to the troops I guess.

Maybe something I may mention here but the sculpter of these figures i Frank Germershaus. And I find he did a fantastic job. Thanks Frank and keep those figures coming! More information of this set can be found here on the Schilling Figuren site. I hope you like them.






I made also a picture with the two command stands together.


And also from my Egyptian army so far.




And to give you an idea, here are the unpainted figures of this set.


And now back to work!

Schilling AEG-01 Egyptian Command 1

Here is another nice set of the Egyptian range of Schilling-figuren. The first command set counts 4 figures with two figures as what I would like tocall some kind of flags of that time. Like most of my Egyptian figures I painted them with white and green as main colors. And as this is called Egyptian Command 1, you can figure out that there will be more of this kind of figures. Keep watching. In the mean time here are the painted figures of this set.





Here you can see how they look unpainted.


 I hope you like them.

I also would like to make some promotion for the FIGZ meeting on June 5th at Arnhem. Hopefully we can recieve a lot of visitors at the location. More information can be found here at Benno's Figures Forum (Shops, wargames, workshop, bring and show....)

Hat 8079 Nubian Infantry

These Nubian Infantry figures are some loose figures that were lying around here and they were screaming for a layer of paint. Which I gave them.






Box art and unpainted figures. Pictures from Plastic Soldier Review.




Hopefully one day I can paint the figures of the Caesar set to.

Thanks for watching!

Caesar H046 Philistine Warriors en H048 The Sea People

I really wanted to show some more figures this month so here are some unsensored pictures of two sets from Caesar. The first one are the H046 Philistine Warriors and the second one the H048 The Sea Peoples set.

Both sets are very nice sculpted and are easy to paint as they don't have to much details. I need to paint a lot more of these but this is what i have done so far. As you can see both sets go very well together and in the future I mix them up a bit more.
















Some of these figures are repainted a bit to go with the others. And a close look at the pictures tells me that I have some retouches. But not now. More figures are in the finishing stage and I want to do that first. In the mean time I hope you like these.

Schilling AEG-17 Feeding horses for warwagons

These are some metal figures made by Schilling-figuren. They made a whole range of these Egyptian figures and I like these so much because they look so peacefull with the horses and the soldier touching the horse head. Nice to make a scene behind the battlelines. They painted up very easy and I can say there is more to come of this range. But that is for another time. In the mean time enjoy the pictures of this one.











I really hope you like them and as said there are more on the way from this range. Maeby not always peacefull but really nice figures.
