Caesar Dwarf 1/10 and Christmas teaser

My good friend Pascal is busy with a Hobbit month on his blog. I thought, I give him support and here is one of the ten dwarfs of this set I want to paint. I know they are with 13 in the book, so I might do some conversion to get them complete.

As you all know between dwarfs they don't talk about tribes, but about shields. As this one has no shield, I painted him with green trousers, so he's a member of the green shields.

The pictures:

And I promised you a Christmas teaser! Well here it is. Wich historical person will ride this:

I need new trousers!

Again this is a figure sculpted by my good friend Alex. It's a "Landsknecht" with a kaketoe on his arm and a hole in his pants!  As you see I swichted colours on left and right side. I've seen this on pictures of this period and thought it would be a nice idea. This time the figure wasn't that easy to paint. There were a lot of hidden details and not easy to reach with the brush. Some parts I had to repaint because I forgot to paint the lower parts.But finally I managed and the result you can see here.

The occasion to paint this figure came by having a duel on Benno's with Remco from Remco Miniatures. He post only once a month on his blog and I'm assuming that he only paint one figure a month to! But he makes some great things, and isn't feared to make some conversions. The result of the duel can be seen here.

The pictures:

I hope you like him!

Hat 8182 Natal Native Horse

Time is going fast and I realised that it has been a week that I posted something. But I also missed some things. When I was painting Wolsung Lord James Fouley, I passed the 40.000 hits. So a big thank you to you all for helping me reaching this milestone!

And last week when I posted that award, I saw to late that it was my post one hundred. So I celebrated that with....... a cup of coffee and a cookie! :-D My naughty followers (and I have some!) were thinking something else! ;-) But I couldn't have reached this number without the help, comments and fun of you all! Thank you for the support through the first hundred posts!

Speaking about that award, I had a fourth nomination from Piotr Henryk Nowacki from Revolutionaries blog. A blog about Ancient Historic 28 mm and 1/72 miniatures! Have a visit at his blog and be amazed!

Now back to the post title. Natal Native Horse from Hat is a very fine set, wich painted very easy. Not to much colours and details, but the result may be seen. A review of them can be read here on PSR.

Here are the pictures:

Again a nice addition to my Zulu War figures. I hope you like them!
