Revell 02558 Confederate Sharpshooter

Something quick in between. Holliday is coming near and I want to do some posts before I'll go. Am I the only the only one that when he sees a figure, he gets the feeling that he has to paint it. Well with this figure I had that feeling so I painted him.

It's a figure from the Revell Confederate Infantry set and you can see the review here. You will see that this set is a reissue from the old Accurate set.

He had some nasty mold lines, but I managed to remove almost all of them. He painted up very nice, so more will follow.

Enjoy the pictures!

I hope you like him!

Nikolai Arab Civilians On the road

This is a set of figures I received from Michael of Germania-Figuren as a gift. The only thing I had to do is to paint them and integrade them in modern diorama. I'm still working on that, but I hope to have it finished as soon as possible.

It's set four of this range of figures. They are made from resin and they painted very well. They are sculpted by Erik Trauner from Diorama Dreamland 1/72. And I must say he did an excellent job on these. Nice details and not hard to paint.

Pity enough only one picture because the pictures of the seperate figures aren't good enough. I take some new ones as soon as possible.

I hope you like them!

I would like to promote a very nice blog, of a fine Irish lady called Anne. Give her blog a visit and see how she is teasing Ray! Her blog is Anne's Attic.

VA127 Medieval Guards on Duty

This is another great set from Valdemar. These figures supposed to be on guard in a castle. Well I'm going to use them in an other way. But more about that in another post.

In the review on Plastic Soldier Review the figures are in resin, as you can see here, but the ones I've painted are made from metal. I must confess that I rather paint plastic figures, but in this case I made an exception. I just had some trouble with the spears. I didn't get them all straight. The painting went well and they are very good sculpted. The rating on PSR, with all 10's is well deserved.

Enjoy the pictures!

I hope you like them!

Hat 8141 Macedonian Elephant

I hear it Paul saying: "You're lazy". Well I'm not. I'm just not so active on blogger as I would like to be. What I'm going to show is something I made for the latest Painting Competition on Benno's Figures Forum. It wasn't a great succes, but it was never the less fun painting it.

This set was easy to built. The elephant comes in three parts and fit well together. Also the painting went very well. Not to many details and clear sculpts. A complete review of this set can be found here.

Enjoy the pictures!

I hope you like them!

And also a big thank you to you all for this:

Thank you all for visiting my blog and reaching this number of pageviews!

Valdemar Set 124 Pilgrims Part 1

I call it Part 1 because it's just one figure and horse from the complete set, as can be seen here. I had the luck that I could buy this set in resin, wich I like more as metal figures. It painted up very well and I really like the look of this figure.

I had a discussion with my wife about this figure. Is it a knight playing the mandoline, or is it just a troubadour? He has chainmail so I go for the knight. Oh yes, the discussion started when I was making my little dio for the FIGZ 2012 painting competition.

Enough talking, pictures now!

I hope you like him!

PS: I have to catch up a lot on all your blogs. I will give them a visit as soon as possible. I'm painting to much :-D
