Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Macedonian Hypaspists

 Finished 8 more figures for my commission. These are Alexander's Hypaspists. 

Three photos of four each as the spear length my customer wanted was problematic at getting them all in shot for my small photo booth. 

Have to work on 24 more shields now that the customer has given them to me to finish the 24 pike block models I have already done. About 80 percent done with 12 archers. Then I think another 12 of something foot. I don't remember. Then on to his Cavalry.







As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

    These look amazing. The different helmets, even though they are in uniforms, really make them individuals! Really nice paint! Z shall be a very proud fellow.

      Oh, and I love that you used the extremely long spears on them. Those things will be "in the way" the rest of Z's life.

      We try to teach the young’ins but we have both learned that they have to experience it to figure it out.

      Thanks for the compliments

      Thanks Dave, and those transfers on the shields combine well with colors.
