Couple of finished guys  

Posted by Jerry

I am trying to finish up every figure I start. Even if they are not turning out well. I'll at least learn some thing from each one of them.

Here is John Willowby. John signed on in the King's service in 1642 and has performed admirably. Equally adept at pike or matchlocke, John can been seen filling in as needed, all for King and regiment.




Pierre Malady has been in the service of Loathar for a number of years. He stands beside Heinrick DuBair in formation. He and Heinrick share everything, at least Pierre thought so, he remains unaware that Heinrick is planning a move to Bearstein.



I still need some silicone to make any real progress on making armies. Till then, I'm just working mostly on one off figures for practice. I have chosen a manufacturer and supplier of Silicone but havn't the money at the moment to sink into it. The palace coffers are a bit low right now. At 145 bucks a gallon, it aint' exactly spare change, no real rush though.

I have been considering painting up some troops I have that I am not likely to use and selling them on ebay or something. That would help jump start my efforts.

Good Gaming!

Pierre looks quite good . . . and so does the earlier photo of Heinrick . . . but I, of course, feel that the latter is by far the more perceptive of the two.

Your Loathar guys look quite good indeed: cheers!
... even if the 'bad guys' look froggy: here we are neutral!

Not bad for early efforts.
One thing to keep in mind is whether you are doing these as toy soldiers for a tabletop army vs. sculpting individual figures for rpgs or as "art". The tabletop army guys just need to look good en masse from gaming distance. Once I realized that I was able to proceed with efforts in this regard.
In the end it's your goal and what pleases you that really counts.

Looking forward to seeing more progress when you get into the casting side.

Thank you again for the books, I have nearly finish reviewing them all.

Excellent coverage of the 1809 period from the Austrian perspective.

I shall be doing some more posting and planning about the whole situation in the coming week.
