Announcing my painting service!

As the world is going to end this year I have decided to jack the rat race and go full-time with my painting service. My website is now live but still a WIP LINK . This blog, as well as my others will remain hobby related. Apart from the little advert on the top right and bottom of the the blogs and this short post I will not be commercialising them. So if you like what you see and you either got to much cash or to much lead for Christmas, send it my way!

I finally managed to find time to paint some figures last week, sadly not Samurai. These are beautiful figures from Perry miniatures and a real joy to paint. They are now on ebay
here is a link EBAY
a couple more Napoleonic pieces are also on Ebay

Far to busy.....

Hi folks sorry for the lack of posts, Since the little ones arrival I really havnt had much time to paint. Hopefully we will eventually have Grace in a routine so I can crack on with my ever growing lead mountain.
I have managed to prep up and research more Samurai, now all I need is a few hours each day to relax and paint them.

All being well new pictures soon!

thank you for your patience

SPECIAL DELIVERY!

On the 17th of January I received two very special deliveries!!

The first one was a package from Perry miniatures which i had been waiting for for a very long time. First the order was never received and then it was posted out swiftly after reordering on the 31st December by Perrys. The reason It didnt arrive until then was because the local post office in all its wisdom had decided it was to dangerous to deliver anything heavier than a piece of paper. So I impatiently had to wait for my reinforcements until the life threatening, hazardous snow had thawed out enough for the intrepid posty to make his way safely up my path. So finally on Sunday the 17th the parcel arrived. Sadly i wasnt in at the time so had to wait until the next day to pick up my goodies....

The second package is even more special and i have waited even longer for this one, roughly nine months!! Baby Grace was born at 1547 weighing in at a slight 6lb 7. She was born standing up and gorgeous if I may say so myself. she must take after her mum..

The most important figure I received in my order was this little chap. Now all I need to do is get the other little one to sleep so I can slap on some paint!

Now I can finally crack on with my first Takeda command base, which will be finished by the weekend. hopefully.....

Whilst I was waiting for my order I managed to finish another commission this time a regiment of 12 Moss troopers, these are fantastic sculpts and a pleasure to paint.

Right period, wrong continent

Here are a few pictures of an English civil war officer I have painted whilst awaiting my Perry miniatures order to enable me to crack on with my Samurai. I had fun painting this and it may well lead to me painting a few more....

But dont worry I havnt given up on the Samurai, I promise I will be back in the far east soon!
