Hello

I wasn't really sure on where to put this so I decided to plonk the topic here.

It's been a while since I last pushed putty in anger (the Landsknechts came out in 2009) so I decided to see if I still could do it. Mind you the optivisor now is more a necessity rather than occasional aid.  :D.

Anyway I was thinking about some fantasy armies and I thought I'd have a try at female Indo-Persian type guard that I could use for both Araby/Kingdoms of Ind type army. I've left the left hand free and done about 5 separate shields so that I can mix them up a bit. Pictures below (with some Pendraken Dragonmen for scale purposes):-





The woman is not as buxom as the picture suggests :P. Now to see if I can whip myself into a frenzy of activity to finish command figures and (shudder) a half completed horse  :D.

Cheers

Top Job. I used an Opti-Visor for the first time yesterday, I am impressed.

Excellent work, particularly bearing in mind the size of the mini.
If this ever became available, I would certainly buy some (my
mate is lucky enough to own an original Warmaster Araby army
and this would make either a lovely unit or addition to a character
base).

Great stuff.   Please tell me that this will be available to buy !!

Hi All

Thanks for the kind words, sorry for not responding up till now but I've bee caught in a maelstrom of ferrying people for doctors appointments, blood tests, getting the car in for a service and replacing a shower arm  =) =). People told me I'd be busier than ever after I retired and I laughed at them   :-[ :-[.

Selling them, I hadn't thought about it, I was going to check whatever RTV silicone I had lying around and do some drop casts.

If the rest turn out ok, I have a long term relationship with Nic from Eureka so I'll offer them to him.

Back to doing the horses eyes for a third time (sigh, horses are almost as hard as wheels and straight edges!!!)

Cheers
