From ClintB (Paint Monkey): 28mm 1882 Egyptians (120 Points)


Yes I missed the deadline last week, let's just say computer problems, camera problems and a bit of apathy. I would like to say it's all fixed now but it's not, but at least I can post again. First off we have some Perry miniatures 28mm Egyptians. a total of 24. 2 Officers in dark blue, 2 musicians, 2 standard bearers and 18 rankers marching.


It is easy to think that all the rankers are the same. They are not. There are minor differences, some have moustaches others are clean shaven, also some of the tassels are in different places. Yes hey are minor differences but ones I did relish while I was painting them all.


The standard bearer below has a chip on his base which is now painted over. I was so keen not to miss another deadline. Oh well.

The flags are simple paper affairs purchased by Matt for whom these are painted. Truth to admit I don't even know if they are the right way up. I suspect they are though. The observant among you will note that the red flag waves backward and the green forward. Yes I admit it I made a mistake while applying them, still accidents happen and maybe it's just a gusty day.

  2. Very nice indeed Clint. The flesh tone is spot on and I like the white over buff coat colour as well. Matt's a lucky chap!

    1. Thank you Millsy. I have found it hard to paint a white to look like white. So Still experimenting on what I think It should look like.
