A much more eclectic selection this week. First up is a unit a Carthaginian light infantry with simple hand painted shields. The figs are Wargames Factory plastics and I'm not a fan. he musician is a spare from the Romans and is Crusader - much better figures
Next up is the HMG for my Tsuba German Sailors, another lovely sculpt.
Next are some British Sailors to fight the Zulus. 10 should be enough I think to deal with those Zulu hordes. These are lovely Copplestone Castings.
The Sennet hats are supposed to be much more yellow but they looked very camp - like an outing of Japanese Schoolgirls.
Finally the eponymous selection. The Good, The Bad and The Weird is a mental Korean action movie set in 1940's Manchuria. I strongly recommend it.
The figures are from Tsuba and a joy
Overall that is 36 figures (21 with hand painted shields) and a manned gun. I leave this to you tender mercy Dave.
Oh I've also painted my very cool Curtgeld but more of that later.
Martin continues to knock em out.. with another fine mixed entry . Particularly taken with the HMG - a serious bit of kit. And the sailors in Stennet hats - might just have to blag a few of those myself. I will round this on eup to 200 for the sheilds -

cheers
Deletenice eclectic painting, well done Martin!
ReplyDeletegood to mix it up a little, ta
DeleteGreat variety here! The Wargames Factory miniatures ARE a bit ordinary, showing their age in that they were one of the early hard plastic options. Sculpting for this medium has come a long way in a short time. You've done well with them.
ReplyDeleteCheers, very hard to get motivated to paint them but they've come out alright. Loads of Gauls to paint, although they are slightly better, and slightly worse
DeleteNice mix of well-painted figures Martin :)
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteA great range of minis - I like the Tsuba minis a lot. Excellent painting
ReplyDeleteLoving the Tsuba stuff, they have some new Chinese Tong figures coming shortly
DeleteAh, I picked up that film recently, after the Wargames Illustrated article. Not got around to watching it yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking selection of figures too :)
Ta, watched the film ages ago and it is bonkers
DeleteGreat entry. My favorite is the MG team as well. Korean movies can be pretty off the wall.
ReplyDeleteThe MG is good, will play with it this weekend. My sister likes Korean Horror movie, which are horrible
DeleteHaving painted the Copplestone sailors myself I will happily say how good you have finished them. They look super. I am about to try "Dragon Rampant" this weekend so I hope they are as good as you hint. The Carthaginians also stand out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, still not happy with eyes - I'm never happy with the eyes. Dragon Rampant is fab, best set of rules I've played in 20 years. Simple, fast and subtle.
ReplyDeleteSo... Ask yourself do you need to paint them, or just suggest them better..
DeleteYou very rarely see eyes on any of mine
Pretty cool mini's I watched that movie it's totally bonkers! You did capture the look of the characters nicely!
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteGreat job as usual! Love how this constitutes as a quiet week for you ;) Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteTa, did no painting at all Saturday and only about an hour on Sunday, the results of which are not here. Now if I could only be happy with the faces
DeleteGreat work for back of beyond.
ReplyDeleteCool aren't they. Tsuba have some good Japanese figs that would be good with Back of Beyond
DeleteReally nice!
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteI love Copplestone stuff and especially the naval brigade. Great to see them getting some love! Well done Martin, these are really nice ideed.
ReplyDeleteCheers, my first purchase from Copplestone and I will be back for more
DeleteDamn, but those last three look good - splendid sculpts and extra marks due for niche interest! Must check these out in more detail some time...
ReplyDeleteTa, just watching the movie again now, it's still mental.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Martin......is there any stopping you???
ReplyDeleteta. apparently not, did a lot of prepping yesterday and a lot of painting today. I may not be top on Friday
DeleteVery nice work, Martin! I see painting the large blocks of Zulus has warmed you up nicely! ;)
ReplyDeleteTa, you know what, they did. Mojo working now, but still can't do eyes to my satisfaction after many years if trying. May only buy figures with sunglasses in future
DeleteVery cool stuff Martin! I have that trio as well and you've done a wonderful job on them (and that is one whacky film).
ReplyDeleteTa, thought you may have them, they are irresistible aren't they. Watched the film again and have missed off the weird's moustache.
DeleteI'll have to check out that film, nice one!
