From PeterD More LumberJills (30 points?)

Another pair of Lumberjills from Bad Squiddo.  Lovely sculpts in 28mm they were a joy to pose and paint and very realistically done.  This is a three part casting, with the two lumberjills and the the log each being separate.  The hand of one Jill is cast on the saw and fits nicely into a socket on her arm so easily that even I couldn't mess it up. 



This set, like many of the figures in the range. is based on a wartime photo as shown below.  It's an obviously posed phot for propaganda purposes but the overall effect is good.  









 Points wise that's two 28mm figures for 10 points plus I believe 20 points for the Sorceress plus a teleportation back to the Aquifer please.

  1. Nice work Peter! Your painting continues to improve, but also I notice you putting a lot of effort into the groundwork. Well done.

    1. Thanks Greg. Vignettes like this need some groundwork. Mostly it’s a matter of patience of adding some layers and letting stuff dry in between.

  2. What a cracking little vignette! Will it be for table dressing or will the Jills be taking up arms?

    1. Thanks Jamie. Originally I bought the figures because I like the figures and the history behind them. I have no WW2 figures. However, the Lardies now have CoC rules for using them on table so you never know.
