Hallo! Hallo! I'm Oscar! Have you got treats for me? No? Sob!
I'll just knock it off the shelf and see what's inside...
Sob-sob! No British squirrel dropping treats! Sob-sob!Hmmm, there's a metal box with buttons though. It must be a toy for me! I like toys! Tamsin likes me!!
So, how does this toy work? I guess you push one of these buttons...like this...errrr...ruh-roh!
Stay tuned for "The Adventures of Oscar: Time-Traveler, Slayer of Squirrels** and Very, Very Good Boy***"
* they're actually dog-chocolate drops
** if eating their droppings or barking loudly at them counts as slaying them
*** well, Curt, is he?
Although there are three dog figures in the penultimate photo, I'm only claiming for two of them in this submission (the third will be part of another post).
The figures are 28mm from The Assault Group, part of their "Lurchers & Hounds" pack. They are each about the size of a 15mm horse, so I'll ask for them to be scored as 2 x 15mm foot which comes out as 4 points.
A small start, but it puts me onto the table on Day 1.
ps - thanks to Curt for sending me some photos of Oscar so that I could get his markings right-ish.

Awww, Tamsin! Such a good girl!! :)
Wow. This is just fabulous Tamsin, I'm really very touched. Oscar has indeed been missing out on some of the K-9 attention from my paint desk, so it's good that you have his corner for him. You did a great job on his colouring as well, especially his russet patches. I'm definitely going to have to nab a pack of those from The Assault Group to add to my doggie stocks.
As you put in such amazing efforts on this, I think it warrants a few bonus points. :)
Thank you Tamsin, and welcome back to the Challenge.

I knew you'd like it! These mini versions of Oscar will be wending their way across the pond along with some other bits sometime in 2022.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thanks again so much, Tamsin!
DeleteAhh, love the doggos!
DeleteI am lookingforward to the continuing adventures of Time-Traveling Oscar!
👩🏻🚀
They should be fun adventures, along the lines of my own time-travels in AHPC X! :)
DeleteWooof!
ReplyDeleteLove them! Having been leaned against, stood on, drooled over and had my cavities searched by said canine, I can say that you’ve captured his goofy good nature well.
Having never actually met him (or Felix) but imagined what he would be like, so it's good to have it confirmed that I was on the right lines! :)
DeleteAll very good dogs❤
ReplyDeleteThey are, they are! :)
DeleteGrrr-rawll-woof-woof-yap
ReplyDeleteRow-row-row! Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh! :)
DeleteYou have captured Oscar to a tee! Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteThanks you! It was fun painting these doggo minis. :)
DeleteWoof Woof! Nice looking little hounds!
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
DeleteWhat a Barkingly good start of the Challenge Tamsin, can't beat a good Dog now can you?
ReplyDeleteCheers Sander
Thanks! :)
DeleteYou shouldn't even beat a bad dog! :)
Great looking dog! I have difficulty navigating the Assault Group site but now I know they're there I will look them up!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers! :)
DeleteIt's not the easiest site to find things on. There are various packs of dogs in the "Livestock" section.
The bestest boy.
ReplyDeleteEqual bestest with Felix! :)
DeleteNice one Tamsin. Never let it be said us Challengers aren't barking mad.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't think anyone ever said we weren't barking mad! :)
DeleteAh, man's best friend. Very well done, Tamsin, the likeness is amazing!
ReplyDeleteCheers! Not quite as hairy, perhaps, as the live version. :)
DeleteLovely work
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteCute doggies
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
DeleteI love the post! Oscar and Felix are lovely dogs and this is a great tribute to Oscar A.K.A. "Beef Dip".
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Douglas
'Beef Dip' approves of this comment. :)
DeleteThanks! They certainly look like lovely dogs from the photos I've seen of them. :)
Delete"Beef Dip"? A bit beefy and a bit dippy?
It's actually because of his pink jowls. :)
DeleteGreat looking minis, hopefully Oscar's travels will be filled with squirrel droppings galore.
ReplyDeleteCheers! I'm sure there will be wildlife droppings galore, not just squirrel! :)
DeleteWhat a great first entry, Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteVery well done Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteWonderful brushwork, Tamsin! The margins are very good, although I've never met Felix. My comfort clothes are covered in dog fur and doggo drool, so I know a good boy when I see one! ;)
ReplyDelete*markings* ...ducking spell check!
ReplyDeleteSlightly late, only now catching up with previous entrues, well done Tamsin!
