Hmm. Snooty, highbrow and a bit wordy. Why we have the perfect lady to lead us to the Literature stacks where we can find works from the pen of Agatha Christie. Joining us from High Street, in the village of St. Mary Mead, Miss Jane Marple shall guide us.
Ever insightful with regard to human nature her thoughtful but odd ways usually see the case to it’s conclusion. Much like her friend and well known sleuth Hercule Poirot. The Belgian detective appeared in 33 novels and 65 short stories and is the only fictional character to be honored with a front page obituary on The New York Times.
Oh, Just One More Thing...
They are joined by their compatriot from that relatively new upstart media called TV. The rumpled, seemingly confused and absolutely relentless Lt. Columbo.
All figures are from Artizan Designs. These were painted using the Two Thin Coats paint line designed by Duncan Rhodes. I took an enjoyable painting class or two with Duncan at Adepticon and couldn’t resist picking up his first KS release. I tended to pick up paints and related materials almost as frequently as I bought miniatures.
Points are straight forward this time for 55 points.
3 x 28mm figures * 5 pts = 15 points.
Library cart - 20 points.
Literature - 20 points.
Very Margaret Rutherford. Lovely
ReplyDeleteGreat painting and very nice figures. See these are for "Literature" and wonder what is in store for "True Crime"??
ReplyDeleteI shall focus in on the crime there.
DeleteThese are really nice, live the vibrant colours
ReplyDeleteVery snooty looking madam and others are great. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks all.
ReplyDeleteNice work.
ReplyDeleteGreat figures, wonderfully painted.
ReplyDeleteSufficient grey matter here to solve any mystery! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteReally like these, especially Hercule. How do you like Duncan's paints?
ReplyDeleteI find they are really easy to thin and use. I have the first KS which has some bottles that are "overfilled". Shaking hard and using a wet pallet fixes that.
DeleteSome truly inspired colour choices, I live the saturation
ReplyDeleteLovely set of figures!
ReplyDeleteNice addition Tom
ReplyDeleteGreat post today
ReplyDeleteArtizan have some great figures and you've really brought out the character in them with your painting
ReplyDeleteLove some Poirot. The purple gloves are a great touch.
ReplyDeleteOk, I might be forced to order something from Artizan, I didn't realize they made minis like this. And your brushwork really brings them to life, Tom!
