So how many “little breaks” do I get to take from a project before I can consider myself “totally distracted”…?
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
Ancient Persians from Casting Room
Miniatures (who are currently having a “pre-xmas” 20% off sale on
their historical miniatures like these – I did not pick these up in the sale.
I’ve had these a while. Though I’m
not entirely sure WHEN I picked them up… probably a year and a half ago when I
was picking up stuff for Song
of Shadows and Dust.
Thracian Women from Wargames Foundry
which is the same guys as Casting Room Miniatures… but a different website –
which is SUPER annoying because orders cannot be combined If I want to order 4
packs from one and 4 from the other I have to pay twice the shipping I would if
they were all from the same website – actually at 8 packs (combined) it would
ship free from one or the other…. (unlike… say… North Star Figures
which also sells Artizan
Designs and Copplestone Castings
and Crusader
Miniatures and maintains separate websites for each of them – they
all go to the same cart and orders can be combined).
I digress…
Here’s what their backsides look
like.
Gorgons! The one that is
primarily red and yellow (tried to go for a Corn Snake look) is from Reaper
Miniatures, the other three are from Wargames Foundry
or Casting Room
Miniatures… I forget which… I think they may be the one line that is
available through BOTH websites! The Black Snake gorgon I actually painted… um…
wow I guess it was over
four years ago - but I’ve included her here with the others because…
well.. they’re all done so I thought I’d take a picture of the group….?
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Back to the Great War Canadians…
no, really… the 19th (Central Ontario) Battalion is the only thing on my
workbench and I’m not putting anything else on there until they’re done!
Great work, Tim! I really like your pattern work on the textiles. Clothing patterns make the figures pop!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. The Thracians were a lot of fun (if a bit time-consuming), but afterwards I ended up feeling a little lazy that I hadn't made the Persians a little fancier...
DeleteAwesome! Clothes are just fantastic, great colors and wonderful details, excellent job Tim!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Phil!
DeleteLove those Thracians! Great work with the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nic! One day I'll get them on the table in a game of Song of Shadows and Dust! Perhaps as some foreign mercenary bodyguard types....? Probably should have left the shields off if I was going for urban street gang thug types, though... the one with the baby will make a great bystander.
DeleteLovely...especially the Gorgons!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gordon!
DeleteNice diversion, lots of colour, must make a great change from khaki!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
It is definitely nice to take little breaks from the Khaki. I need to make them smaller breaks if I want to get all the khaki (and FELDGRAU!) done in time for next April!
DeleteRan into the same issue with ordering from Wargames Foundry/Casting Room Miniatures, but I sent an email with what I wanted, and they returned a paypal invoice with combined shipping.
ReplyDeleteThanks EY! I figured there would probably be a way to do something like that... still.. bit of a pain in the butt. Good to know they are willing to do that though. (Not that I'll be buying anything soon - not due to not being unhappy with them or not having anything I'd like or anything like that - more due to having over spent my toy-buying budget for this year - and most of NEXT year!?)
DeleteIf you contact Foundry direct rather then placing an order on their website they will allow a mixed £80 order to be post free - so they told me a few months ago - I haven't tried it yet
ReplyDeleteGood to know! Thanks, David!
