I found these chaps in the Toybox last weekend and thought I'd daub a bit of paint on them - seemed rude not to. I wanted them to look a bit grubby but they've ended up a touch grubbier than I expected!
Otherwise, nothing much to report. I'm waiting for a new bulb for my Magnifier/Light thing without which I can't see to paint (try to paint) - hopefully it will arrive next week.
Stay safe everyone

Clearly there is something off camera to the right , as the bloke at that end looks quite anxious that he is about to get smacked by it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work - these look great.
What varnish/finish do you use for these?
Matt acrylic paint, brown ink and then a gloss varnish
ReplyDeleteI think there may have been a sabre toothed domestic mogey approaching...
Lovely find sir. Excellent job with the painting too, you have really brought out their character.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr Sprinks, they're characterful figures
DeleteUnfortunately, I believe that I begin to look like these glorious ancestors, after 6 weeks in confinement without barber... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa! I know what you mean Philotep.
DeleteGreat work, I look forward to seeing what you will use them for.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think they are going to pop up in Fantasy or Pulp skirmish games, as soon as I get the table back (both of our tables are still being utilized as "Offices"!!)
DeleteI like these a lot and as grubby as any well-dressed cro-magnon or primate etc. should look !
ReplyDeleteANy idea of the manufacturer and 'scale' -they're 'new' to me.
Thanks Joe. If I remember correctly they were 28mm Neanderthals made by the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Co. I checked their web-site but they only have a very limited range these days. I will have a root around at home and see if I can track down anything else I have by HLBS.
DeleteIls sont superbes, magnifique travail!
ReplyDeleteMerci Phil vous etes trop gentil!
