Painting for August

Another slow month for reasons already discussed.
Having said that I have completed a further forty Russians for the army of Muscovy.

This time they include some of the recently (April 2009 anyway - which is recent for Musketeer Miniatures) released pikes.

The pikemen are a simple casting with little in the way of accoutrement's other than a scabbard, which as is customary with Bill needs gluing in place. The figures are well cast with hardly any flash and mould lines. Perhaps because the musket is heavier, these figures feel slimmer than the musketeers previously released. However, they are excellent and look superb en masse.

So forty more figures takes the years tally to 957.

Sharp looking men there, Paul. Your painting tally for the year is impressive too. I'm terribly envious!

Best Regards,

Exactly. 40 is a slow month? My target is 24 (which I rarely achieve). Your Russians look great. I'm hoping Bill will be at Colours in a couple of weeks so I can gently berate him about the lack of command!

Superb figures as always!! 40 a year would be my score!

Nice figures, I think if you keep over one a day you are doing pretty well.
