...in the shape of a base of Breton archers, allied to Duke William the Barsteward's Normans for my 1066 & All That project. As with all the other elements of the Duke's forces these were painted by Phil - Olaf's Painting Service - and based by yours truly ~
The figures are from the old Foundry Norman range by the Perrys rather than the more recent range by Matt. I picked them up at Partizan by mistake, that is I thought they were Matt's and didn't look at them closely. But, they are half decent figures and Phil has made a good job of them. In due course I am confident that there will be more for this project, but not just yet...
You both did a nice job on them David.

Thank you Christopher, we both appreciate that!
DeleteGood to see the 1066 contingents growing and thd sculpts stand up well.
ReplyDeleteThey will do, as a friend might well have said.
DeleteThey look good but do show their age a bit in terms of sculpting. Hopefully the next batch will be Matt's newer sculpts and we can compare and contrast, as they used to say in school.
ReplyDeleteI agree, they turned out nicely but are rather stiff sculpts by modern styles.
DeleteThough not a patch on Matt's or the Perry's later work they scrubbed up well I think. Nicely set off by your basing.
ReplyDeleteYour brushwork makes the most of what are fairly stiff figures really. Glad you approve of my modest basing efforts! Hope you have recovered from the day holding up the sky yesterday.
DeleteLovely new additions to the collection…
ReplyDeleteSplendid work from both of you.
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly, we do our best!
DeleteNice addition to the chancer’s army David.
ReplyDeleteThank you George!
DeleteThey look like half-decent figures to me Dave, but with Phil's expert painting skills, and your excellent basing technique, they would certainly grace any table! Great work both...
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, much appreciated.
