Bodyguard Done, Zulu War WIP 2

Well it been a slow few days for me, been under the weather. I have managed a few hours on the brush which was enough to complete the bodyguard (just bases left), and i made a good start on the Zulu war figures. I like how the flesh turned out but the trousers are a little light for my taste, I am going to leave them as is because I plan to sell these off and someone will not mind the lighter trousers I am sure.

Further work on a few projects

I had one of those productive days when you advance a few different projects. I finally did a bit more work on my Greek Bust and am almost done with the two bodyguards and I made some progress on the bases of the Zulu war figures and brushed on the primer.

Bodyguard WIP 2, plus stuff for Ebay

Well I spent another hour on these two today and am working with washes for the shade then over painting for highlight. Not sure about the look but nice to try some thing new.

 I have also dug out a few things which I plan to paint and sell to get some money together (not for hobby things alas). It is my daughters 21 this year and that means a big party... I hope to pay for most of it through my commissions and Ebay.

So my first lot are these great figures from Empress miniatures they are the Hollywood version of the Rorke's drift characters, a great set . I had a few nasty mould lines to clean up for nothing to get upset about.
