I have been doing a lot of commission painting recently - actually over the last twelve months- which is brilliant as I am currently out of the workforce on "doctor's orders". I would quite like to paint as a part-time job if I could build up my client base over time. Anyway, at the moment I have been painting for a fellow Tasmanian wargamer & collector who has been great to work with and I can show you some sneak peeks of some stuff I have been working on for him.
What I can show you at the moment is a Dad's Army/Home Guard project using Wargames Foundry 28mm miniatures. They are great character figures and capture the look really well.

I am also working on a Plastic Soldier Company Pak 38 & crew, a few British Commandos & other bits 'n bobs at present. Stay tuned.
PS If you know anyone who needs painting done at very reasonable prices drop me a line - email address is on the "Jacksarge's Painting Service" link :-)
Beautiful figures and great paint job, details are most impressive!

ReplyDeleteThanks mate, tried to make sure I got the colours about right.
DeleteSurprisingly good likenesses at this scale. I recognised most of those guys right off.
ReplyDeleteHi Archduke. Yes, the Wargames Foundry versions have been round a while but I think they hold up rather well.
DeleteWhere's the Butcher's Van? :-) Nice work.
ReplyDeleteHi Doug, thanks.
DeleteDidn't get sent a van to paint up, not sure if the customer already has one in his collection.
Lovely paint jobs, I can hear the tune in my head already!
ReplyDeleteG'day Alan, I'm glad you like 'em :-)
DeleteFantastic. You've really got the characters to a T.
ReplyDeleteThankyou good sir!
DeleteIt does help that the sculpts are full of character as well as fun to paint :-)
