| Not exactly replacements, just extras with an undamaged standard. |
 |
| They seem to have turned out OK - the basic orange/green with yellow cloaks works better than I expected. On this unit, the helmet crest is a green dragon - next unit I'll probably do either a red or orange dragon! |
 |
| Not sure why I painted eyes on the king. I don't usually, except for the Admins figures I've been painting. They don't look bad on the figure - certainly better than on the photos! |
Anyway, that unit represents the last painting session of the year. The tree goes up soon covering my painting desk.
Other news, I sent a couple of 12" moulds to Pete Brown (the Mouldmaker) in Nottingham by 1st Class 24hr Tracked... hopefully so that he can cast the figures off them them and put some of them on 9" moulds so I can cast them. Current Tracking situation for this 24hr delivery service? See below!

A lovely unit full of colour and determination.

Thank you. A bit brighter than my usual schemes, but it does seem to work.
DeleteI do like these! (Bright bright colours and all).
ReplyDeleteThere is one of those standardbears with a broken shaft in my fix and paint pile, good thing he has a full helm so I won't have to paint him in white hair when I finally get to him!
They are nice but can be a bit fragile.
DeleteThankfully the last couple posted arrived intact, he is a classic figure!
DeleteI have repaired a couple, the first was photographed for the lost Wiki site. I put him together, thin pin vice and wire, and sent the photo with the standard rear. However I was sure that the standard should hang forwards, so re did him. Both look good.
DeleteThese are lovely figures Rob and just what I need for my Lion Rampant nostalgic force.If you cast some more please get in touch so that I can buy a unit.Well done,
ReplyDeleteThe figure on the rearing horse is a gem!
ReplyDeleteThe S&S Range are generally nice wargaming figures.
DeleteFantastic, I much prefer the older figure sculpting, have been buying for 50 years, so pretty mixed assortment of makers styles etc. But have to say, Old is the best for me.
ReplyDeleteSame with me. Much better!
DeleteThanks to Rob I am now approaching some useable wargames armies based on the Royal Armies of the Hyborian Age. The figures are a joy to paint with oooozing so much nostalgia, although my 70s paint jobs have been stripped.
DeleteGreat stuff and I shall shamelessly steal the Cockrill for the shield for one of the chaps currently on the panzer painting trolly.
ReplyDeleteWell, I did and so did Nando's, so...
DeleteThese look the business Rob…
ReplyDeleteI love the colour scheme.
All the best. Aly
Thank you. Yes, the scheme works well.
