Thanks Ian!
Thanks Rodger,
Very much appreciated!
Thanks Gavin, glad you like them. I'm guessing I can check your blog through your icon there?
Cheers Fran, they've been fun but I want to see them finished soon.
Cheers Phil, a wee way to go still!
Lovely work as always Paul.
Very impressed with the amount of detail on the faces at this scale, do you use any extra magnification to help with this?
Thanks Jacksarge, up until May June I didn't use any magnification however I noticed a slight change in my eyes when painting piping on the collars so a friend put me onto the clas ohlson lamp magnifier. It's weird as for these guys some days I can paint the eyes no bother and then the next day I use it for the lutzen. It's a handy bit of kit but can give you a little to much detail at times.
Coming along beautifully, Paul!
Speaking of eyes, have you painted their eyes?! That's insanely impressive.
I admire your willpower as well as the painting skill. Word of warning though: you only get one pair of eyes - use the lamp!
This is pure amazing what you can do.
Splendid work!
Sho
Thanks Sho, you sound Glaswegian with your pure amazing 😜
They are not that amazing tho Sho very subtle shades. You've done a nice range with the. Well done!
Cheers Gary, I use a regular lamp for painting usually. The magnifier was a tip from a friend. My brother got it and it has helped him greatly
Thanks Peter, they are a lovely unit to paint and a nice set of figures.
Thanks Ru, yeah I painted them as a response to a buddy who continually ribs me on doing to much detail. I don't usually put eyes in as they don't need them. Easier than you think though.
These are bloody beautiful Paul. Sho has been teasing for years with his work and now to see you painting them up is a real treat! Look sensational mate.
Thanks Carlo,
I know they are just 15/18mm but they are really nice little figures.
Superb work as always Paul. Those blonde Cossacks look very good indeed.

Thanks Ben, just adding a little hair variation so they don't all look the same.
