Sure, I know the wall came down and all but old habits are hard to break. Here are some nice miniatures that I turned into toy soldiers (huh?).
My friend Ike gave me a small grouping of miniature ACW soldiers from Russia.
I decided to make them into toy soldiers, which is as simple as...
taking the matte finished miniature and...
spraying it with glossy lacquer. Presto! a shiny bright toy soldier.
As with the soldier above all of the poses of this group of Russians are very pleasing.
Drummer boy
Charge bayonets guy
Shootin' guy
Rebel general
nice detail on the coat facings.
Altogether a very nice group of Confederates
But now its time to put them in the context if their comrades:
On the firing line...
rushing into action...
advancing to the front.
Thanks Ike, for the reinforcements.
Soldier on!

Nice figures. There is no doubt about it, soldiers look better shiny.
ReplyDeletevery good figures !! even in matt paint they look very nice !
ReplyDeleteI like them !
They are very smart. I've finally succumbed to to gloss, as when I started painting toy soldiers I was unsure. Now I love gloss! :)
