28mm madness!

28mm madness 


Every now and again I see something and think I`d like to give that a go. 
Now I don`t have the skills or control for the detailed painting required for 28mm, but this what I`ve done this week -

Laurel & Hardy in 1890s era Legion uniform
By Black Hat Miniatures 




Some yrs back The Guild forum has a figure sculpted to celebrate the forum, here is my version of "Gilda"




This next figure is "Poppy" by Statuesque Miniatures
 I`ve tried to paint her as the Asian assassin - Mai Lei



Finally a female wasteland ganger by Bad Roll Games, I`ve called her "Tasha"

Adobe huts

Adobe huts

By S&S Models
A simple two-tone paint job plus a wash, Shaun sells these both with and without the pantiled roof, so usable both as native hovels for Africa and Mexico (and other parts of the world too) plus colonial areas - South America and the Far East

A couple of bits for my NWE Yanks

Dodge 4x4
This is the old Esci model, which I got via a swap with that nice Alan Hamilton  :)  Needed some repairs, and I happened to have the parts for the Tarpaulin rear cover in my bits box, so built and added this also  :)  a quick paint job and that will do  :)
