More Painted Figures




 Assorted officers in Her Majesty's army. Although I love the scarlet uniform, I will be repainting these in khaki. 

 Canadian sniper circa 1916 converted from an AIP First World War Highlander.

Foreign Legion and Confederate officers painted as Spanish.


Confederate officer painted as, well, a Confederate officer.

Boer officer with Brickarms C96. Lego scale handguns make lovely conversions to 54mm. Expect to see more in the future..


Egyptian officer painted as a turn of the century Ottoman.





Ottoman cavalry. I will be touching up horses and repainting the riders in either black uniforms or a dark blue.





British Cavalry. These horses need touching up too. Travel is hard on paint jobs.

A Few Older Painted Figures

     I painted these awhile back. There are some mistakes and spots I missed but I'll fix them when ever my To Paint box is empty, which may be awhile as I take a look at it now. Some of these are pretty cruddy even for my work but on the game table it doesn't matter much to me. All are Aip figures. They have a neat dollar bag deal where you get a number of random figures for a dollar. You have to buy in increments of 10 but its a good deal. Most of these came from dollar bags.




Three French and Indian War figures. Uncas, Chingachgook, and Natty Bumppo maybe? The scalp locks are accurate to James Fenimore Cooper's classic tales.




Zulus ready for battle. The battleaxe armed warrior reminds me of H. R. Haggard's King Twala. I don't know how accurate the leopard skin is but I think they look nice.









  Shirt sleeve British infantry from 1880's but I may use them for the Second Boer War. I missed part of the rifle on the kneeling with bayonet at the ready figure.




Shirt sleeve British artillery crew from a 7 pound gun. A Gatling crew is waiting to be painted.




 Spanish officer and sharpshooter from the Spanish American War



 Colonel Teddy Roosevelt and 1st Volunteer Cavalry standard bearer that is waiting for lettering.




 Wounded trooper and bugler from the 1st Volunteer Cavalry.




Remington Guides from the Second Boer War. These are actually Aip Boers painted khaki with the distinctive leopard skin hatbands, fitting since many Guides were "handsuppers".




A soldier and officer of the Highland Light Infantry and an officer of the Remington guides. Please excuse the bad plaid.




Generic khaki clad British officer.




German officer from the First World War. The full stock Luger with drum magazine is one mean looking pistol.




Russian troops painted a generic navy blue. I've used these for American sailors, Mexican Federalies, and many other rare roles.
