rockpopandchips Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) OK so not figures but used for the painting of, I could say these are my first proper paint brushes from a company just down the road from me called Rosemary & Co. https://www.rosemaryandco.com/index.php?route=common/home For just about £10 I get two SERIES 33. PURE KOLINSKY Pointed in size 0 and 2 And a SERIES 101. PURE RED Sable size 00. They came in a letter box size box with catalog full all sorts of geeky brush stuff and a small magazine full of real arty stuff. I have given the brushes a rinse and brushed some thinned paint onto some scrap plastic. They all feel very soft the 0 and 2 seam to hold a lot of paint that by some sort of magic get onto the plastic very easily. I cannot seem to tell the difference between the 0 and 2 when painting the letters on old runners and the 00 seams to do nice small dots. They are all very different to my GW and cheap art shop brushes and I'm sure I will be a brush painting God with these. 😱 Edited October 24, 2018 by rockpopandchips 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim_UK Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 @rockpopandchips That's a great little mini from Raining frogs garage. Supposedly of the Simon Bisley artwork. The first edition came with an axe and no cape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch K Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Gone a bit mad. I bought a single sprue of Warlord Games plastic English Civil War infantry, to reinforce my existing units, plus a very nice Warlord metal mounted commander, so I don't have to keep nicking an army general from the ranks of mt cavalry. I also succumbed to a box of Gripping Beast Dark Age Light Cavalry... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) I bought this little chap ( I call him race Rupert Rabbit) as a recast from China as I couldn't find out anything about it or were it's from, I would love to buy an original. This is how he looks after quite a bit of time cutting sanding heat bending to get it all to fit and there is still a bit to do. He is for a figure build over on scifiantasy.com.

Jim Wasley Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Down here there are some good buys on,A nice change to be able to buy in OZ,picked this set up with a great discount(Now who can resist a bargin)I do like the Middle Earth figures,but to buy and paint them all,I'm sure I will not have the time or the money.So this kit will do for a start,I do have the WargRiders coming,they almost cost me nothing with my reward points.The MordorTroll is cool,but I do not like the Witch King of Angmar on Fell Beast,will try and sell that one on.Cheers. Have some more kits to add to my list,we are on a long holiday weekend and the mail is all over the place some kits have arrived and some are still to come,will add as they do to this post,latest are and I am sure will please you Napoleonic fans,WarLord 28mm British household brigade Cavalry and late Hanoverian Infantry.
