Finally got around to take some pictures

Hello everyone.  I've been busy painting away in my limited spare time and finally painted the bases on a lot of figures.  I finished some WW2 figures and some fantasy figures for Black Tree Design.  I still get all jazzed about painting figures for someone else.  I also finished a 20 man unit of Zanzibar slavers for come colonial action.  I also received the balance of my Christmas present for Wargames Foundry.  I have enough figures for another 20 man unit of Zanzibar slavers, 10 Baluchi swordsmen, and some command figures.  A 20 man unit of explorer Askari, some porters, a 20 man unit of British Askari, enough Sikhs to bump my current unit up to 20 men, plus some officers.  This on top of the previous order from Black Tree and some plastic dark age/medieval/frostgrave sprues has bumped my lead and plastic mountain way into the stratosphere.  Anyway, onto the pictures.

These are a combination of Perry Sudanese, Wargames Factory Persians and Numidians, with Perry Zouave arms and heads.  I know that the slavers around this time had varying skin tones from very dark African black to "Arab", but I wanted to practice painting some Arab like skin tones.  So this particular group of slavers have recently arrived in the area and have not been "in country".

Next are some WW2 Germans and Soviets.

These guys were fun to paint.  I always told myself that if I was to ever paint WW2 Germans then I was going to buy some Vallejo paints.  I have to say, I really like those paints.  All of these figures are from Black Tree Design.

Back to the painting table for me.  I'm prepping some of those Wargames Foundry figures.
Thanks for looking.  Any C&C is welcome.

Colonial Painting Expedition

This is my entry for the Colonial Painting Expedition over on the Colonial Adventures board at Lead Adventures Forum.  There are some very nice figures over there.  This is the first figure I've taken a photo of with my new display board and backdrop.  I think it turned out ok, might need to tweek some things a bit.

I was finally able to get some photos of my Colonial Germans.  They are for my fictional Africa setting taking place sometime in the 1890's.  I picked the troops from what I liked from all of Germany's African colonies and put them all into my own.  They have had border skirmishes with British troops to the North, the French to the South-East, CSA renegades to the South, and the Sudanese basically everywhere.  They are based individually on washers in groups of 20 for The Sword and the Flame.  My Germans are mostly Old Glory, Brigade Games, some Foundry, and West Wind.  While most of my colonial troops are historically based, I can't help but add a few elements of VSF.  Well, enough talking and on to the pictures.
