OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

This is a unit I completed as part of a commission. Front Rank figures, for 1680s & 90s.
The pics aren't the best so I'll be taking some more and posting up the artillery and some flags I painted too.

Hi Paul,
Those are great looking Miniatures that you have done here! Very Good!
Some of us seem to like fighting on the proverbial 'english lawn'
Cheers,

Hello Paul,
Beautifully painted unit! I love the less uniformed look of your regiment , I received the same Front Rank figures last week. Those are perfect for a militia or a unit on campaign. Good job
Cheers!

That's a nice looking unit Paul, it's been a while since we've seen something from you, although I'm not much better
Cheers

Thanks gentlemen, your comments are much appreciated.
I do have more things painted, just needing to be photographed. I have a couple of flags to finish (nearly done) then I can post up some more pics.

I am the lucky man who commissioned this unit plus the 2 Guns of position which Paul has put photo's on elsewhere.
This is painted as Churchill's Rgt on campaign using Front Rank's early period figures. What Paul has not shown is the wagons on the 2nd bases that go with the guns, and put together they make an eye catching centre piece for the table.
I love these figures and Paul's style of painting. The facial detail he gets in is amazing. I will get some more pictures done as soon as possible.
If anyone is in need of having figures painted to the highest standard I would suggest you get in touch with Paul.
Mike

I don't quite know what to say, other than thank you! I'm bowled over by that praise. You're a thorough gent Mike.
Yes, I do take commissions.

I look forward to seeing some more pictures. These look exceedingly characterful. Well done.

Thanks Andy, I did get some more photos of this unit, a little better, but still not great. Photography isn't a strong point with me yet!
