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!

I like it. Two blokes pointing in totally opposite directions and the chap in the middle pondering his choices.
Ahhh - the loneliness of command!
[edit]
Just read your blog and I see this was the intended 'story'...

You may call it sarcasm........I, on the other hand, prefer to refer to it as a humorous observation!!!

Nice job..!!!
GERRY - In answer to your 'whos who'....
...obviously it's me and Toggy 'pointing' in opposite direction (does'nt really matter which ones we are, we're are often like that...)
... and poor old Barry thinking hard about which of his 2 mates has really lost the plot...!!*&$!
It seems so obvious now, does'nt it Gerry.
Cheers

Very nice Dave, as Ray said the cannonball trails are a nice touch.
Looking forward to seeing them in the flesh next weekend

lovely ideas and execution here Dave. The King's vignette is very clever and is a great use of the raw materials to tell a story.
Love the dragoons too!

Thanks for all the comments guys, the figures are such a joy to paint that I think they bring out the best in your style.
I'm going to have to leave them for a bit as I've got a load of Macedonians to get finished for another Hail Ceasar game that I'm organising for thursday. I've only got a few more left to paint so I'm going to have to arrange to pick a load up from you at Claymore Barry.
Cheers
Dave

Churchill said
My interpretation as to what's being said is...From the Irish Officer to King James, "Sire your army retreats to Dublin, you must ride there and rally them to lift their spirits".
The French Comte de Lauzun interrupt's by saying "Monsieur, we must ride hard to Waterford, where a frigate awaits to take you to the safety of France.
And James II is thinking "If only John Churchill was with me".

Don't get Barry started again
I thought David Starky's first programme on the Churchills was very interesting except for his fauning over Marlborough.

Yeah, exact as your ancestor
„Macht Euch Euren Dregg alleene“
"Sort your filth out by yourself!" The King of Saxony Friedrich August III., at his abdication 1918, referred to the quarrels in the parliament and the squabbling within the provisional government.
