Although the target number of figures of my games are far more modest than yours, I've usually had enough steam (read: interest) for them until hosting a game or two with them. Again, with far less figures to paint then your projects. I do like those Scruby's. They would indeed look nice painted "old school" - i.e. gloss finish?

I'm opretty comopulsive about meeting those kinds of deadlines!<br /><br />My original armies were all Sxcruby's; over 1,000 in the French napoleonic army. The detail is etched in at most - you really have to paint most of it on. Definitely best with white undercoat, block painting and gloss varnish. Shading and or staining is fairly pointless on these. They will still look quite presentable ion the tabletop!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-7958329408862541382014-06-07T13:54:08.475-07:002014-06-07T13:54:08.475-07:00I quite agree on your assessment on painting moral...I quite agree on your assessment on painting morale - I also have a few of these collections that never really stop growing. Even after reaching critical gaming mass. This is where the true heart blood lies. One will have many flirts, but certain periods you "marry". I really love the color and warrior mythos surrounding the Samurai, and you've done a wonderful job on these. Would be very cool to see pictures of your complete collection as it looks now!Black Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-49837860925891119542014-06-07T13:21:19.469-07:002014-06-07T13:21:19.469-07:00Interesting basing of your Samurai Cavalry Jonatha...Interesting basing of your Samurai Cavalry Jonathan..<br />wow... surprise about the Tajima Miniatures turf boxes shipping from the UK to WA! never heard about Historifigs before looking forward to your "after painting the 25mm Mexicans post"<br /><br />cheers,<br />Phil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369365598439913360noreply@blogger.com
