Citadel 25mm F2 Lords of Battle: Luigi

This fine knight is from around 1985/86. He has a pre-cast metal shield that fits on a cast circular knob on his arm. I think he's still looking pretty good.

Back against the wall

Full frontal

Here he comes!

Rear view

Here you can see his face. To give you an idea of scale, that's my finger he's resting on.

Ready for action

Citadel 25mm Runequest - Box 1: Human Adventurers: Chalana Arroy adventuress

This model is old, Pre-slotta base, it's in need of a touch-up. This was the figure I used for a character called Ergana Thyslong. I've found it to have a multitude of uses since though, thiefy-type, wizardy-type, clericy-type, fightery-type - it just works.

These were never meant to be viewed this close.

Whoa! Extreme close up!

Two-tone shield - It's a Pelta

Paint coming off :( Must re-touch this one.

28mm Giant Gorilla Centurion

This is one of the first miniatures I painted when I decided to re-try with my glasses. I had many difficulties coming to terms with the loss of focus and depth perception in my right eye, but I missed painting. I now have Goggles and plenty of light to allow me to paint again.

This chappie is from Black Orc Miniatures. I guess he just piqued my interest at the time. He stands about 45mm tall.

As you'd see him on the table.

Things to come

Here are three not-very panoramic shots of the painted collection, not including armies, laid out on a big table. Om nom nom nom - a taster.

25mm BMW Grav-taxi

A Crusher Joe model kit. Selected parts have been removed and it's been liveried as a Taxi. The windows were painted black, then highlighted with midnight blue in the corners, finally having reflections added in white.

Lovely orthogonal. It's the only way to be sure.

It's a four door

Fine styling and leatherette seats

Didn't work on the back end as much as I probably could.

Front View

A 3.5MW BMW-Rover powerplant sits under the bonnet.

Capacious bootspace.

25mm Dominatrix

Little Men? More like Little Women, or perhaps the 120 days of Sodom.
I don't know who made this miniature, I rather enjoyed painting it though :)
She's about 25mm tall.

Hand painted stockings

Big boobies

Over the shoulder, boulder holder.

Ready for the big time

25mm Citadel Elf Wardancer

This is one of the Elven Wardancers from the citadel range circa 1989. I tried an experiment with this one as I recall, because the chainmail has faded somewhat since it was done originally. He sits on one of the citadel 'Display Bases' - I think he may get rebased and have a new lick of paint - He's almost perfect to represent Jon's Two-sword Elf character.
