    The return of the little blokes…..28mm Gripping beast Arab light cavalry

    Hi all
    After a hiatus working in various group builds, here are some more little blokes. Not my best, currently suffering RA shakes and loss of motor control. They are good enough for gaming though…..

    Usually I go for units in multiple of five, but there were twelve in the box so I did ‘em all….

    Quite a colourful crew. I was going to go with some freehand design stuff on the clothing for interest, but just don’t have the control at the moment. Good job there wasn’t a flag required They will pass muster as a light cavalry unit in my ongoing plod towards enough troops to play Oathmark though…..

    Last one, the usual calibration shot to give an idea of size…..

    The unit commander is an angry Tommy Cooper lookalike……

    Yet again great work Tim....your "not my best" is still streets ahead of my very best!

    And again 28mm sounds so much larger than 1/72.... Until your do the usual calibration shot!

    Again great work.

    Very well done.

      To my eyes they are absolutely brilliant. They are indeed a colourful bunch.

        Tim,
        If you can paint that well with the shakes there is no hope for me :smiling:

          Cheers Andrew. Horses aside these were actually quite simple figures. The hard bit was getting interest into the coats without freehand designs….

              There is always hope Scottie, it really isn’t that hard :tongue-out3: . The horses were actually done before the shakes started, and look crisper to me. The shakes generate frustration more than anything else. I had to do the shield designs with a rotring pen rather than paint as well.

                    Well, many thanks to the committee John, though I don’t think it’s deserved in this case…..

                              Your usual excellent results. If this is what having the shakes does then I am going to up my caffeine intake considerably :smiling:
