At the risk of inducing whiplash in my readers, I'm jumping back in time for Dark Age painting and then comes a large run of Old West!

British Airborne, 2nd drop
Up today is a British Airborne section. There's lots of character in these Artizan Design figs. They were a pleasure to paint from start to finish. They'll reinforce a Chain of Command commission I painted earlier this year.
I also finished a couple of drivers. In time, they'll be promoted from driving bottle caps to jeeps!
Since I was on a WW II painting kick, I pulled out my Chain of Command jump off markers and painted them up as well. The resins from TooFatLardies take paint quite nice. I don't have any WW II troops of my own so this is putting the cart, er, barrel, before the horse. I'll post these up for sale rather leave them in a drawer while I mull over my WW II painting options.

Excellent work, Monty!
ReplyDeleteI like the way the DPM turned out. Not as greenish as my paintsheme...
Cheers
Stefan
Thanks Stefan! It is a bit tricky and I'm glad I didn't have to paint up say 4 platoons worth of DPM.
DeleteVery nice foray into WW2, Monty. Lovely work on the camo, helmet covers and berets. Great looking bunch of Paras. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, second time in is always easier!
DeleteLovely stuff Monty!
ReplyDeleteDarrell.
Thanks Darrell, I appreciate it!
Deleteawesome.......really nice! :o) color tones are great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! I wonder what the modifier for a light chariot would be against airborne? ;-)
DeleteExcellent work as usual, love the barrels and the Paras...
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!
DeleteSuperb work Sir, not to mention topical.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, and good point. I wish I'd dropped a little historical color down with this post.
DeleteYour paras are fantastic! Your CoC Jump Off Markers look cool as well with especially nice shading and highlighting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, you are very kind! For battlefield color, I was quite happy with how they turned out.
DeleteJesus these are nice! Those faces are particularly well painted and those markers are super cool. I thought these were for commission as I remember the others.
ReplyDeleteWell, you just put a big smile on my face. And good memory! These fellows will leave my table and joint up a couple of platoons I painted already.
DeleteBeautiful work, and well photographed too :-)
ReplyDeleteRed, thanks! That means alot as I'm not always happy with my photography. I'd say I need to buy a new camera but a workman doesn't blame his tools, does he? ;-)
DeleteThose are quite stunning Monty, cracking work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran, I really appreciate it!
DeleteYou've really hit your straps with all those paras, Monty; excellent work! But be careful not to get camo fatigue...!
ReplyDeleteLove the objective markers as well, nice bit of set dressing there.
Lol, thanks Evan. They are a good bit of color!
DeleteAndrew, thanks! I'll send you a separate email for the company that makes these backgrounds. I made some from scratch with watercolor but this is a step better.
ReplyDeleteLooking great Monty!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that your hand must be back to normal!
Thanks Burkhard, it's a relief to be out of the bandages!
DeleteExellent paint work Monty !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael!
DeleteLovely work Monty! Yor take on the Denisons looks spot on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Moiterei! One day, splinter camo? Maybe not! ;-)
DeleteSuper work as always Monty!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thanks Christopher, I appreciate it!
DeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pru!
DeleteVery nice Monty – looking good!
ReplyDeleteJonas, I can't wait to see some of your DB Raiders. I've got some painting for that coming up next!
DeleteReally like the camo Monty, you've got it clear without it being cartoony.
