While 15's still make up a large proportion of output, 28's are taking a larger share of the projects. You may find a similar experience.<br /><br />Very nice detail on the bladed weapons. Both handles and blades are quite convincing. Nice touch!

I have painted my fair share of 15mm but I cant handel them at all at the moment, even turned down a couple of comissions of 15mm, may be some day...<br /><br />Now you better get back and painting more Vikings so far only 3 points have been presented;)<br /><br />Best regards MichaelDalaupprorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292614404943521842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-44348172615173219692013-02-08T15:05:07.417-06:002013-02-08T15:05:07.417-06:00Thanks kindly, Michael, and thanks for following! ...Thanks kindly, Michael, and thanks for following! <br /><br />I'm usually in Ancients but if the Dark Ages will have me, I plan to stick around long enough to paint up a number of armies. Vikings, Normans and I must paint the Irish since I love all things Irish. And if we have to blame anyone, I blame Michael and Burkhard for all of their Saga posts last year!

You do all 3 so well! <br /><br />During my son's High School choir performance this week, they performed "The Rising of the Moon." Such a moving and beautiful piece!
