The good ladies of "Neuva Tranquilidad" were shown as part of the the first challenge theme and here we have the men from the town. Armed with a variety of weapons to defend thier homes from any aggressive Gringo's.
28mm Wargames Foundry once more - funny what happens when you a get a more sensible pricing regime - they got more tempting. A fairly simple colour scheme which I have broken up with some variety on the poncho's. 18 figures in this group as one was completed pre-challenge as a test piece. This means I can start the remaining adobe buildings to complete the set after the challenge ends in preparation for a "Magnificent Several" game.
I set myself a hefty pre Xmas target as January is going to very lean (probably just bonus round entries) as I have to knuckle down and do some serious amount of exam revision, so pleased to have got a decent amount done and under the belt. Time for a move further out west next I think.
Merry Xmas to one and all the wonderful band of challengers!
Wow, superb work Dave! I like your use of bright colour on an otherwise fairly restrained palette. I quite look forward to seeing the town of Neuva Tranquilidad develop over the coming months.
This group of Tranquilidadians will give Dave 90 points. Great stuff Dave and a Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Great work!

I find it more difficult to do a muted palette and I know it takes a good bit of skill to pull it of. Wonderful jobe here Dave and have a Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAnne, the key is knowing when to stop. It helps with a large number of figures because the mass is the main effect, which you pick out with a few twiddly bits. Work on the premise you can go back and revisit them some time..
DeleteGreat work as always Dave
ReplyDeleteThats a rough looking bunch of hombres! Nice work mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers all, it's been a good week of painting.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! Merry Christmas Dave!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Makes me want to watch the Magnificent Seven again.
