From Seb:
What you have here are six 28mm British light infantry from AW miniatures.
You'll have to excuse the poor quality pictures, but my parents' PC refuses to acknowledge the existence of my camera's SD card, and of course I forgot to take the USB cable... When Andrew (Loki) and James launched their Bloggers for Charity project, I was immediately interested. They intend to game a battle during the Seven Years War in Canada. I have offered my services and Andrew sent me these figures to paint as a light detachment of the 44th Abercrombie. I was delighted since I knew i could then practice on my red and flesh techniques for 28mm.
Sadly, the minis are not great. There was no flash but you can find some errors in the sculpting, such as the cartridge box but no belt to carry it !?! And some cuffs and hands are miscast. Ah well. Still they were easy to paint.
I haven't based them because as soon as James receives them, he'll do it. So that's it. 6 more miniatures done from me.
Seb, the photo effects are actually kinda neat. These shots give the impression that the camera was last used to film Sophia Loren or Catherine Deneuve - a dab of vaseline on the lens does miracles. Seriously, very nice work here Seb - I quite like your flesh tones and that deep yellow facing colour is excellent as well.
These half dozen hearty fellows will give Seb 23 points. Well done and bravo for contributing to a good cause.
These look great, good work on that yellow!!
