I just painted up these fellows that just arrived yesterday and as it’s a fine day 26degree Celsius I thought I would get in some posting practice before I take TA back to Sth Australia, she has to go back and finish the house. We would have struggled without her and as the furniture arrives tomorrow and I’ll be back to arranging things so expect another hiatus in my posts!!
I’m trying out some new backgrounds so bear with, me they may be crap photos but I’m sure you will get the drift of what the figures look like; I don’t need a light box up here!
These figures are from Caesar and are the Egyptian Sherden the Royal guard, but I’ll just bung them in with the rest of the mob.
I have to say listening to IRO’s podcasts as I paint really makes the time go bye, thanks mate I’m only up to number thirteen so I have plenty up my sleeve! keep up the good work.

Very nice Pat, the outside shots are looking great, I really must do that more often myself. I do like those shields. Good luck getting your furniture and getting even more settled. Have a safe trip with TA and say hi to her from me. 🙂

Nice Egyptians there! 🙂 I think I’m more impressed that the four-legged family members get their own beds and appear to be be really chilled out!

You’re a machine, Pat! Nothing beats natural light if the weather is cooperating. Good to see your friends have found comfy spots too!

Yeah mate no excuses apart from the wife wanting this and that done to make things all cosy ! It’s a shame I have to go to the shed to get some picture hooks only to return an hour later ! Sorry got distracted setting up the modelling site! 😉😅😅😅

Really nice shields and I’m liking the outside shots. Please send your heat up here, I still have snow to melt and the pond is still iced over!

Nice work on the models and their shields – as others have noted, that natural light really works very nicely with those figures in particular!
