He's based on a wooden shape, floored with scale lumber to represent a ship's decking. I painted him as an American Privateer during the Revolutionary War (and, yeah, he stole a Red Coat!).

Re: Ancientsociety's Show-off Thread
Had this Hasslefree mini in my bitz box for months now and just now got around to assembling and painting him. This is probably the nicest 28mm historical mini I've ever done, great detail.

Re: Ancientsociety's Show-off Thread
Well, here's a one-off project I just finished. I've been a huge fan of the Mouse Guard comics and, when I saw Reaper had produced its 'Mouslings', I just had to have some.
They were a joy to paint, lots of character and small enough that it didn't take very long. I mounted them on the taller Rackham bases so they'd stand out more.
Enjoy!

Re: Ancientsociety's Show-off Thread
Like the Sophie. Well done.
The mouslings are well painted, and I got a HUGE kick out of the barbarian. That thing's hilarious.
That said, until you've redeemed yourself for painting up all those widdle cutie-wutie mousey-wouseys, you might just want to remove the whole "curmudgeon" thing from your sig line! LOL

Re: Ancientsociety's Show-off Thread
Been awhile since I had a chance to update this thread! Well, I finally got around to finishing up the Forgeworld Eldar Void Phoenix I picked up secondhand last summer, unfortunately the previous owner's prime job wasn't the best and it started to pull away in certain areas when I laid the first coat of paint down! So, if you look closely you can see there's some peeling in the crevices. As such, I didn't go through as much of an effort as I had planned, as I know I'll eventually just have to strip it again and start from scratch.
Also, the completed Malifaux Collodi "stage":
Finally getting around to starting my Finns for Mid and Late-War. I'll be running a RajaJaakari Kompania (Border Jaegers) and I started with doing the objectives first.
Let me know what you think!

Also, got my T-34 Pansaaris done (more pics on my blog).

I like the purple on the Void Phoenix. Great selection and nice transition from front to rear.

Re: Ancientsociety's Random Blog (5/21 Repent Sinners!)
This is a mini I picked up at Adepticon, he's from Badger Games and is called "Slee'Zan with Rifle VIII". Personally, I think he could do double duty as both a Tarellian in Inquisimunda and an alien bad guy in Doctor Who!
