Plume castings

My painting output has slowed somewhat over recent weeks, so no new figures to show just yet. This is due to holidays and I've started too many things and lost my way somewhat. So I either need to focus and finish off a unit, or even have a break and paint something else ( I have a steadily growing pile of AWI stuff which I'd like to restart sometime this year).



In the meantime, I have received the production castings of the plumes - done for me by Oliver at Steel Fist Miniatures. I have created two sprues of the same plumes, one with orb-shaped holders and one without. These are not cleaned up, but just washed with ink to show the details. They should be easy to add to helms and chamfrons, by drilling a small hole to glue in the locating pin.

Time to start enhancing a few Burgundian figures with some feathers....

  1. These look fantastic, they will be great for turning the plastic landsknechts into Swiss!

  2. Simon, I think taking a break with some AWI is an excellent idea!
