And another Romain soldier

Sorry but this month a Solder again...

I need a lot of these guys for my diorama,

and I wish I can find more to paint...

If I am right this guy is from the legion of Cleopatra.

But I painted him in the Romain colors

of the solders like in the comic books.

I guess putting him between the real Romains,

he would fit in the scene perfect!

Personal I like these solders a lot

They paint well, and the green and silver do there job.

A finishing touch with white and black line does it.

Looking at the guy unpainted,

I am always glad with the result.

This is also a plastic figure from the bubblegum serie of the 70ths.

Like you find more of them here on my blog...

Hope you like him!

Innkeeper

This month a must have figure...

From Bruegelburg miniatures a 28mm figure

 It is a metal figure from a set of 2

the other figure is a waitress

I tried to use colors this guy would wear

some years ago.....

He looks like a nice old innkeeper

thats why I had to buy this guy...

Who wants another beer?

 Cheers!!!

Romain boy

This month again a figure from the 70ths bubble gum series.

I don´t know what figure from the Asterix comic books this is,

but I made him a solder on his day off

It is a simple figure, so easy to paint...

But every time when these figures are painted,

they look so much fun with color!

So again a figure ready for my Asterix project.

Amelia Earhart Christmas version

Today I write this post on X-mas day

to wish all my readers a happy christmas!

And as you can see I painted Amelia Earhart for this occasion.

This is a 28 mm figure from Belt Fed Gaming

Got it on Crisis 2015 from my good friend Peter.

We wanted to do a duel on Bennos figures forum with her!

A metal figure and really fun to paint!

But because it was a december duel I thought to do her different..

No flight jacket brown, but Santa red and white...

The fun part was, Peter had exactly the same idea, hahahaha

Unfortunately I lost the duel even with her glossy scarf 

what is in the picture not reflected right..

Hope you like this figure, I sure do!!!

Jean-Baptiste De Coster

This month another figure:

Jean-Baptiste De Coster

As you can see, the special figure of Crisis Antwerp 2015!!!

The exhibition I went to like every year!

Each visitor gets such a great figure.

It is a metal figure, here a picture from the master:

I did some research what colors to use, 

but there is not much info

about this man on the internet.

So I took the colors like the cloths they had in those years.

Not very colorful, I know...

Jean Baptist De Coster,  a farmer and innkeeper.

When Napoleon used his inn "La Belle Alliance"

he was forced to be the personal guide of Napoleon.

Afraid of the shots, he was was strapped to a horse.

Some say the French lost because of his bad french.

But after the war, he became a rich man.

As a guide over the battlefield, he ask a lot of money.

In twelve years it was around 300.000 francs!

Romain soldier

For my future diorama I need a whole bunch of Roman soldiers,

I have decided to paint them all a bit different.

As you can see I did on this one the leather parts under his amor,

also with metallic paint, just because it looks nice.

These Romans are so nice to paint, I hope to find more...

(I need more, so if you got one somewhere.....)

And again a monthly post,

let's hope your'e not sick

of all the Asterix figures

from the bubblegum range!

Decanus

And another Romain officer comes a life...

This guy has the nice task to sent the legionairs to the Gauls...

And it looks he doesn't know who is is up against...

He looks so happy, maybe he is just promoted?

Another nice figure, what was a joy to paint.

The details look perfect with some colors on it...

I did use the colors like in the Asterix albums, with a little bit of my own fantasy.

But he looks much nicer than the yellow figure he was before:

And yes, he is also from the Asterix bubblegum range from the '70.

Sorry, but I just love them...

So more will follow!

Cleopatra's Taster

From the Asterix comic album "Asterix and Cleopatra":

this month the food taster himself!

He isn't what I got in mind, the paintjob is not to my satisfaction.

And I am not sure about his tongue as well.

But he will look good between the others in my future project!

Anyhow he looks quite like on the original from the comic book:

This guy was green before I painted him,

and yes also from the bubble gum Asterix range from the 70ths
