Testing Times… Tintin and STS…

Greetings…

I’m posting this for two reasons…

One… To show you the test paint jobs I have done for my planned Tintin project and a little reworking on some STS figures.

Two… To see if Blogger will let me 🤔🙄.

These represent Syldavians…

I’ve gone for a rather Soviet look… With nice simple bases.

These are some of my Shiny Toy Soldiers Schleswig- Holstein figures…

As I was putting them out on the shelves I realised that this collection is all over the place… Mixed basing style and sizes, some quite yellowish varnish and more figures than I really need/want for a game

So I thought I would try a quick bit of tidying up on these as well…subtle shading with a bit of lining out…

Similar to what Greenwood and Ball used to do back in the day…

I’m in no mad rush to do more with the STS stuff at the moment…The butterfly is heading for Tintin 😁

All the best    Aly

Shiny Schleswig-Holstein...

Shiny Schleswig-Holstein...
(Try saying that after a few gins)...


Dan Faulconbridge from Wargames Illustrated asked me if I could take a few pictures of my Shiny Toy Soldier Schleswig Holstein collection for an article in this months issue...


As the magazine has now been published I thought that I would post the full set of pictures that I took...


I know its not to everyone's taste but this is one of my favourite collections... and one of my favourite periods.

I have been (very) slowly rebasing and reorganising this collection and hopefully sometime near the end of the year I will have a game or two...
They are of course all made by yours truly and are available from...
