Posties Painted

I've started to ease into my month off. painted a radiator, fixed a light and failed to fix a door. However I have painted the Ebor Miniatures Belgians as postmen for VBCW. They were a joy to paint, nicely sculpted and moulded with very little flash and barely visible mould marks (only on the top of the hats). I've painted them to match the rest of my postmen in overcoats with Prussian Blue overcoats with red lining.

Colour a little washed out in photos.

The Hotchkiss MMGs with dog limbers are great. Basically I painted them black and then used Foundry metal to brush them all over (my Foundry metal paint has settled out somewhat and refused to mix back properly which actually works much better). I then painted the harnesses red leather. The dogs are Belgian Laekenois (I know absolutely nothing about dogs). Undecided on whether to buy the firing set to duplicate.

This is my total knowledge of Belgian Music, actually think this may be all of it.  Of the 21 most searched Belgian Music Stars on the internet I've never heard of any of them.

More Post Office Troops

Recieved a delivery yesterday from Ebor miniatures. I've been visiting their site for a couple of years but never bought anything. However my recent VBCW spurt pushed me over the edge. These are WW1 Belgians and will fit nicely with my Post Office workers in overcoats. The figs are very nice indeed.

2 Hotchkiss machine guns pulled by dog teams. I love the irony of Post men having dog teams. Little disappointed that the guns can't be set up in firing position but will investigate modifying or just buying the matching firing set.

Next up an infantry squad, Couple of broken bayonets but otherwise lovely.

I have the next 4 weeks off on holiday, really need a holiday. No major plans, except visiting friends and doing so DIY. Hopefully weather will be nice and I can spend time at the beach. Oh and chance to do some gaming and painting.
