15mm Painted Khurasan Miniatures Redneck Welcoming Committee......

.......Wikipedia has an explanation for the term redneck in the US but in the Ireland a redneck was somebody who lived outside of Dublin whose Dad slapped them on the back of the neck and told them to go to Dublin and get a job!

These six figures are from Khurasan Miniatures Planet 15 range (there should be 7 but at the time I couldn't remember where I put the seventh but as I type this I remember where I put it!)

Not the greatest of sculpts but full of character all the same, they will have a second set out soon I believe....





It's a bright, way too early Sunday morning here at work and Ray is a sandwich short of a picnic....it's how I feel

    I didn't know Ireland had it's own rednecks. I think I prefer their background to US ones. Though these guys are clearly US ones, and sure don't look very welcoming.

    These look like they come from that little sleepy town of Culverston Right near Gravesend! Only the Females here are slimmer!

    Very nice models, Fran, full of character.
    I have been looking at the Khurasan Cataloge, my son is getting interested in the wargaming, and there are some interesting SF models...

    Excellent stuff, Fran. You just need a couple broken down appliances in the weeds, a few sleeping hounds and its home-sweet-home! Yee Haw!!

    They look great, but if the banjos break out, that's when one really has to run.
