Not great painting or especially good pictures but some idea of the scale of these big boys...if that's your thing.
Me and Ray are on nights, I've found that fiddling and making 15mm models and vehicles and big hands don't work but super glue seals the cuts really quickly as it was really used for originally in Vietnam!
Brief commentary shortened...
Fecking hell...
Look at all this fecking flash...
Bloody mold lines.......
That hit the bone.......
I can't get my fingers apart........
I'm feeling faint........
Ray!, do you have any acetone....
Fecking hell........
Chilli cheese dip....mmmmmmmmmm!
How the feck do they expect me to get this in that hole...
I'm not a fecking engineer.....
Fecking hell......
For fecks sake I've dropped it on the floor...again!
Ray, stop fecking laughing...
I hate this fecking hobby......
That felt like a tendon.......
For the fecking love of Michael Flately....
That's fecking that I've had enough......
Fecking hobby......
I'll pick it out of the fecking wall later Ray!
15mm Peter Pig, The Scene and Khurasan Miniatures for scale....
So it seems fecking hell was used a lot, must have been a fecking grand time or not hahaha nice job though
ReplyDeleteNot bad for fecking hell.
ReplyDeleteThat last dude looks like Axterix!
ReplyDeletenot feckin' bad at all Fran!
ReplyDeleteFecking hell Fran!! Great post.
ReplyDeleteFor fucks sake Francis, some of your readers may die from the shock of all this cussing. But those would just be the gobshites amongst them.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know what you're complaining about because the SWMBO said "He's never had any problems getting into the hole before."
I've never had any complaints Anne.....
DeleteFecking great minis.......Feck!
ReplyDeleteSo a pretty straight forward project then? Don't you just love how fast you can move when you drop your scalpel between yer legs!
ReplyDeleteThen that second lightning movement when you realise you have missed yer baws and it is continuing downward onto yer toes!!!
Nice work on the figures.
Well they did come out pretty well, even if they caused you to question your very existence and nearly kill yourself with super glue.
ReplyDeleteI know how hard it is to paint things that small! Well done, and you are well within your rights (under the circumstances) to drop a few interesting words!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, General You've a fine set of soldiers there for your service. Axterix is a joy to behold!
ReplyDeleteThis wad he toned down version of events, I feel violated with all the bad language.
ReplyDeleteIt was late I was tired to that was supposed to read,
DeleteThis was a toned down version of events.......
I'm sure it was worth it and you'll do it again. LOLOLO
ReplyDeleteActually it's possible innit.
Grand work, better than those 20mm pensioner scale models.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on those. If you're not cussin, you're not creatin.
ReplyDeleteNice result though! Think of a bit like child birth. :o)
ReplyDeleteFeck that for a game of soldiers! Great stuff Fran ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey look great to me Fran and I'm sure I used a commentary similar on a few occaisions myself
ReplyDeleteLooks straight forward to me, what was all the fuss about?
ReplyDeleteIan
great work fran. you experience with 15mm makes me glad that I game with 20mm
ReplyDeleteGreat work as usual mate! 'Medical' Super Glue is still used worldwide, but it's slightly different in formula to what we get in the shops. It's good stuff until you mistake it for lip balm, hemorrhoid cream or use it to stick false eyelashes on (all true btw!)... all of which are described as "inadvertent self-administration of superglue" on triage notes.
ReplyDeleteGreat minis and the commentary sounds a bit just like me when putting models together!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, despite all the stress :D
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Fran and my sympathies on the cuts and glue!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Despite the many (normal) problems you faced the result looks great.
ReplyDeleteLMAO, They look great sir! Did the chilli dip not sting those cuts?
ReplyDeleteEven after those f..... commentaries, those minis still look good to me.
ReplyDeleteI now have tears streaming down my face! I feel your pain, but the results look spot on Fran.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant post, Fran. It had me laoughing out loud. I totally agree that the last photo is of Asterix.
ReplyDeleteGood work, never mind the feck!
ReplyDeleteYou invoked Michael fecking Flately, now the end will end is a great fecking line reel, oh God, oh God.
ReplyDeleteThey are great painted figures you have there Fran and I swear one of them is Sean Bean.
It was well worth your trouble those came out great
ReplyDeleteA very nice group of models, Fran. Looking at them, I am thinking about those African Militia from "Musketeer Miniatures"...
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
What Jim Hale said. Regular super-glue is ok in a pinch, but it's not quite the same formula as medical super-glue and is probably bit more toxic.
ReplyDeleteNice figs.
Sorry to hear they were so much trouble. They came out well. I am very paranoid about slicing myself open while cleaning mold lines. Thus far (knock on wood) I've done okay.
ReplyDeletethis is what you guys do at work? lol that is awesome
ReplyDeleteThey look good Fran, I'm sure they are worth every cut and abrasion. Let me get some lemon for you. I hear that works wonders on open wounds.
ReplyDelete...with a little salt maybe?
Deleteyou Irish people really do love the F word :)
ReplyDeleteWas you a bit knacker by some chance LOL
ReplyDeleteWas you a bit knackered by some chance ? LOL
ReplyDeleteThe last guy reminds me of Hulk Hogan.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same...
DeleteSalt and some smoke from a cigarette Fran (before it's smoked....).
ReplyDeleteNice work mate!
Salt and some smoke (from a cigarette before it being smoked eh..?)
ReplyDeleteNice work Fran!
LOL, fecking nice job on these Fran! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of fecking. ;)
ReplyDeleteFecking good.
