RAInf with LSW - 40mm

Australian Army Infantry Soldier from the East Timor UNTAET campaign armed with F89 Minimi LSW.

This is a photo of one of the models I painted a few years ago. The model is an OzMade miniature in 40mm. The model itself is not bad quality considering the size of the OzMade environment.

Paints were all Citadel from teh time, and you can see clearly my heavy use of drybrusing and inking.



Why now?

I bought a new camera, and it has a funky telephoto detail auto setting which makes miniature happy snaps really easy...and this is the first miniature that I could find [without digging through boxes in the shed]

Looking at the mini up close is not so good now, because I can see where I could have done a much better job. Hallen's faithful will remember this one sitting in the display cabinet for quite some time.

SodaPop Miniatures

The gauntlet has been verily thrown down...

Prompted by the enthusiasm of my good friend over at OzMecha, I have acquired some of the Relic Knights range of miniatures from SodaPop Miniatures. Once I have the lovely little pieces of pewter in my hands I will be able to paint them up and show you all some pickies...

The eventual aim? Once and for all I will prove that OzMecha is a much better painter than I am...But have a damn fun time in the process. At the very least give OzMecha an example to say 'This is how you DON'T paint the SodaPop Miniatures'

Stay tuned.
