Doctor Who - 25/28mm

 The other day I had reason to search my blog for some pictures of the good doctor. It would seem that they never made it onto the blog for whichever reason. I suspect I was using some other form of anti-social media and never posted them here. 

The first and second Doctors

IMO your favorite doctor is the one of your youth. Here I show my age, I remember rushing home after school to catch a glimce of their adventures on the CBC in the early to mid 1960s. William Harnell and Patrick Troughton were the doctors that left a lasting imprint on my young imagination. And who could forget the metal nazis repeating their letter E mantra.

I lost interest by the time of the fourth doctor, but followed the reboot staring Chris Eccleston to Matt Smith until once again my attention flagged. One of my favorite episodes with David Tennant, as the doctor in The Family of Blood. I liked the idea of an army of animated scarecrows. These minis below are TWDCSP10 Scary Scarecrows by the The Woodbine Design Company through the Gripping Beast website.

Work in Progress, WW2 Soviets

My collection of World War II Soviet skirmish figures continues to grow. This time I am experimenting with the Army Painter system. The figures were primed and then sprayed with Leather Brown. When I have finished painting the details I plan to wash half the figures with Minwax Wood Stain (English Oak)  and the other half with Liquitex Transparent Burnt Umber. I washed my 15mn Hussite Army by the 2nd method and I like the effect.



These figures are a mix of West Wind and Black Tree.
