Welcome to the pages of the Mad Scotsman. My aim, within this site, is to give the visitor, an idea of the painting quality I offer, when I accept a commission. I specialize mainly in 25/28mm scale, at the moment I am accepting commissions, although I have a few on the go, on the work table, at the moment. The turn-around for fig's is approximately 1 week, for a unit, [10/12 cavalry, 20/24 infantry.] This depends on the complexity of the unit being painted, plus any extra's, like flags. This site is still an ongoing project for myself, I intend to put up more photos in the forthcoming weeks, feel free to browse around, contact me for a quote, or just a chat, or leave your views in the guest book.
Apologies to everyone, started new job last year and doing weird shift patterns. Painting some Essex crusader come asiatics for my Timurid army, yes more bloody cavalry, when will I learn. pics of the unfinished figures on the, Whats New, section. Byzantines after I do a couple of units of Timurids, then more Timurids. Then, keeping my fingers crossed, Athurian Britons, hang on, more bloody cavalry as well, at least I get to paint some infantry with the Arthurians.
Well here it is, the Foundry Miniatures, Painting and Modelling guide, by Kevin Dallimore. If you are a Wargamer and you don't buy anything else this year, buy this book. I am, as it will save me calling up Kev every 2 minutes and asking him tips. This book is the definitive guide to painting wargames figures, from, in my opinion, the best wargames figure painter in this country. I have the book gentlemen, one of the first things I bought at Salute.
One tip I got from Kev, I was running out of tin foil for the flags, and he told me of a site www.expotools.com An exellent site, bought 2 rolls of 12x30 inch 5 thou, aluminium. Perfect for flags. Lots of other goodies in the site as well.
