Wargaming was my first hobby and I've returned to it with renewed passion lately. Apart from the joy of collecting and painting armies, the social aspect has been a real boon as I've recently taken voluntary redundancy and I am between jobs.
Anyway - I've admired Phoenix 43 O gauge figures for a long time but haven't really had a reason to buy any more. As I've been painting lots of toy soldiers, it occurred to me that maybe I ought to buy some, just for the fun of painting them - try using the techniques I have been using on my 28mm (about 1:54 to 1:64 scale) wargames figures.
I'm really pleased with how these have turned out. It's not a style that is everyone's cup of tea, so I'm putting them up for sale on ebay, to see if anyone likes them :-)
I'm kind of tempted to start another blog, wargames related, as I don't think posting pictures of WW2 Russians and Napoleonic Prussians on 'mogtrains' makes a lot of sense.

Very nice Martin, the black base works very well on the Phoenix (and similar figures with well defined detail. Part of me wishes I'd followed this approach for 'Shifting Sands' but in a way I'm glad I didn't as the Prieser figures don't really take to this style. For another project I'll certainly take this route, as I did with the two figures I completed for 1/24th scale.
