Blood and Plunder - Dugthefug1644
Sculpted hands - First attempt.
I have given my huge handed Spanish militia man a name.
He is Jorge (Horhey) El Puño.
To his English enemies he is known as George The Fist. ?
Happy with the final look. Carved the planks into a 20mm plastic base again. Milicianos are pretty squishy at times in game, so no point going for Golden Demon effort on a guy that barely graces the battlefield. Had fun with this guy.
Contrast Colour flesh tearers red on the cuffs etc. and Contrast Colour Wyldwood on some of the straps, hair and matchlock. I am finding uses for these paints. They are nice to use, but not sure they are replacing the way I used to paint. More of a compliment to my washes and some paints in paint box than the revolution they were meant to be.

WiPLost the hands and gun for this mini. Warlord Games plastic ECW minis again. I have some metal matchlock muskets from Essex Miniatures. I could have found a spare set of arms on a sprue I am sure, but chose to have a stab at green stuff sculpting hands. They are heroic scale for sure and not sure whether I should paint them as gloved hands instead to make them more believable. Not worth the time I spent and might have been better cutting hands from other sprues if I wanted to use the metal musket like this.
