Matchbox "British 8th Army" - Field Marshal Monty

     Hi there! Continuing with  the figures I've painted in the past  I would like to show you a Beautiful Historical miniature from Matchbox's 1:32 "British 8th Army" set. It is the figure of General "Monty", or else, "Spartan General" ,or officially ,Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery.

     For the History.....he was the commander of the British and Allied forces ,"8th Army", during the battle of El Alamein ,the battle that critically changes the course of WW2.You can see below some original pictures that inspired me for the colours I used for that figure.

            

     I painted this figure at March 2013 and unfortunately it has some small scratches on the face, and the noose was a little bit damaged. Although I painted and tried to cover up the damage.. Since I don't have that figure anymore I hope that I will paint another one in the future and this time it will be in a small diorama that I have in mind....For now, here are two pictures of "my" Monty.....

Thank you for visiting my blog!!

My First Elves

      Finally , I manage to find some time to take a few pictures and made another small post.These figures are

painted in  2013  and they are my first  High Elves  from Lord of the Rings. I started to paint them in order  

to experiment with gold armour ,something that I haven't try before at that time. It is only three archers and two swordsmen.They come to me partially and messy painted  so they where the perfect subject to experiment....

    Although I made these figures to test the armour parts I finally loved the clothes and capes!!!

      I've just realised now that I had done very poor job for the bases and I will do something about that....

For now, you can enjoy some pictures.......

 

 

I hope that you like the painting and this post was at help or inspiration to someone.....
