They give me a run for their money, I can tell you.
So here it is, Two Princesses' Own Regiment:
Note the careful mix of colours to denote rank and favour.
Toy Soldier style lilac dry brush over khaki base.
Nice full coverage with subtle orange highlights.
A vacuum cleaner guy who wasn't afraid to get dirty.
Custom custard doughnut hurler.
It was a good days work. Once they've finished these off I might get them to start on my eastern phalangites. I reckon the colours would work a treat.
Finally, here they are after inspecting the troops on parade:
What fun! I think you are right about the phalangite colours. :-)

I had my children (when 3 and 5) have a go with a few 20mm metal Russians I had but did not really need. They became all green, and as I had some flock out to do some bases, they flocked them all over and so they looked like swamp monsters! But they had a good time.
ReplyDeleteNow you have all the minis you need to play out an assault on a Play-doh factory!
ReplyDeleteThanks, gents! It's great to get the kids involved, and the swamp monster, play-doh heroes and loud shirts are all part of the fun :)
