Pillars of the earth by Ken Follett






Eleina
A few years ago I read the nook, Pillars of the Earth, written by Ken Follett, a writer I associated with thrillers, and spy stories, not an Epic tale spanning the construction of a Cathedral.
Needless to say I loved the book and have read it a few times both in English and in Swedish. To my big satisfaction I recently discoverer that they have made a miniseries of the book.

Got hold of it a few days ago and pretty fast I screened all 8h of it, and it's a hit in my humble opinion. I loved it and i captured a the book in a relay great way,  without changing the storyline or adding bits and pieces to fit the screenplay.

See it and you can even read the book afterwards and enjoy it.

Bases have static grass, lichten, a few rocks and so on. They are protected by a coat of dull varnish. They will be very well packed to protect them in transit. 


The faces are painted dark flesh and then washed with Ogryn flesh. After that a highligt with lighter flesh and a dash of red for the lower lip. Uniforms are Vallejos german field uniform with a wash of devlan mud. Then another coat of german field uniform with a bit of iraqi sand to lighten it. Gives a good effect of shading.

The figures are painted in a slightly impressionistic way. That means they look good from ordinary viewing distance, maybe 1 foot away, not from 1 inch viewing distance away.

In honour of them in service.

Got hold of some realy fine linnen sheets from the Kings own stock, its made or at least taken in to service before the Great War (WWI), and has probably been washed over 1000 times, they made stuff to last back then.
I realised that what would be better to make banners out of the a piece of linen sheet with a piece of history, some thing to honour the men and women in service all over the world fighting for peace today.

Well that sounded deep right.

Laughing Monk, Kumi

In my quest to find the inspiration to get back to painting again I got the tips to go back and do some thing else for a while.

I went in to my hordes of unpainted minies and models, and this is what I found,



Is it worth a try ? 
And what If my Wife founds out.
