'Fellowship' from StephenS: Guards! Guards!

It would not be a challenge if I did not add to my growing collection of figures based on characters from the Discworld novels, written by the late Terry Pratchett. A favourite of mine has always been his 'Guards! Guards!', a tale of four nightwatchmen regarded as a bunch of incompetents that accomplish nothing (a fairly accurate statement) who come together to take on a dragon. Despised and ridiculed by all, the fellowship they show in the face of increasing dangers in this and further novels, makes for very amusing reading.



From L to R: Corporal Nobbs, New recruit Carrot, Captain Vimes and Sergeant Colon


The miniatures are from Micro Art Studio, and are quite large for 28mm scale. A pleasure to paint. They are not quite finished, I will need to go back and add some more highlights, but the sand in the timer has alas run out. The bases are also from Micro Art Studio.




Cheers,

Steve
