And then there were none! Handgunner unit complete!!


Yea!  Here's the mini that I (and Jon) have been waiting for!  The last of the Handgunner unit.


I did a teeny bit of orange reflected light on the figures right next to the powder monkey.  Not anything crazy, since I have to allow for varied formations.



I tried to take as many shots of the whole unit from as many angles as possible.


I hope you folks have enjoyed the process of making this unit a reality!!!



Plenty more to come!!!


I was able to snap a picture of the hawk that lives on our block.  Yes, that is a hawk up near the top of that tree, about 8 houses down from us.    I wish every neighborhood had one... it could cut down on the tree and sky rats.

  1. Awesome work! The blue and red just work so well together.

    Unrelated question: what do you do to prime your miniatures?

    1. Thanks! As you saw in all the previous posts, all of these were primed white.

      What color primer I use is determined by the type of miniature and the color that it will be painted.

      I always use brush on primer, for a variety of reasons. I never have to worry about the weather, I use a lot less primer, and I can even vary the primer color on the same miniature.

      For vehicles, I will usually prime the armor sections white or grey, while the treads or weapons are primed black.

      I stick with the white primer, as it does allow techniques like the SE-NMM to shine a bit more.
