These old D&D figures were painted by my Ex Wife. She really likes bright pearly colors, so it's easy to remember her work

The year was 1989, I was in high school, and had appropriated my Folk's Garage, and the huge 7 by 4 sewing table. Pizza, 2 liters of Coke, half a dozen friends, and very very late nights full of good old Basic D&D.... ah good times. Oh, and I did paint these guys.

The lute player is by Jeannine. the headless wolf is too.

A strange masked dancer. a wrecked figure saved by the hand of my ex-wife Jeannine.

Skeletal horses excaped from a zoo and in a bog. The Kobolds had raided rag and bone cart I won't hazard a guess as to who painted or made which figures.

The Guy swigging a flagon was given to my by L.T., a nice fellow I knew in Ft. Greely Alaska. He was my first regular DM and taught me a lot about the art of mastering a game.

Scary! Scary! I always liked this skeleton guy. Its a real shame he has been handled so badly. The base under him is a counter from TSRs Battlesystem boxed set. It included a book detailing how to paint figures.

You! Please Pass the Salt! Some kind of Games Workshop guy. I don't like the style this figure was sculpted in. But it works well enough. He's represented pretty much every kind of Orc, Goblin, troll, ogre, and huminoid in my games.

This Green Monster really needs something. It's too dull grey. I think I need to give him a strong hue, maybe a bloody hand print on his shield? Or a circlet of posies around his brow...

Halt! Who goes There! Rescue Ranger confronts his pal, P Teen the dark mage. Another hijacked grenadier/star wars figure

40mm Prince August. These figures were all cast and painted on a friends dining table while I was spending a week with her in Florida. They represent the Austrian Artillery.

austrian IR no.3, Lothringin Paper buildings are print and play from Fiddler's Green.

Hapsburg Colors. Not easy to paint, but fun. Wished I'd done the inhaber.

The Reverse of the Color, and you can admire the drums and lace of those two drummers. I think they are being paraded at swordpoint... Were they naughty?

I painted these about 1996 or 7. They've been rattling about for years in boxes. I'm sad to see so many chips and dings on them. But to me they are still charming.

The Russians are Coming! Apcheronski Regiment on the advance. Colonal and standard bearers were done some 6 years later than the other figures, a few which were sent to the smelter through suffering great casualties.

I guess the standard bearer's stare is a bit stark.

The Romanoff Eagle, making it's bid for European Power!

I can't get enough of these figures. I simply must cast up more.

I'm not too happy with the Colonal. it simply doesn't look finished enough. more work on the next one.

See you boys later!

You can almost hear the drums and fifes... Wait. There aren't any drums. That's right, I forgot to make and paint regimental music. So sad.

The reverse of the eagle, but I'm not happy with that shading. Better luck next time!

A Confederate Light Artillery battery en route to the field. The figures are Imex. The caissons and guns are BMC/Americana. The horses are anybodies guess, they came out of poly bags of cowboys. The horse collars were done with greenstuff.

The Washington Artillery defends the bonny blue flag! Figures are Imex and Americana/BMC. The guns are from TSC. Guns are fine quality. Won't buy more though as i have very many BMC ones already.

BMCs Guys are very crude, but once you paint them it's not too bad. they have a heyde like simplicity that appeals to me. Imex figures are too textured. They don't have the same sense of extrapolation or simplification of reality.

There's Jackson standing like a stone wall! Left foreground; Louisianna regiment, to the left is Maryland. background with planter's hats is an Alabama unit. Left rear is Georgia.

The figures here are largely Americana/Bmc. A leavening of TSSD, Imex, and some poly bagged unknowns fill out.

In the background is Gen Lee on Traveller. On right is Jackson (mounted). Georgia Rgt is in the middle and to the left of the screen is a rgt. I can't remember right now. Kneeling officer is TSSD.

Let's hear it for the Louisiana Volunteers!

These Georgians probably hail from Cedertown in Polk county. i bet that's a Forster leading them onward...

As I recall, these guys are Texans.

Little house I made with photoshop and matte board. Door is 1 inch high.

The Church on the right was designed in Photoshop and built with matte board. The windows came from a picture in an Ebay auction of windows from a real antique new england church.

A.P. Hill, ladies and gentlemen!

I think I meant this to be Longstreet.

Reb Cavalry! Believe it or not, painted on a picnic table under an awning while I was working in Denali State Park, living in a camper. Paint flaking pretty bad comes from not being able to wash and prime them properly, and from them being out in the weather (wind, rain, cold, and heat) while I was trying to get them painted.
