Well, I hope you're all keeping well and safe during these harrowing times... I get out once a day; in the morning to walk the hound for an hour or so but then it's staying in for the rest of the day. I shop about twice a week and keep in contact with my partner by phone... living on my own makes it quite stark although my two munchkins do visit (currently allowed) from their mum's nearby. I've been doing a evening live feed on Facebook, wittering on about painting and miniatures in general but haven't worked out how to export the videos to YouTube or here. There is a great hobby community out there and it keeps me sane... well, as sane as I could ever be of course. If you 'do' Facebook then the Old School Miniatures group is here. If you don't then join in, it's really therapeutic...
Edit... found how to save the videos so they're now on my YouTube channel... lol, at this rate I'll become a vlogger.

On to the minis completed this week;
Dragontooth P18 Swordsman Roland
Roland has been half painted for 10 years or more... this has been great motivation for me to finally finish some WIPs...
Ral Partha Halfling from the AD&D 3 Stage Character set...
Premier Productions 'Conquest' Saracens by Al Charles. This was a 40mm range of Saracens and Templar style knights. A nice range, I've a few more to do and a few more to find of course. Unfortunately I put them on different sized bases... oops...
Ral Partha Fantasy Collector Series 02-021 Deep Elf Firing Bow...
Edit; still available from Iron Wind Metals, now a Sea Elf.

Finally, an Old Glory Trojan from the command pack, available here.
That's it for now. Time to have a quick shower and take the hound out... she's getting a little bored although we do have a small back garden she can be let loose in at least. Keep safe everyone and keep isolating where you can.

A Deep Elf from Ral Partha, that takes me back. I like your painting style, very crisp and clean.
Thanks Phil. They're still available since being re-released by Iron Wind Metals. I'll add a link I think.
Great painting and lovely figures. I'll have to get on this Facebook lark for this and the Oldhammer group.
Thanks, it's quite addictive in truth!
Cracking work David - I may yet paint the few Tom Meier Elves in my collection yet after seeing yours!
Thanks, so much lead, so little time :)
