In between messing around with my early Byzantines and the Sudan projects I managed to squeeze in some time to get this vignette put together. I'm sure you all know that the Malalai miniature came as a freebie if you buy three boxes of the beautifully crafted Perry

I've got several metal tribesmen awaiting their plastic compatriots to varnish and base up.

You can read more about Malalai and the vignette on my blog here:

Oh for goodness sake.

How do you get such rich colours with so much depth? Gorgeous.

He's a Baroque painter, re-born. Carravagio could get these colours but not we mere mortals. I do suspect re-incarnation.

Would it be naughty of me if I said it's just practice? :moredrink:
