Scribbs' Incidental Diversions
Wiglaf Miniatures and Jon Hodgson Backgrounds
I recently returned to my handful of unpainted Wiglaf Miniatures, splitting them into a two rough groups and picking a trio of different colours to act as a unifying scheme for each.
As mentioned before, these are very nice 18mm sculpts, very easy to paint, just the right amount of detail without becoming cluttered.
I had a bit of fun with the very oversized flags. The designs are based on illustrations from the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript dating from ca.800 AD. That’s about 150-200 years after the era these models depict, but made in a Columban monastery in either Scotland or Ireland. The Columban monks spread from Iona around to the North of England, so I figured that the images were appropriate if not necessarily contemporary.
I got these figures finished just as a book of photo backdrops arrived in the post. Made by Jon Hodgson, these backdrops are fantastic, well worth checking out. Books are available to buy via Bad Squiddo games.
I too supported the backdrop KS and they do indeed look great!
Yes, I think I’m going to enjoy using the backdrops a lot.
A very fine collection of backdrops to make a hazy world that the figures live in.
At some stage I’ll have to sort out some foreground pieces to do the backgrounds justice.
