Great job on the cartoon figures, Bani. I really like them.

Thanks Nick and Eric! There's more to come but not many of the cartoon figures- cutting and painting thick card is very tedious for me, but when I can afford it, perhaps they can be engraved. I've got dozens of drawings  :)

My dear namesake Guynemer is next of course- attached is a progress picture (I've since begun the painting). This figure is about 11-12cm in height.

Hi Bani
I like to see figures from people who have their own original style
This is one of the main interest of this forum
Thank you for posting

Thanks Mark! I'll scan the drawings in case anyone else wants to try their hand at paper flats  ;)

Guynemer these are delightful!  Particularly like the fellow with the cannon. 


Nothing wrong with how you paint, these are clever and quite unique.  Well done   and thank you for sharing.

Hi all, like the new forum!
Here's some work I did around December, there's quite a few pictures. Personally I'm not happy with the way I paint, but ah well, perhaps the fact that I use acrylics is a valid excuse for poor highlighting?  :-[

First, a one-sided SYW fusilier of the Prinz Heinrich regiment (who were almost obliterated... twice!). I love Fredericus-Rex's 54mm range, despite my obsession with 30mm Franco-Prussian War stuff. The fellow on the right is only primed so far..
Next, two more 30mm 1870 figures by Droste (you knew this topic was coming at some point! ^^). Unfortunately I must varnish them, not just for handling but because damn visitors don't understand the function of a cabinet. I ordered some more, this time from Cortum, but curiously a week has passed without any reply..
Lastly, three photos of an ensemble of my own paper cartoon flats displayed in a cigar box (the small figures are 30mm, the large figure is about 20cm).
That's it for now, I'll be around more frequently now that school's over and university is starting!
