25mm Hinchliffe Indian Chariots

         I decided to dip back into painting ancients by finishing off my collection of 25mm Hinchliffe Indians. I have been toting these minis around for nigh unto forty years now and have only gotten some infantry painted and based. These chariot models have been doing service in a state of nakedness (based and primed but nary a spot of paint) for simply ages, it was time that they had their status upgraded. I sat myself down and started work, I kept an example of one of the painted figures from the army in hand so that I could make an effort to match the style of the existing troops. After three days of steady work I had my six chariots finished and I am rather pleased with them. The simplistic style of the minis argued for a simple approach to painting, much like my "toy soldier" approach that I used on my 3-D printed Swiss, so I stuck with bold colors applied in a blocky style.

 

I have a few more, as yet unassembled,  to fill out the list and give my subgenerals a ride

 

these will bring a splash of color to an otherwise rather sedate palette 

 

all that remains is for The Housemartin to get back to our regularly scheduled
