'Old John' The Movie !

 As I'm very much enjoying the progress of my YouTube channel I recently invested in a subscription to Power Director in order to work on improving my video editing ability. The latest offering from 'Gruff Mumbling Productions' represents a slight step forward in that it is by way of a series of images of figures that I have painted over the last decade or more for Old John with a narration overlaid. Early days but I'm slowly getting the hang of things!

John and I are now going to work on another video featuring as many of the ACW figures as possible that I have painted for his huge collection. I hope to improve on the production quality. 

THis one features some of my personal favourites as well as a few shots of John's wargame room and table as well as the man himself. There are also a couple of shots of WSS Les Higgins cavalry I painted for Tony ('Foy') some time back. Not exactly seamless quality but fun to do.

    1. I have indeed Geoff and this is just tip of the iceberg! I am just having slight eyesight issues with the smaller stuff, 2mm and 6mm, even 10mm, nothing major but a definite loss of sharp focus.
      Cheers,
      Lee.

  2. Great to see the man himself behind that collection, both literally and figuratively speaking!

    1. Hi David, yes, the great 'Old John' has kept me painting for well over a decade now! so I plan to dig up more photos to share. ACW's is the latest.
      All the best,
      Lee.

  3. Sensational Lee! John is extremely fortunate to have you bringing those marvellous figures to life.
    Kind regards, James
