Napoleonic Suiss and more SG-1 pictures

I've painted these guys more than an year ago, but on individual bases. Now I decided that all my napoleonic figures should be based in groups. These were the first and they are the 2 companies of the 4eme régiment Suisse. Which companies I don't know and I am not sure about the accuracy of the uniforms...

They were so well glued that I had to glue them as they were on the bigger base. Each base is 4x8 cm.

Now, Pascal from Sam's Minis World asked me for some more pictures of the figures used on that little dio. Here they are. Clic on them to zoom them.

Stargate SG-1 dio 1/72

Hi there!

First, thanks for the nice words on the previous post.

I now strongly believe movies give a bad idea on modellers! I've "met" so many great people but in cinema, most modellers are sociopaths trying to rule or destroy the world! Well, most are, but just one tabletop at a time! :D

Anyway, I am back into action. Among other things (stay tunned for the next few days) I finished this little dio about SG-1.
January was the month to start new groupbuilds at Modelismo na Net and one of them was Sci-fi (in movies and TV shows). Excellent works already done!
These are my final photos. Figures from Caesar (US Modern Army) and Italeri's NATO pilots and ground crew. The result was not what I intended at first but, hey, I had to try!

Trees and all other stuff from my own making, including that crude DHD...

 The side of the base, small flat rocks (Chlorite schist, I think) from a recent trip.... 

Hope you like it!

Proof of life

I know that my deluded few followers may question my absense so I am posting here today just to say that I am still alive (and painting? err...).

I have been (still am) feeling a bit down, being unemployed for such a long time and having no perspectives of getting a new job anytime soon... So, first of all, if you need something translated from Portuguese to English or the other way around and are looking for someone to do it, I can be your guy!

Well, I haven't been completly absent of the hobby. I am with a small project that takes small advances every day (or two days), and I tryed doing tents for my medieval figures. Also, two ships that were "comissioned" by my son but I think on them as sketches... 

This schooner (please...) got through the playing adventures all around the house, the bath time (remember I have to build a sub for the kid!) and this afternoon at the beach!! However, when I was getting it out of the car, the door closed and broke one mast! Not epic!!

I have many projects going on, so I need to snap out of this lethargy and start painting figures again! I mean, so much free time and no figures?!!
