I've always liked painting 25mm figures. Back when I played Dungeons & Dragons, back in the late 1970s and 1980s, 25mm figures were not especially common - at least in my neck of the woods - and I hadn't really discovered tabletop wargaming (I was still playing Tobruk and PanzerBlitz with cardboard counters, and liked it that way). But since, I've found that I like itty-bitty 25mm figures, even though I don't really play D&D any more and haven't done any tabletop wargaming since I got out of the hospital.
(Explanation: While I was in the hospital waiting for my transplanted bone marrow to start making blood cells again, I made some trireme and bireme ships out of pieces of paper, and drew rulers and dice on other pieces of paper and amused myself for several days refighting the battle of Actium.)
Anyway - I have no idea where these figures came from. I just painted them, glued them to a piece of wood, and made landscape with model railroad stuff. I don't even cut off the bases; I just build up the ground with putty or drywall compound until the bases are hidden. All I really know about them is that they're 25mm figures, and they were fun to paint.

Nice work! whenever I tried painting larger figures they've always wound with that "surprised " look on their faces. I've got to learn how to do that properly.
