Yes eventually I got my finger out and picked up a paint brush and got the ghost bride up to the basing stage.
I think the ideas in my head transferred to the miniature. In fact I think it is an improvement on my own original one. For one thing I was a bit more adventurous in adding other colours.The red eyes are not evil in my mind… just the poor lass has been stood up at the alter and cried a great deal.
Funny I went green with my original and blue with the latest one.
You would imagine that after a week of the white stuff then I might have got a bit sick of it… out in the wild – yes! In the kitchen on miniature bases… not so much, but as I really dislike doing bases then … I might have to sit on the fence
So I forgot to take the photo at 15.00 today to compare the snow… this was taken up my track though!
Yes, the Flintloque miniatures are nearly done. I worked on them this evening again. Painted the base, did the rims, took the photo and then realised I had forgotten all the brass work on the rifle and pistols!
I will try and get it done during the day tomorrow.
I have a hospital appointment with a specialist on Thursday so it is a ferry trip down to Aberdeen tomorrow evening. I could have taken a flight, but this way it is cheaper for the old NHS… oh yeah and it means I get some time in Aberdeen.
I am going to see if I can find any model shops… not holding my breath as I haven’t been able to in the past.
Well sort of…
Not really much done. I was going to undercoat the militia, but it was torrential rain and strong winds so there was no way I was going to go into the shed… wimp that I am!
I painted both flags in the same blue. This was with Army Painter standard acrylic. Some shading and highlighting will be required.
Oh yeah I painted the green on the knight too.
Hopefully I can carry on tomorrow.
I carried on with the Knights and foot soldiers this evening. I just need to get the bases painted on the foot below. I have to finish Joan D’arc and make a start on another mounted knight and another banner bearer on foot,
I also got this lot done for my mate…
I still have to do the stems and then get them based up.
For these pumpkins I went outside my usual method and sprayed these black, dry brushed them white then added the orange. I actually did something different to my usual… I won’t be doing this regularly though.
In other news my new filament printer arrived today.
This evening I forced myself to paint something. I am really not in the mood at the minute. Ongoing health problems mean I am knackered and then I have had this flu thing…
But this evening I went for it 🙂
Mr Dwarf was picked up and added to the part painted pile. He is nearly finished… it has only taken me about ten months so far.
Hopefully I will keep the momentum going tomorrow.
This evening I got this pair finished.
Bill the pony made an appearance to balance the scene up a bit. I am toying with the idea to add water slide transfers to the knight as well as the shields on the various foot soldiers.
I made a start on another pair of mounted knights as well as more foot.
The school has built a little diorama for a local festival of trees. Here is a work in progress…
I will get photos of the finished diorama tomorrow… well it better be finished tomorrow as I need to get it to the organisers tomorrow afternoon.
This evening I got some paint slapped onto the Highland Miniatures Knights.
The colours for the livery are in a different style to the previous iterations.
I really had to force myself to get this small amount done. I am still not 100% so anything I manage is better than nothing.
This evening I wanted a quick win so redid this lady.
She basically is the same original colours for the tunic and breeches. I just redid them better then got the rest of her done.
I will get some flock on the base when I get a lot more miniatures done. I could have looked up what actual regiment she is from in the Flintloque world, but didn’t for two reasons. One, it is for my mate, who wasn’t that fussed and two,it is a fantasy world – I wasn’t too fussed either.
It was a nice easy miniature to paint the biggest fuss were the suspenders and even they weren’t that fussy as they are quite chunky and easy to do.
Apart from the base this was all done in Speedpaints 2.0. Oh yeah, while I remember The white bits were my rebottled GW paint from a good while ago…
I got my finger out and finished the grave digger. I also did I wthe masked lady as well as a couple of scatter pieces.
I also used any ‘spare’ paint to get some work done on the knights. Not a huge amount, but enough to make a start.
I will hopefully crack on with the knights tomorrow.
