Finished Projects

Today I managed to finish a couple of projects.

First up is the elf bust. I added a bronze colour (well I think it was – might have been an antique gold) to the dress top and crown…

I even found her stand which I sprayed black earlier. It has an elvish motif around it which I will dry brush gold.

I also worked on the dwarven bear rider and got him finished…

I just noticed white spots on the red bits where the paint has rubbed off.

I also decided to print off a new bust. I was a bit annoyed to find four hours later that it had failed. Much swearing took place. I used the pre-supprted version. I have redone  the supports myself. Now it could be the case that my bed needs levelling. I will find out tomorrow when I redo her.

I have got about half a dozen busts that I have acquired over the years, as well as a couple if new ones. Come to think of it, I probably have closer to a dozen.

Dusty Bust

Well this evening I decided to give my One Coat paints a go on my elven witch bust. I resprayed her a good few years ago and since then she has sat in a box or on my unit.

So I thought to myself I had wondered about trying glazing. So I gave it a try earlier.

Evidently I need to dust more…

I spent more time trying to remove spiderweb  and dust than I did trying to add the paint. I would like to point out that the cat hair, or whatever it is appeared between painting and  photographing.

Barkhoven – The Great Composer

Even though I am spending far too much time playing Fallout 76; I still managed to paint this pair this evening.

The collar was done with thr same light blue and it does make Barkhoven look like he has blue ears.

I cannot remember what the other one us, one of the civilian range from Alternative Armies, but as to the race… not a clue.

Ghost Bride

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.

I painted this one in 2018

Funny I went green with my original and blue with the latest one.

Adding Snow

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!

Almost Finished

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.

Jean D’Arc

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.

Knights and Pumpkins

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.

Something Achieved

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.

Another Knight Finished

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.
