I managed to get a wash on the clothing. Figures always look naff at this stage, it can get a bit disheartening especially when you look at the amazing work some people do.
Bedtime Trollkin
I managed to get some more of the base colours done this evening. They are lovely figures, they do, however, have faces only a mother could love. They work for Trollkin though.
Lunchtime painting.
Another lovely set of civilians for Valon. These are made of resin so are very light.
I decided to bite the bullet and try a bit of a building. The ship is for my mate at the club. I said I would build it for him.
I will add more information once I get building.
Well I made up my first ever mdf model. Luckily I started with an easy one. The brougham is a bit of a more complex one. I still managed to snap a bit.
It would have been nice if it had been etched on both sides.
I might actually just get some balsa struts in there to break it up a bit.
Latest figures finished and not some 70’s progressive rock band.
I really must sort out a way to take better photographs. Once the shed is redone I will have a painting area with a light box and better lighting.
I have got the kids painting today.
I have made a start on these two. I have a bit of a conundrum with the froggy. It is basically down to the colour of his skin. On the website he is a blue colour. I am not so sure about blue, but if not, then what? He is meant to be mega rich, so his clothes are vivid colours with gold brocade ( base colour on ready for dry brushing with shining gold then top highlight with burnished gold). The dwarf is still in a base colour stage. I will get him further tomorrow.
Next up Baron Petrochemicoli and a dwarf in a travelling cloak.
All painted (well apart from a wash on the butt of the blunderbuss)
Onto this lot next. An Orc chaplain who seems to be doing his best to ‘save’ Pluncorc and MacMean. No doubt hellfire and dammnation will be included.
Cracked on a bit with these this morning (I actually got up early).
I am really enjoying painting these. Not sure why I like them so much, probably because they are so full ofcharacter. The orc in the raincoat makes me think of him standing in the rain. Stuck there with a look of resignation on his face.
A trio of civilians with the washes still wet. I do like this set, I originally didn’t get the dwarf woodsman as I wasn’t going to have any dwarves. This may change as I really like the dwarf civilians set. The bloodhound with the blunderbuss is awesome. For some reason I think he is going to be a gamekeeper or something like that. I did consider him to be Ernst Von Krum’s gentleman’s gentleman. We will see how he looks when finished. The other two in this trio are fab. One armed with a knife, the other unarmed.. he reminds me of a coachman in his heavy coat. Time to make a coach methinks. I started one for Mordheim, but I think it bought the farm 🤔☹️.
