I know there are some who believe that every miniature deserves to be painted carefully , painstakingly one might say, with the emphasis on pain, with as much accuracy as possible. Oh well! Slap dash it is for me or an enjoyable painting session becomes a tedious chore. Long as they look lively, and most people can guess sort of what they were meant to be, I'm happy!
(hmm, If I count assembly and priming, I think these may have taken close to 3 hours. Must be middle aged spread.)
Very nice work. Enjoy the painting and let the dice sort em out.
ReplyDeleteThey look good Ross. What is your paint brand/fomula for your Flesh color as it photographs well ...?

A rum bunch. I'd keep my rifle handy if I were you.
ReplyDeleteThey look great to me, Ross.

Nothing wrong with them, Ross. They look bloodthirsty, dangerous, and ready to rock and roll. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteChasseur Jeff: I've been using craft acrylics, primarily Ceramcoat, pretty much exclusively for the last 25 or so years. The figures were primed in a mix of varnish and burnt sienna. The flesh was then given a base coat of a dark flesh mixed with burnt sienna (the names change periodically the bottle is actually labelled "native flesh" but I use it and the newer "dark flesh" interchangeably for all my flesh. Once dry it was given a wash of burnt sienna.

I'll echo the comments about them looking quite good.
ReplyDeleteNice paintwork. These chaps look as if they need keeping an eye on!
