Jim Wasley Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Well here is part of my project finished and boy was it hard my hat goes off to you guys that do this all the time,I've seen some on line painted by the 100's,I would need another life time to finish that many,the figures were painted with acrylics and finished with a mat varnish,I'm sorry the pics are not to clear I was pushing my little snap camera to it's limit,would look a little better if the camera was better,Thanks and hope you enjoy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Nicely done. Did you use a wash at all Jim? A sepia wash on the face is enough to bring out some detail there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thanks Fred I remember you telling me about the wash,one of the figures had nice mouth detail and after the wash it came up fine almost looked like he had a Moe,a lot of the detail has been lost with the camera,my wife has a tablet that takes very good pics,will try and take some better ones,I must have went over these figures a dozen times and I always found some little thing I missed and when I dug out the big gun a powerful magnifier I have boy did I see another would of miniatures even found a dozen parts I lost on the floor months ago HaHa,you guys who do this scale all the time must have the attention of a brain surgeon,I still have the artillery figures to do,that's a worry,but must say they have been fun,and they look great on the shelf with my 1/35 scale figures and Armour,not sure if I'm hooked but have seen some nice ones in Medieval Knights that look good,Cheers and thanks for your help and comments.Have added some new pic,to try and get some detail visible,I also put another wash over their faces,it is as dark as I really would like to go,looks like they have had a holiday in Spain or down here in sunny Australia Cheers.
