Cheesey153 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I bought this little fellow from Mr Lee's Minis at SMW Telford and couldn't delay painting him. He's 'The Passionate Ringmaster', part 1 of the 'Strange Love' duo. I think the title has lost something is translation because, whatever he resembles, he doesn't remind me of a traditional ringmaster. It matters not; he's fun to paint. He stands 54mm tall but his head is more like 75mm. Painted in Vallejo acylics, a quick and simple exercise in painting directional light & shade. I have something in mind for the groundwork, maybe I'll complete it at a later date.... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhouse Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 That's very good indeed. "Quick and simple" Not to me - it looks like magic. Any chance of a tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesey153 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Thanks gents. Yes, he's different but he's an irresitible little blighter, isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 A lot of talent has gone into that figure fella, the tonal variation in just the waistcoat is awesome let lone the rest of the figure, the hat is again another amazing bit of paint work, keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to keep it up but problem is there are just too many other things to be be doing too: planes, tanks, cars, half tracks, helicopters - all of which occupy space on my shelves! The figures in my stash have to join the queue Edited December 8, 2018 by Cheesey153 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of a tutorial? Thank you Brian. I don't mean to be facile but it really was quick & simple - aided by it being a somewhat comical figure not needing the accuracies and subtlties of a historic figure. I don't want to shirk my responsibilities as a forum member so I am happy to share but, in all honesty, there's nothing I've done with this figure (or any other figure I paint) that hasn't been done previously, and explained previously. Having said that, please do ask questions should you think I could offer anything in return! The problem with tutorials is that my photography is poo! I need to take about 100 pics to get 1 passable image Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
