Bigmick Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 They cant all be historic busts. I bought this one a while ago, from Blacksun Miniatures titled "Abdel Rashid ", but I titled him " Desert Nomad", I was going to have a clever name like " Felis Tuareg" but kept it simple. I really didnt know how to paint him, what colour the cloth should be etc, I had an idea that the cloth should look the indigo dyed fabric worn by the Tuareg. Then Scale 75 released the Elven colours paint set, just the shades of blue I needed. So started painting, copied reference pics of lions, got to the point where I was happy with the face and couldnt suss why the paint was so thin and glossy on the cloth. so sat scratching my head shaking the bottle for a few minutes And there was the answer, boy do they take some mixing, but wow do they dry matt. I painted a simple check pattern on the cloak then left the paint a few days to settle and used the small amount of pigment in the thinner as a glaze over the top, kinda works. And again he did me proud with a silver at Telford in sci fi/fantasy busts. And a bronze at Bugle Call I've no idea how I'm going to top this year, very happy camper.

Billydick Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Excellent Mick. The colours are so vivid. Did you use Scale 75 throughout ? I have a couple of their new Scalecolor Artist sets. I'm yet to use them. BillyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
