A Kelt Fianna Mail Order mini from Rackham’s Confrontation game. This is my first completely painted Confrontation Mini. The first of what I hope will be a fully painted Kelt Sessairs army. I painted her for a local Painting Competition (The Comicshop’s Masterclass Painting Competition Dec. 20, 2003), voting is not over yet so I can't tell you how I did. :) But I have to say I'm really happy with how she turned out. The filigree was a huge pain to do and took hours of careful painting, I had to keep taking breaks as my hands would begin to shake from too much concentration. The most interesting thing I tried out was using Metal Medium. The blue armour was done in 8 layers from Regal Blue through Ultramarine blue to enchanted blue with a touch of white. I added Vallejo Metal medium through out the process, which gave the Blue Armour a really nice opalescence, the idea being that the armour was enameled with blue pigments mixed with crushed abalone shell. From what I understand, the ancient Celtic peoples were known for their Gold & Silver work and their enamels. She is just a beautifully sculpted miniature and was a real pleasure to paint, even though I don't look forward to painting anymore filigree. lol Cheers, Darkblade [AAvH-Darkblade]
