Finally finished my Ortega crew.

What a joy to paint these are such good sculpts.

Hope you enjoy.

Please comment to help me improve.

Papa Loco

Had lots of fun adding his insane scribbling all over his straight jacket and adding a little foaming at the mouth.

Thanks, a guy at my LGC raided his bits box and managed to find me some old GW undead horses. I was after an animal skull but the ribs and spine have done the trick I think.

I like them all. I am not all that crazy about papa loco just something about it is off to me but the rest are top notch to me.

Thanks, I agree Loco doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the crew. I enjoyed painting him though.

Excellent stuff. Great attention to detail, especially with the basing. It's hard to believe that only a few years ago people would spend hours on a mini and then stick it on a cheap base...possibly with a little drygrass.

A crew to be proud of

If you held a gun to my head and forced me to make one improvement suggestion I'd say that the highlights are possibly too harsh, especially on Perdita? Could be the photos though...

Thanks Finn17. Thanks for the comment about the highlights. I need comments like this to improve. I was wondering why she was scoring so low. You are correct the highlights are very harsh. In real life the blending looks much better on her stomach but in the photo it looks terrible.

I would also say that the roughish highlighting on Perdita's flesh is a bit distracting. However, I like that same effect on the cloth of all the models.

Santiago is my favorite of the whole bunch.

It's a great looking crew, and one you should be proud of.

That's why I gave up taking pictures...it made me sooo depressed..

Yes Santiago has turned out to be my fave too.

very nice, but id have liked to see more cohesive bases to tie them together.

Good point funnymouth, the terrain board im working on is a desert/wasteland board with wild west style frontier town with a bit of steam punk thrown in. So im hoping they will look at home on that board. Will post pics when its complete.
