Thanks all

Demi - yep thats the two brush blending I use, it can be done with one brush by 'sucking' paint off the brush tip and dragging across like a clean brush.

More work on his right arm. Still using an extreme 'forced contrast' technique.

Tsse tsse. I go for a holiday vacation and wen I come back you have all this already ( run for brushes and minis ).

Lovely painting job 10. The face is just jaw dropping. How big is it?

 

[ten ball]

Thanks Alex, its a 54mm scale.

Finished Columbo over the weekend. Really pleased, the limited colours have really worked. Ive also got some good practice in with my two brush blending.

My daughter had a board game for xmas with little plastic characters sooooooooooo daddy had to paint them also

Very nice and voted

Very nice mate. The blending is very smooth indeed. That forced contrast thingy has worked out very nice and has added a lot of depth and interest to the mini. I would consider if you have time a more involved base maybe helping tell a story but you know I'm not going to get into the whole c thing again if you have some time it might be worth thinking about as this is easily good enough for euro.

Thanks mate, the base came with the mini and I had already attached him to it before painting. For once I made a good solid job of fixing him to the base so didnt want to risk any damage changing it at this late stage.

 

[AndyG]

Fair dinkums cobber.

Nice departure for you and voted. I hope you painted more than one of your daughters figures for the game.

Very cool, nice to see what you can do at a larger scale. I'm glad I am not the only one who gets sucked into improving my kids things with my hobby obsessions. Mine asked me to fix her Candy Land pieces since they kept falling over. I spent 2 evenings weighting the bottoms of the pieces and then filling them and put nice felt pads on the bottoms cut to the shape of the pieces. At least now we can play to find out who will reign supreme for total candy dominance without the pieces falling over.

Love the smoke! I also am really envious of the way you were able make the limited colors work.

 

[Milosh]

awesome work on Columbo sir!

 

[Khonner]

Nice work, 10.. What colors did you use for the jacket?

 

[ten ball]

Thanks all

Khonner - The jacket is GW sand (whatever its called?) / shadow with vmc camo black / highlights with vmc buff & ivory. With a few glazes of vmc orange (that I seem to use on everything).

 

[ten ball]

So jealous of the way you guys just whip up bases. Excellent work on the big guy. I sometimes use one brush to smoosh two colors together when wet - not sure I could handle two brushes.

 

[wargamesculptor]

Very nice base sir, the models look right at home there

So jealous of the way you guys just whip up bases.

you said it man. I am lucky if I can dab some glue on a base and flock it. This is just awesome.
