Bailey03's WIP

[moetle]

I love the soldier, he is perfect. The zombies look cool. You are such an inspiring painter, Bailey, I always look forward to your updates.

 

[Bailey03]

Thanks, Milosh, Krule, and Moetle. Well, I figured Halloween was a good time for a change of pace. I finished up the first zombie and tossed it up in the gallery.

Geez! I wish i could just whip up something like that in a few evenings - for "fun".

 

[Meph]

I wish I could whip up a few evenings in which to whip up some stuff.

I wish I could whip up a few evenings in which to whip up some stuff.

Ditto. Going on several months with no mini painting and my Zombicide arrived yesterday. Hoping to have half the quality paint the Bailey achieved on them.

 

[Bailey03]

Thanks, guys. I tend to go a lot slower with my more serious figures, worrying about every detail. I feel a little more free when I'm painting just 'for fun' things like the zombie.

Well, I'm had the chance to get back to the Officer of the Navy Guard. Just continuing on with the details. I've got 10 days until the Long Island miniature show, but I'm optimistic I'll be able to finish him in time.

And I've also been working on the Polish Lancer. When last we left this figure he'd had a run in with a drunk wedding guest at a show in DC. I've spent a lot of time repairing him and adding a few more details. I still have one or two things left to do before I post him to the gallery, but in the meantime here's a sneak peak. First is a picture from the last update I posted of him and then you can see where he is now.

yay, thats really top work mate! :good: and glad the lancer was saveable!
good luck at the show, eh i want to go to shows too... guess im a bit addicted atm lol, and nothing until april...

 

[Demihuman]

Stunning blues!

What was the Navy Guard officer's coat made out of? Are you thinking about doing another highlight on it?

The lancer makes me want to form an infantry square! Thank goodness he is only a couple of inches tall...

 

[KruleBear]

Love your thread Bailey and that horse looks rather sad from being abused by the wedding party .

 

[Milosh]

Looking great sir. I am glad the one guy is getting repaired, he is too good to leave all broken.

 

[Bailey03]

Thanks, Skel, Demihuman, Krule, and Milosh. Yeah, I couldn't leave him like he was after the show. Maybe if he'd been an old figure I could have just moved on but he was brand new.

Demihuman, I believe the coat would have been wool. Looking at the pictures I could probably add another layer or two of highlights. In person they seem a little more dramatic. With a dark coat like that I don't want to get too light... but yeah, I'd though about adding a little more before I was through.

Skel, I know what you mean, attending shows can be very addicting (especially when you start winning sweet swords ). I wish I could get to more. After this the next show I've got isn't until February... and it's over the Valentine's day weekend so my wife might veto those plans.

Fantastic work my friend. I would like to see some close ups of his face (the hat shadows it)

 

[moetle]

That is amazing dude! Good luck at the show and take lots of pics. *hint hint wink wink*

 

[Bailey03]

Thanks, moetle. I'll see what I can do. :cute:

Thanks, 10. Yeah, stupid hats always getting in the way. Here are a few close ups. I tried my best to tilt the figure so the brim didn't cast too much of a shadow.

[Demihuman]

Oh yeah, wool of course. Perfect.

 

[KruleBear]

Even more impressive that your painting is this smooth and precise even when blown up this big.

 

[Zab]

Yeah man, that would look like a hot mess if i blew mine up that much. very smooth.

 

[SkelettetS]

awesome bailey!

 

[Milosh]

really excellent skin sir.

 

[Alexandra]

Wow, your painting quality is something to aspire. Congrats.
