@ DragonPaint Those wips are looking freaking cool. I love your flesh tones. What colors did you use? :innocent:

Black primer, basecoat using Vallejo Model Color Mahogany Brown (846) then I have started the highlights mixing in a bit of Vallejo Game Color Dwarf Skin (41).
After three passes (60/40, 40/60 and 10/90%) I have washed all the area using GW Flesh wash diluited with water (1/5) to smooth the transactions.
Then I have started adding the lights using Vallejo Game Color Sunny Skintone (845) mixed with GW Flesh wash.
I think I have painted 4 or 5 passes increasing the Sunny Skintone and smoothing with a mix of 1 part of Sunny Skintone, 1 part of Flesh wash and 10 parts of waters if the transaction was too hard.

The eyes have a white basecoat with Vallejo Red (926) iris and black pupil with a point of white for the light.

Teeths: basecoat with Andrea Colors Japanese Khaki (you can use Vallejo Game Color Japanese Uniform WWII (923) or GW Bubonic Brown) and highlight adding Vallejo Model Color Buff (976) (3 passes).
Final highlight using White.

Tongue: Vallejo Model Color Red (926), highlight using Vallejo Model Color Amarantha Red (829) and final highlight adding a bit of White.
Then I have glazed everythig using Tamiya Clead Red.

For the rings, first pass using Vallejo Game color Brass (801) mixed with a bit of black, then pure Brass and then Vallejo Gold (996)

Hey thanks for the quick reply DragonPaint. I will have to try this out.

Thanks Drake,

Basecoat white,
Wash with dilute scorched brown,
First layer Scorch Brown/Snakebite Leather mix,
Second layer Snakebite leather
Third layer Snakebite Leather/Bleached Bone Mix
Fourth layer to finish Snakebite through to pure Bleached Bone and keep going by adding white .
I\'ve still got the final highlights but I don\'t want to go too light as I want that just out the ground look.
I hope that helps.

Cheers Tim.

To date I\'ve heard naught from DM of Doom as to whether he got his minis Come on man, I hate to think they went missing en route... Though I understand the Herseys have been busy lately with some con or whatever

I\'ve barely started my mini (Cowgirl Sophie) - and she\'s an ambitious project! I might not get this one finished in time, alas, it\'s mostly Real Life interfering...

@tidoco - you got a badger! I love that guy. Lucky you!

 

[MarkusTay]

You got a cowgirl sophie!?

You lucky Bastitch!

I\'d give my left testicle for one of those!

(Not the right... I\'m rather fond of the right...)

lol

 

[Galante]

You know you\'re addicted to lead when...
... you have a house full of it, and you would still give a testicle for more lol

PS: What is the name of the metal mini?

Oh. Didn\'t see that! It\'s a Thunderbolt Mountain Wood Elf Archer in Chainmail with Plates
Really nice models from them. Very detailed!

 

[Drake Farstrider]

@ tidocco2222 Hey thanks Tim. It is always nice to see how other people paint things. Especially those that are better painters than me.

Jeremy

 

[tidoco2222]

Jeremy you are most welcome.

I am sorry for not getting on here sooner to let you know, but Yes, they have arrived and in good shape. Sorry for the stress...I have been a bit busy as of late. Not quite sure who I want to paint up first, the old school or the Rackham. Never done a rackham before. Maybe I\'ll try painting \"rackham\" style on the old school mini as a warm up. Then maybe I\'ll paint the rackham in an \"old school\" style for a cool down.

Hmmm, where did I put those enamels.....

Noooooooooo!

 

[TML]

All great minis, just outstanding! Especially the Giant and the NMM Dwarf... I\'m waiting for my minis, I can\'t wait to start painting and post my pictures!

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I\'ll send Einon my minis. They are already packed, only thing I have to do is find some time to send them

mini exchange

I\'d love to get involved in this whole mini exchange thing.

I haven\'t painted for around a year now and feel this might give me a good enough reason to pull out the palette etc and have a paint.

Please let me know if you\'re interested in exchanging a mini with me.

Peace.

 

[QuietiManes]

Woe is me...

Does anyone know or has anyone seen Argonaux recently? I\'ve still not recieved my mini\'s and my post a couple pages back and PM at the same time a couple days ago have gone unanswered.

I think he participated in ME3 so I dont think he\'s out for free mini\'s or anything. But I am getting rather curious.

???

 

[MarkusTay]

Just checked, he DEFINATELY asked to be in this one, he PM\'d me on the 23rd. Did James9487 get in touch with him? If not, he should send to you. If he has already mailed them, then I will get you a package out by Monday.

@Laurence - The next sign up will start on August 19, so that\'s a mere three weeks away. I can\'t do anymore private exchanges for now, but if anyone wants to that would be great.

@KittyKat23UK - PM me your address, it\'s already thursday and still no word from Jezzter? Galante mailed a packege off to him, right? Maybe I should get his address from Galante... I only live one state away and I\'m a VERY LARGE MAN.



lol


Just kidding, shit happens. We don\'t need to start a CMON maffia.

 

[QuietiManes]

Yeah, he contacted me to get my address right after the list was posted. Just havent heard from him since.

The main reason I\'m trying to get to the bottom of this is because my mailman is quite a dumb jerk. If it was delivered to the wrong address or something I\'d wanna know about it ASAP. Hopefully it was insured or tracked.

 

[MarkusTay]

Oh wait, that\'s right! Didn\'t he have a problem with your name? (I\'m too lazy to re-read the ENTIRE thread). That does seem VERY odd, he made a big deal about getting in touch with you, so I would assume he sent something. ???
