Painting Blue Moon Boxer Rebellion Buildings/WIP (Jan. 28: British legation)
(1/13) > >>
War In 15MM:
Since June I have been working on my 15mm Boxer Rebellion which has a 55 Days At Peking look. While I have figures from Preiser HO, Frontier and Old Glory 15s, most of this collection is built around the Blue Moon 15s’ figures and buildings. Having said that, I actually began by scratch-building new walls for the British, French, Japanese, Russian, German and US legations so that I could give those legations two looks: pre-siege and siege. At the beginning of July with those walls built, I shifted my attention to figure painting. As of mid-December I have finished more than 900 figures for this collection: Boxers, Imperial Chinese Army, Chinese civilians, Great Power civilians, and military for British, French, Japanese, Russian, US, and Italian defense forces. With those done, this week I turned to painting the structures that will make up Peking’s legation area plus the buildings that surround that area. I’ve started with Chinese civilian structures… all from the Blue Moon collection. I still have about 10 more Blue Moon Chinese buildings to paint plus some ceramic Chinese structures originally intended for use as decor with potted plants. When the Chinese structures are completed, I will turn to the British, French, Japanese, Russian, and US legations (both pre-siege and siege versions). Since I have not seen any painted versions of these buildings, I’ve decided to share my work on them in an ongoing WIP thread here.IMG_2265 by Richard Garretson, on FlickrIMG_2267 by Richard Garretson, on FlickrIMG_2269 by Richard Garretson, on FlickrIMG_2271 by Richard Garretson, on FlickrIMG_2273 by Richard Garretson, on Flickr

Quite lovely work - as always expected from your talented hands. And far out in the lead as also expected. Don't get upset with me, sir: I just may be 'stealing' many an idea displayed through your fingers from your rich imaginative brain. lol lol
I did at least 'touch' some of my Boxer stuff today! Next year, with some luck, progress will resume.

Your buildings look great- just the right amount of colour. 900 figures is very impressive in such a short period.

Very nice start! Would you be disappointed if I told you that I prefer the ruined versions? lol lol Very atmospheric. They will be impressive en mass. Lon
