Absolutely right on all counts. In general, dark stain is better, but you can use some of the redder stains (like mahogany) to get some nice effects on skin. And I use the crude all-in-one wood stain and varnish, which is only $5 for a can that lasts me the better half of a year--it usually goes off from poor storage and lid fit before I run out.

Had a wonderful weekend away. Took Friday off, spent Saturday and Sunday relaxing on the Corotoman River in Virginia. Also painted these:



Brigade Caribbean Zombies and a Voodoo Priestess. I've managed to avoid the zombie-mania up to this point, but I have to admit that these were quite a lot of fun to paint. I tried to under-do the gore on them.

These are definitely going to be a pulp group when they're done threatening pirates on a banana plantation.

Well done, lad. Well done!

I've had my eyes on the Carribean Empires range for a while but having to pay the customs fee has often made me opt for other minis.

Lovely work!  Are you sure you don't have any Teutonic blood in you? :lol:

Thanks guys. I really wasn't sure about these figures to start. I thought the zombies were way over the top, but painted up they looked a lot better. They're very well detailed, as are the Voodoo practitioners (the pack has five, and I've only got one of them done up). Up close, they have a lot of nice detailing. You can't really see, but the one in the blue shirt and pants is wearing a military web belt, complete with holes for canteens and pouches. It's a nice touch. Sculptor is Faron Betchley, but I don't know what other stuff he's done. Brigade's announced another pack of zombies, which I'll probably pick up because these weren't hard to paint.

I'm sorry the price is high for you guys in Europe. Copplestone and Pardulon kind of suffer the same problems coming our way across the Atlantic.

Up next: Finishing proxy Afghans and Eureka Conquistadors!
