my new british explorers
« on: April 11, 2008, 09:59:48 AM »
Hi everyone.
A friend had asked me if I could need some unpainted british explorers from foundry models because he doesn`t need them anymore.
I thought: "Well maybe they could be usefull in the far future" and I started to paint them.
The first three exploreres are finished.
Maybe I could use them with a "Dino Adventure"? Or something like "Lost World" well I don`t know exactly right now for what I could use them, but one thing for sure: these are some realy great models and it makes much fun painting them. 8)

Here they are :)




And of course they`ve got names ;)
I´m proud to present you:
"Sir Thomas Fletcher the third"


"James Edwards"


"William Baldwin"


Hope you like them :)

I really like the contrasts. Makes them look broody. You may want to take down the partly glossy finish with some brush on matte coat.

I like the way you have done the bases. :)

I think that`s a good idea. In the next days I try to get some coat :)

Very nice! I agree the shading makes them very dramatic, and the bases are very well done.  :)

Thank you all for your comments.
I´m very hapy to read that you like the explorers :)

Yesterday I´ve finished the next one.
Professor Ernest Morley is going to join the exploration group.
(Well the base isn`t finished yet ;) )


greetings :)
