Nice brushwork as usual Orctrader. Those are 1st Corp C20 Follies figures?
-
Great work Malcolm! Love the tartan shawl, the monstrous son's shirt and the skin tones.
-
Those look great! Love the grandma...

Edith is a live and kicking!
Cracking job I've not got a copy yet so I was only 80% sure they'd worked.
I like the tones on her dress and apron.
Six yes they are and she lives here :D
Orc. PM sent.
-
very nice indeed!
-
Thanks. Real blast to paint. :)
Those are 1st Corp C20 Follies figures?
Yes. I bought a few of the range.
-
Orctrader, are those little notes you painted on his back? And head? "If found, return to 'is mum"?
-
I'd have given the big guy "unfortunate teeth...less perfect and a lost less "pearly white" :D
-
...are those little notes you painted on his back? And head?
Parchment with controlling spells. ::)
-
I see..... :?

The mountaineers are fantastic. I like the limited colour pallet and the simple bases. Great stuff :o
-
Thanks guys. :)
-
Excellent Brush work!

From "The Nightgaunt's Nightmare" by Cosmondo. 3d Printed miniatures. Although advertised as 32mm the seller printed these at 28mm for me so they fit with other Pulpy-type figures.
First up, the Anarchist, the Hunter and the Gangster
-
Very nice,
Malcom are those the prints you mentioned you were going to try .Or something entirely different?

Cheers

Thanks chaps. Glad you like them. :)

Wow, really nice work.

Great work throughout this thread, I particularly like the arctic explorers.

Fantastic paint jobs!!

Great paintwork on all of them, but

Thanks. Glad you like them. :)

Those are great! :o

Lovely paintwork and sculpts! :-*
-
You have a real talent. No idea how you get the coats so smooth.
-
Thanks everyone.
Last for a while, Pulp Figures from the Daughters of the Empire set.
-
Lovely paint jobs, as usual.
-
Lovely! Beautiful figures beautifully painted!
-
Yeah - more loverly figures!
-
More inspiring pulp goodness.
-
Great work, as usual! 👍
-
The missing figure from the Daughters of the Empire set (I didn't photograph it with the others. ::) )
Couple of group shots. (I'll be posting on Ebay tomorrow and I think the group shots help.)
A dwarf - or very short ??? - Deep Sea Diver. (Think it's an Inso sculpt from way back. Probably OOP now.)
-
Awed by the lightness of your painting awesomeness!
-
Masterful brushwork!
-
Great work!
-
Another beautiful paint job Malcolm!
-
Nice work indeed! :-* The tartan looks really good.
-
Pulp Figures Gestapo Guards
-
Suitably nasty Malcolm! Once again you pull off the black painting masterfully.
-
Nice job on those fellers. The big guy in the 1st pic must get his uniforms from the "Big and Tall" shop... :o 8)

Cracking nasties 8) 8) 8)

Thanks chaps. :)

Tangrenbu - Brigade Games.
There are four packs of three miniatures. I changed the order though as I saw them in a kind of Caste system in the Tong. (These are slotta tab figures but the new owner wanted thin bases.)
The lowest form of thug first.
(https://www.orctrader.co.uk/Images/PULP/Tong/Tong1.jpg)
Then the next-level up. A slightly higher grade of thug.
(https://www.orctrader.co.uk/Images/PULP/Tong/Tong3.jpg)
Then these chaps are the assassins \ executioners. When they are sent out the Tong leaders want everyone to know what is happening.
(https://www.orctrader.co.uk/Images/PULP/Tong/Tong5.jpg)
And talking of the Leaders...

-
You have such a clean yet deep style. Love it.
-
These are fantastic Malcolm! I love the emotion that you have been able to bring out in their faces. I really didn't think that the leaders sculpts were that good until I saw how you painted them.
-
Nicely done, love that red 8)
-
Lovely colour choices Malcolm.
I know Lon's chuffed with how they've turned out.
-
Thanks for commenting. Glad you like them. :)

Thanks Lon.
In the raw metal they don't really look like Leaders, well, perhaps the suited guy with swordstick. Once painting starts though the sculptor's intention becomes clear. The one pointing the gun obviously has an expensive red silk shirt and the other has a very expensive hat and a Chinese-style jacket far superior to the underlings. :)
-
Excellent Tong figures.

Pulp Figures Drawing Room Detectives

Lovely 8)

Lovely PJ
Probably my favourite set of Pulp Minis too : 8)

Worthy treatment of great minis!

Damn fine Malcolm! :-* :-*
-
The Fella with the books is particularly good.
-
Astonishingly well done - love the Miss Marple particularly :-*
-
Thanks chaps. :)
-
Well, they look really good to me, too!

Northstar Tongs.
(https://www.orctrader.co.uk/Images/PULP/Tong/NS_Tong.jpg)
-
Lovely work.
How do you get the subtle shades in the clothing? I can get shades, but not the gentle change of colours.
-
Amazing, as usual! Love 'em... :-*
Mike Demana
-
So many Tongs and boxer-era Chinese out there, but man oh man do I wish there were some good interwar ones to match the Copplestone Chinese soldiers!
Lovely painting on those in any case though! :D
-
Beautiful smooth painting as usual Malcolm!
-
Holmes is actually Sexton Blake, a 20th century creation similar to Holmes.

I thought that, but before painting I checked with Mr Murch..
Holmes was really my intent but Blake is good too. ::)
-
Thanks. Glad you like them. :)

Thinned paints, several layers though often "only" three shades and, usually, I mix my own paint. That red jacket, for example. A red paint. Add black for the base colour, then add the original red back in for mid and more for highlight. Also, I usually make sure previous layer is dry so this is not wet-blending. Occasionally I add a glaze - base colour thinned to almost water. Chap in the long blue garment with sword and pistol had a glaze.
Hope this helps.

Oh yes! These fit the ticket nicely! Soon to join their bretheren on Guam.

Thanks. So that I can be sure I understood this, the red jacket would be washes of red-black-red-red, all layers dry between washes. Is that correct?
And what's the difference between a wash and a glaze?
-
...Is that correct?
Not quite. The red jacket, in fact most of my stuff, no glaze or wash. So it was: Red & Black for the base coat. Then add red into the mix for the next layer, more red for the last\highlight.
And what's the difference between a wash and a glaze?
For me, a wash is thinned paint or ink, and a glaze is the same but even more water. (So thin, it's almost water... ::) )

A wash is very thinned paint (water for acrylics, turps for oils). A glaze is very small amounts of opaque pigment suspended within a transparent medium (liquid acrylic medium for acrylics,
linseed oil for oils) that dries translucent like glass. It can be layered upon.
