Title: Oiled Horses or ...errr...Frogs?
Post by: Steam Flunky on January 10, 2010, 03:22:11 PM
Decided to try out painting horses with oil paints(Topic:-  http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=13306.0).
I knew i had some old oils laying around somewhere.Unfortunatly only found blue and yellow.Decided against blue or green horses,but had some of those lovely Eureka Miniatures Frog warriors(gathering dust for about a year or two).
If the technique works on horses,it will probaly work on frogs.I mean they are both animals and ..err.. small.. errrrr.
....live in swamps...green..whatever.
Here they are-

Not including the time it takes for the paint to dry,this is a very fast way of painting miniatures.Being nearly all one colour,i was going to paint them by "blending".The result would have been a little better but it would have took me probaly 10 times as long.Give it a try.

They look great. The only thing I might change would be to make them a little glossy. Nicely done.

Oh, those look great.  Wonderful painting.  I've looked at those Eureka frogs a couple of times thinking they'd be fun to paint.  You've definitely convinced me now!
