Don't we normally make these threads at the closing of the month?

I'm no longer sure, though I did refrain from starting 'What I painted in January 2011', because I thought that maybe was pushing it just a bit too much.

The Pulp Figures are for a commission work while I ordered the Gnome Wars French Cream Puff Mortar just to see what these figures look like "in the flesh". I like them and I’m pretty sure I will order some more soon.

I will edit my post during the month if I get the time to finish other figures.

Wow - those Gnomes look like they should be 40mm or 54mm (since Gnomes are supposedly smaller than men). They look fun though.

Very nice work Dany, as usual!

Ligne claire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_claire) as applied to miniatures - hadn't thought of it that way, but it's true. Very nice.

Oh, and in the December painting achievements list: one (1) 28mm kilt in recognizable MacKenzie tartan. Looks pretty damn good, if I may be so bold. Thank Dog it's a single figure, not a whole bleeding unit of Highlanders!

Post by: Calimero on December 12, 2010, 01:55:16 PM: Thank you for your comments pals ... I think Sir Dryden is right even though I never thought of that myself. I think this style of painting really complete the figures Bob sculpted. It is both a (fairly) easy and effective method.

lol @ Mancha, what can I say? I like to paint Pulp Figures... by the way, does someone need some Pulp Figures to be painted? ;)

Title: Re: What I Painted In December 2010
Post by: Dale Hurtt on December 15, 2010, 08:07:14 PM: I made and painted both figures, but only the figure on the right was done this month. I was experimenting with the firing pose. The figures are 42mm and made from wood. I have tutorials on how to make the figures on my Wooden Warriors blog (http://wooden-warriors.blogspot.com/).

Post by: Dale Hurtt on December 18, 2010, 03:25:08 AM: Thanks. I tried several ways to represent the pose and although the "straight arm" look is anatomically incorrect, aesthetically it looked better than all my attempts at creating a bent arm.
Title: Re: What I Painted In December 2010
Post by: rob_alderman on December 18, 2010, 07:31:43 AM: Those wooden Nappies are very, very inspiring.

I am tempted to make myself some, I love how low-tech they are. I could whip them up at uni in a day. I could even cast some of them in metal at uni!

I'd probably use them for 'Little Wars' or for Song of Drums and Shakos...

But I am also tempted to make some large-scale Wooden fantasy creatures. My girlfriend would Looooove that. :)

With over 400 pounds of mail orders placed this weekend to round out projects and the promise to myself (mwuahahaha yeah right) to stop buying till lead mountain is reduced by a third, I should be going steady now (and if I repeat that enough to myself, I might even start believing it)

Invader - some good stuff there.

Did you make those movement tray or are commercial?

If so where did you pick them up, and what size base do they take?

Title: Re: What I Painted In December 2010
Post by: Silent Invader on December 23, 2010, 07:57:31 PM: Thanks chaps.

@Col.T
Regarding the trays, the short answer is that they are scratchbuilds, some entirely and others assembled from parts I had LAFer JimBibbly of Oshiro Terrain make for me. They are designed to accomodate 28mm minis on 1p coins for bases. The long answer, including a step by step of my experimentation, can be found here:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=24480.0

@DH
Thanks, everything is scratchbuilt for 28mm minis. There's more about the farm and house, including the snake rail fencing, on this LAF thread here:

I don't really know much about the Flintloque rules, themselves, but I would like to hear some ideas about how what sort of rules they were considering for her. A sort of "Combat Medic" leaps to mind, and of course having a hidden dagger, in case someone gets a little to cheeky, but that's about it. Maybe "Steady Under Fire" too. A lot of them were brave lasses.

I ordered some Great War Minis and I thought that they were a joy to paint up, definitely planning to get more in the future.

A good game to me is a game with character, not carefully written rules. I like loose rules which you can twist as a GM.

Flintloque is a nice little rules system, it is no Command and Colours (which I believe destroys any attempt at Romantic Fiction), but more character driven.

A lot of the time, the model is sculpted and then the rules are made. I am sure though, the idea would have been that she was a morale booster but also some kind of basic field medic.

No reason to be gentle at all; they look quite good. I especially like the dragoons. You should think about getting a better camera; you could show off the figures better. The one you have is grainy.

Good job!

Well, the latest ones are conversions, but there's a load more unconverted figures (though a lot of them are rather rare and near impossible to find now).
You can see all the ones I did so far here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=7668.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=7668.0)

Not sure what you mean with the question at the end. Whether it's ok to paint over greenstuff? Never had any problems with it and I do it all the time.

Most of the minis are from RAFM's Lovecraft Country set (http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02012&Category_Code=COCB), that is, a collection of Dunwich Horror characters. Another paintjob of those was seen here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=2186.0) a few years ago, done by iago. I added a few more tentacles to the horror to blend its parts better together. No other modifications there, I think.

The consulting detective is from Black Cat Bases (http://blackcatbases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=437_537&products_id=2555). He sometimes arrives when the game is afoot. (To be honest, he was a filler mini to get started again after too much real work and a break from painting. Don't ask, what made me think it was a good idea to include both check and pinstripe patterns to a quick filler mini. Almost ended up to the Thread of Woe...)

The stumps are hard plaster casts by Foundations of War (http://www.foundationsofwar.co.uk/). Needed some work, but turned out alright, I think.

All this stuff has now been added to the 2010 summary (http://dolmot.net/mini/painted_2010/) too.

Thanks, Rob.
Yes, Pendraken. Really great figures and a joy to paint (even with my declining eyesight). Hence I'm down-scaling all my figures, except my HOTT armies, to 10mm.

Post by: AndrewBeasley on January 09, 2011, 09:22:26 AM: Three walls!

Still to sort the skirting / coving and possibly the ceiling.

I did get the window sanded but the original wood preservative / stain is so bad we could be looking at a new window as some are going rotten.

Seems like I posted this last month as well :'(

Soon be done and then back in force.

Yeah, I have painted a few before (for HOTT actually), I generally use smaller 15mm stuff anyway, so it all mixes up nicely.

I'm tempted by USE ME Fantasy and using Pendraken miniatures for that...
