Finally started painting some Threshold models. These are still work in progress. Haven't got a good idea on how to do the eyes on models this small and make them look good...I haven't done eyes with pupils before.
By the way, I used a flash when taking these pictures, so some details are lost due to over-exposure and shadows.

Wow lovely mate! Lovely!
(dutch: wow super gedaan echt heel vet! Weet jij een goede source om aan het boek etc te komen in nederland?)
-
Great work so far! Looking forward to see them finished in real life someday, maybe at a Ducosim convention in the near future?

Thanks guys, just did some more work on the Priest (he's called Jack Hackett)...did the scarf, eyes and the cross. Still have the base to do.

Dutch translated into English: Ordered the books directly from Uncle Mike, but Battlefield Berlin also sells them (http://shop.battlefield-berlin.de/index.php/katalog/showarticles/43560-1-strange_aeons.html (http://shop.battlefield-berlin.de/index.php/katalog/showarticles/43560-1-strange_aeons.html)).

At the Ducosim of May 12th perhaps? I reserved that date just in case.

Very nice, Sir!
:-*
Wher are the minis from?
I am looking to put together some more for my own SA foray and do not recognise these.

Thanks...these are from Artizan Designs' Thrilling Tales range. Very nice models, but to be honest they do need quite a bit of cleaning up compared to other manufacturers. They're 28mm by the way (as you've probably already guessed).

I thought that I was familiar with the TT range, but did not recognise these. o_o
Seems I am not....
Anyway, your work has made me go and take another look. ::)
Nice.
-
Great work! Looking forward to posting some of my stuff soon!
-
Looking good :). I like your painting style. Looking forward to see these finished
-
Very nice!!
-
Thank you all for the kind words. I'm currently working on the bases, the sand, rocks and final watered down PVA glue layer (to make the flocking nearly indestructible) have been added . Still have to paint the base and add some static grass, but I'm going to do that as soon as the PVA glue has dried...either tonight or tomorrow and then they're finished.

Would be cool, but I'm not sure if I will be able to make it, since it's 6 days before my marriage...
I'll reserve the day for Ducosim though, since I don't expect any complications. :)

Nice start, but I have to say a little heavy on the dip it looks like it's killed the flesh tone highlights which you need to go back and refresh. Also I'd advise basing/sanding before you undercoat, unless you're mounting them on resin scenic bases, easier to paint up and less risk of wrecking your mini pj's.
Be good to see them finished.

I'm just crap with skin tones...redid them a bit and it looks a bit better now I think. Here are the pictures, the only problem I have is that Photobucket makes the colors look less vibrant than the originals, so in real life and the original pictures everything's a bit more vibrant:

Edit: used ImageShack this time which works better.

Do you use the photobucket options to clean your pictures? I am toying with that now and getting some great success.

Nope, I use Photoshop to proces my pictures, but when I upload them to Photobucket they get dulled somewhat. Still have to see if I can get things right (or use another website to host my pictures).
Edit: just used ImageShack, and everything is as it should be right now...edited the picture post with pictures from the ImageShack account.

I like them, very bright colours!! That female agent is gorgeous I need some more Artizan models lol.
cheers.
-
Thanks...I like to paint everything in bright colors as it makes miniatures look more cartoonish. Artizan has some very nice sculpts with lots of details but they do need quite a bit of cleaning up though.
-
They look great to me.
Fine painting.
Hope to see more.

Just painted a new Threshold Agent...Agent Obed:

Thar be some Fish People in them seas!

He is lovely!
:-*
Great paintjob all round, but the lantern and base really do it for me!
;D
Would you mind giving a brief description on how you did the base?
-
Captain Birdseye ... Deep One Fingers in breadcrumbs, anyone?

Thanks. The base is relatively easy, I used some Green Stuff to make a little shore and flocked the GS part like normal (PVA glue with sand and small rocks). I left the part of the base without GS without any stones and painted it black. Stuck some masking tape all over the model and made a line to where the water should come and used an airbrush to make a gradient from black to green. Finally I used some Realistic Water from Woodland Scenics and filled up the base up until the green line. By the way, I kind of hate the Woodland Scenics Realistic Water as it shrinks like crazy and it made PVA glue and Vallejo Water Effects turn white...for small bases it's pretty good though, because the shrinking gives some shape to the water surface.
Pretty easy, isn't it?
-
Wow man! That is one excellent looking agent! :-* I love the colours used on him, and that base just completes it. Such a small surface and you're able to tell a story on it. Love it! :)
-
Wow he is really nice!
-
Nice job! I've always liked that miniature.
Your paintjob really does him justice! :-*
-
Very nice figure!
-
Thank you all for the kind words. It's a great figure.
By the way, what you can't see clearly in the picture, is that I've used some glossy varnish on the glass of the lantern.
-

You make it sound so.
Thank you very much, necrocannibal!
-
Great model and a perfect paint job! Very evocative. :-*
-
Thanks, the nice comments mean a lot to me as I don't think I'm that good at painting models (at least better at painting Pulp than Warhammer 40K Tyranids).
-
I really like what you have done with that miniature!! It looks like he's making light signals to the Deep Ones in the Devil Riff.
Cheers.
