Vallejo is coming out with paint set specifically made for painting black and white figures.
I figured that was good enough reason to dig out my old black and white Copplestone gangsters I painted six years too soon, apparently. I used old Reaper Pro paint grays (no longer available) to paint these.
With the Vallejo-tailored set, maybe it's time to paint some more!

They are some incredibly beautifully painted minis.
Speechless..
-
very clever!
-
My oh my! That is some beautiful work right there!
-
The shading and the contrasts are spot on. ;)
-
I remember seeing these before, but could not find them again.
Didnt you make some scenery to go with them, a newstand etc...?
???
Anyways, they are absolutely stunning and serious eye-candy.
:-* :-* :-*
Glad you reposted them as I can steal the colours for reference material as I have to paint something in B+W very soon!
:D
-
Please some more :-* loved them the first time and would like to see with the new paints.

Beautiful. Well done.

Whoof, these are great!

Totally rad :)

This is all the black and white scenery I have. (I made a little bit more scenery for my color gangster figures.)
Newsstand (inspired by the one offered by Steve Barber Models), a scratch-built hotdog stand, and a section of sidewalk painted onto a piece of masonite.
During the first month of my blog those years ago, I posted how to build the hotdog stand (using wood, plastic and viking shields): http://carmensminiaturepainting.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-i-made-hotdog-stand-for-my-pulp.html

Yes, I remember these. But well worth seeing again. Absolutely beautiful.
-
I knew I had a vision of those fellas standing in font of a news stand.
Brilliant!

Those black and white gangsters are superb! I particularly like the one with the stripey suit.
Does anyone know a UK supplier for this new Vallejo Black and White paint set?
-
Those are BRILLIANT, INSPIRING pieces. For moi who spent my boyhood in the 50s watching old films from the 30s & 40s, black & white is the way I picture all those great actors both on the screen & in real life...probably something I ingested/inhaled in the 60s. That aside, VERY WELL DONE!
-
Cracking work :-*
cheers

Beautiful brushwork! :-* :-*
-
These are remarkable minis!
-
I was still watching B&W in the seventies, my old man was too tight to get a colour TV ::)
Brilliant stuff, is it difficult to do? 8)
-
... is it difficult to do? 8)
I think it's easier. But it's also a nice exercise in layering and using contrasting values without having to consider a varied color palette.
-
These are even better that I remembered them.
Beautiful work.
-
Here's the Wargames Painting & Modelling article, I had it bookmarked when I first found it ;)

The paint or the figures?
The paint set isn't available just yet (though, each individual color is.)
The figures are from Copplestone Castings' gangsters range: http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=GAN

... And here are some of my Zombicide walkers. I think I'll be doing all the zombies in B&W (despite all my survivors being in color.)

Excellent! :-* :-*
-
Those look great! :-*
I once heard that somebody ran a game (WW2 IIRC) where everything was in B&W. It was meant to be a movie set so there was a film crew invloved and IIRC the heroes were in colour. Can't remember if I saw it in one of the magazines or whether a friend told me about it.
