Another busy month for me here, this time I ran out of space on the "What I Painted This Month" shelf. :)

SciFi Troops, the bodies are from Pig Iron and the heads from West Wind. Some of the accessories,
including parts of the sniper rifle are from Games Workshop.

A repainted Land Speeder, I also cropped out Luke and Obi-Wan as it now belongs to a different set of
rebels.

A 40K Tank Commander, based on parts from the Warseer Female Guard project and parts of various Games
Workshop kits. Sadly I can't afford a tank to put her in yet.

(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/nam-vc-squad-1.jpg)(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/nam-vc-command-1.jpg)
The VC so far.

A pair of US Army Hueys.

(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/scenery-jungle-2.jpg)(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/scenery-jungle-3.jpg)
And finally, 20 stands of jungle scenery. All based on old CDs.
How did everyone else get on last month?
-
Quick off the mark this month, mate! And some lovely stuff there, I think I have some of those Nam grunts somewhere from years ago. Were they made by Esci/Italeri a few years back?
My output has been very poor this month. Two scientists, a dinosaur and a Napoleonic dragoon for my Dad's birthday. I'll stick some pictures up later if I remember. Been concentrating on conversions for a new project instead.

Yes indeed, all the Nam stuff is Italeri 1:72 based on pennies. All fairly cheap too, both Hueys, 50 Americans and 50 VC came to less than £20.

Pics still crap and leaving out most or all of the highlights, but...
Left to right:
Heroclix Hellbaby - BAM Rock - Artizan Big Joe - Superfigs Golem - Rattrap Sgt. Steve Grant (with steel fist) - Heroclix sprite

And since I don't want to let you wait another week until I can finish the base, here are some pics of the first MaK repaint I did as a test piece for the rest of them (using Pappa Midnight's weathering tips, which of course you can't see well in the pictures... ::)):

Strictly speaking I actually did these in june, but never posted to the june thread, so hope you don't mind a late entry! ::)
-
Oh, I like the Hacienda, very impressive. :-*
Here's the pics of my meagre output as promised.

I'm absolutely bricking it about the dragoon. Its a present for my dad's birthday next week, and I'm not sure I've done it right. It's as close as I could get from pictures I could find, but if its even the slightest bit wrong, he'll know. And I'll know he'll know. :(
The base is a bit funny as it's to go in one of those plastic display cases, and has a lip all round it. Not entirely succesfully hidden.
-
Sir Jolly Bob, I love that scientist. His greying hair and pipe remind me of the stereotypical scientist from the 50's B movies. Beautiful stuff. :)
Sorry can't comment on the dragoon, he looks ok to me. ;)
-
Cheers. :D
WK, I meant to ask before, are those figs in the top pic (the ones with Hellbaby) all for the same squad in a game? They look great together, proper pulp.

Well, not originally. But I was just looking at the picture and thinking the same thing.
Although the girl on the far right is supposed to be a British operative (hence the english uniform colours).

WOW Revford. I thought I had managed to get alot done but my efforts pale against the amount you have managed to churn out.
My July was very productive as I had a game planned and no figures painted for it. I always seem to get more done when I have a deadline.
So this is what i got done.

Blimey Rabbitz, thats quite an achievement for one months work. I saw the game and it looked fabulous :)
-
The boy Rabbitz must multiply like his namesake to get all that work done... :o
Love the clank officer's moustache, that's genius.
-
Wow what an output, my Mojo has left me with very little painting going on over the last 3 months. I blame it on 7 Hasslefree Ogres I have on the go, I cant do them justice :'(
-
A bit late I know, but I just got the piccies taken tonight.
First 4 Bronze Age Red Men for an ongoing commission project. Most of these will be used in a game at Recruits Convention next month.

Next some hunters for my Recruits game. 4 Foundry, 3 Copplestone and a Pulp:

Wow, nice. I like the pale yellow coat. My favorite is the first guy on the third picture.

Lovely, just lovely work, I can't wait to see the dinosaur hunt, I know folks will oooh and aaaah.

:-* :o o_o
I don't usually chime in with the "me too" on compliments, but I think those paint jobs are astonishingly good... downright breathtaking. The subtle shading of the greens and browns is top class. The shading of purples and teals and red skin on the Martian figures is WOW inducing.
Are you using layered painting, washes, blending, or what techniques?
-
Nice, great glass effect on the doc. 8)
-
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Warrenbruhn, I primarily used a layering technique on these. I base coat with the shadow color and highlight up from there until I'm satisfied. The only parts that had washes were blacks and leather bits. I make sure my highlight paint is thinned very well to try to make the layers blend as smoothly as possible.
-
very awesome work!
I think they are all wonderful and awesome miniatures!
-
very nice !
thanks for sharing!
