Title: Orctrader paints Monmouth's rebels - Final few...Page 3
Post by: Orctrader on January 25, 2020, 03:12:59 PM

Front Rank Figures, from the Monmouth Rebels packs along with some from others to add variety.  Will be multi-based all at the end.

I’ve finished 14, just started painting the next 16, so it will be a while before any more show up here.

Very well painted Malcolm. I’ve done a few of these myself, a couple of LPLs back... Very nice big chunky figures to paint  :)

Lovely paintwork, that green ‘bobble’ hat looks so real I want to stroke it!
And Monmouth’s force was well equipped with muskets so fortunately you will need to paint more :)

As a veteran of the 300 year anniversary Battle of Sedgemoor I think these mini look splendid.

Fantastic painting.  Looking forward to seeing this come together.  Are you planning to paint the Royalist side too?

No.  Just a few more rebels left than I'm moving onto something else.  Some figures with a lot fewer buttons.   ::)

Painted eyes on your figures...Have you any tips?

Must be "flat".  Front Rank are fine, Copplestone and some others, little protruding ball, I scrape out with a very sharp knife as part of the prep work.

I paint the base flesh first, then the eyes.

Black - the whole socket.

White or off-white horizontal line - leaving black"outer"

Black dot or vertical line middle of the white.

Tidy up as required.

Paint the rest of the flesh on the face.

Not many more to do.  No rules in mind as I only paint.  These will be gamed with, I'm very happy to say, but by someone else.   ::)
