Wow! I actually wasn't sure whether to buy this set or not, as the quality of the images I've seen so far hasn't been great - this has changed my mind. I only hope I can do half as good a job!
Title: Re: Gentlemen's Club WIP
Post by: Big Frank on August 18, 2012, 05:25:39 PM
Amazing paint jobs, you really bring the mini's to life, the highlights and shading are fantastic.
Looking forward tto seeing the rest of the faction.

Stunning work there!  :-*

You'll have to do a "group shot" with some good light for us please! I'll certainly be using your figures here as a guide for when I paint mine.  ;)

Last one of the set done. Four are based now and I just need to cut out some more base tops for the other four.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/sturmhalo/DSCN5006.jpg)


Just Lady Luck and Cedric Hyde to do now.

Shame these have to go back to the client, but at least I'll be able to pay my electric bill.  lol

When I first read the subject of the thread I thought of such miniatures (http://www.knuckleduster.com/store/cart.php?target=product&product_id=350&category_id=49):

(http://www.knuckleduster.com/store/images/pi_350.jpeg)

Clearly, I don't know what a "gentleman" is  :D



Btw, her hat turned into a tricorne, 'Lady Luck' would be a marvelous  Lacepulp / Lacepunk (http://www.drunkendragoonproductions.com/18thcentimagi-nation/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=81) female hero

Like I've already said, I really wish I had some nice terrain to photograph them against instead of that same old dumb blue background, but hey ho....

I'm sure the terrain would be amazing in its own right but the blue background lets us just revel in the minis and your spectacular painting of them.  Wonderful stuff.  Inspiring and intimidating at once.  Please continue to share and many thanks for doing so.
