Title: Redoubt FIW Civilians (Update 15/12/16)
Post by: Jeff965 on February 16, 2016, 04:05:36 PM: This is the start of a 13 figure unit, plain civilian clothing ( makes a change from all that dark green of the Rangers lol). Once again I'll update the thread as I go along, and hopefully some photos when they are fully based.

Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians
Post by: Captain Blood on February 16, 2016, 05:49:19 PM: Gradely Jeff.

I have several of these in my F&IW collection. Nice figures.

Great job...

I think they mix in OK, the size of the miniature is not something I fret about quite honestly. As a species we are all different shapes and sizes, when you see them all on the table with some nice terrain it's the overall picture that does it for me. Anyway here they are mixed together for you to draw your own conclusions.

Just check if there is a shifty looking Postie amongst them while you are at it, eh?

Are they a commission or for yourself?
Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians
Post by: Jeff965 on February 17, 2016, 01:50:28 PM: They are for HuRhu Colin, might get to see them at BLAM Gary?
Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians
Post by: Marine0846 on February 17, 2016, 08:29:58 PM: Fine painting.
Love to colors you have used.
It looks like the two ranges match well together.

They are from one of the packs without photos on the Redoubt website. It also includes two women loading muskets, really brings out the desperate settlers defending their home feeling.

Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians
Post by: Hu Rhu on February 23, 2016, 10:08:21 AM: Looking fantastic. can't wait to get my hands on these.
Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians
Post by: WillieB on February 23, 2016, 11:00:23 AM: Redoubt has some real gems in their ranges. And they match up perfectly with those from that other fantastic range, Galloping Major.
But of course as always it takes a great painter like Jeff to bring out the best in them!
Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians
Post by: Jeff965 on February 23, 2016, 10:04:02 PM: Thank you for taking the time to comment, some nice sculpts amongst these figures. Now on to some big guns :)
Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians
Post by: Hu Rhu on March 06, 2016, 12:35:11 PM: I promised Jeff that I would post some pictures of the figures once they were based. Here they are in action.

I think Jeff did an amazing job on the painting. Sadly my photographic skills are not up to his standard (a bit like my painting :D)

Post by: Sterling Moose on March 06, 2016, 02:05:13 PM: Great job!!

In the age of the internet it always baffles me that some manufacturers don't have a pic on their website of pack contents the moment it is released. These days it is often a case a no pic, no sale. It is unusual for a consumer to buy anything sight unseen.

The loading pack is now on my shopping list.

Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians

Thanks. I wanted to get all the figures based the same way so that the collection looks homogenous, even though there are two different manufacturors and two different painters.
Title: Re: Redoubt FIW Civilians
Post by: Jeff965 on October 31, 2016, 01:11:01 PM: Another eight of these some of them duplicates, this time for DrDeath who will do the basing.

My personal favourite is the woman in yeller.
That shading is great!

(Those female civvies would work well in the Old West too, farmers wives equipped with old weapons. Are they Redoubt or GM?)

Three stages Andy, first off a 60/40 mix of white and GW Dawnstone, then Coat de Armes horse tone light grey and then final highlight of white.

Photographing a whole range of figures must involve a lot of work, a good idea I see with a lot of manufacturers now is to have a customer gallery which has to be the next best thing.
