The Pint.

[JollyBob]

I don't know how you do it. I too have saved those pages from WWS into my "must emulate or kill the artist" file. s'Wonderful.

Also, that's a post-battle pint. I've been taking medieval combat lessons and I recognise the look on his face.

Very nicely painted

Stunning Captain. Stunning 
I'd like to know how do you obtain such a bright colour on your models.

Richard I cannot think of a more talented painter - simply superb, I just cannot get over the detail in those faces for one thing

As I said over on SD,cracking work!!!

[Captain Blood]

Thanks chaps

Thanks Kerry, that's very kind of you. Actually, i can think of several, but i'm happy to be able to hold my own with most of them 

I'd like to know how do you obtain such a bright colour on your models. 

Well i think it's a combination of using bold, brightly coloured paint (which i do), photographing the figures under a very bright light, which enhances the colours, and then auto-adjusting the exposure and balance in the photo software, which tends to boost the brightness still further. So the figures are certainly not quite as vibrant as this 'in the flesh '. There again, the figures in real life are also much tinier than you see them here on screen, so one is never really seeing a true to life representation of the figures...

thanks! I'm a newbie in taking pics and, as often said here on LAF, this is an important part of "sharing" the hobby, so I'm happy to learn
Your method is really effective and I'd like to obtain a similar result.

I keep for getting to ask, so I'd better take the opportunity now that I think of it.  What do you use for flowers on your bases?

[Captain Blood]

They are Silflor flowers. They come in a variety of shapes and colours. Antenociti's Workshop stock them in the UK, although i think they're a German product aimed at Railway modellers. You can buy them in small packets for 3 or 4 pounds GBP. A packet lasts a long time and willserve for a lot of figures!
