40 Figures in Four Days!
« on: June 08, 2014, 02:43:25 PM »
All,
     Here is the chronology - 
Received package from Pulp Figures on Wednesday 6/4 at 3:30pm
Cleaned, based and primed figures by 6:00pm
Painted basic flesh coat and wash Wednesday evening. Thursday through Saturday - Painted and varnished 40 figures and terrained bases. Also, inspired by Tufoo's altar, I built and             finished one using the craft blocks I got at AC Moore.  The figures on larger bases are ones that could double as Pulp Alley "Plot Points".

Here is a link to the Flickr Photos - https://www.flickr.com/photos/92816988@N08/

     Note - It does help to be retired.  :)

Holy Christmas Biscuits. That's more figures than I painted in three months, let alone three days.  ;D

Tufoo,
         How did you get that moss effect on the bricks?  I'm an early riser, and generally paint between 4 - 6 hours straight.

4 - 6 hours! I'm lucky if I can get half an hour over the whole evening and that's on a good day.

I put some white glue mixed with water between the stones with an old fine brush. Then I sprinkle Woodland-scenic "fine turf". After some few seconds, blow up the excess of moss.
