Mortal Gods....and an all time first....
« on: March 24, 2020, 01:48:34 PM »
....after many years of drifting from project to project to whatever next caught my eye along came Mortal Gods...two things happened simultaneously...it enabled me to immerse myself in a subject that I knew nothing about plus gave me an excuse to have a go at the Victrix plastics that had caught my eye at Salute....

Roll on a few months and I had become completely fascinated by the history and had achieved an all time first - everything that came in the box is now painted !

Here are the first units....first up the Slingers and the Peltasts

Edit: somehow I posted the Slingers twice but can’t figure out how to get rid of the double

Mod: I removed it. For future reference, click "edit post", then click "attachments and other options" and uncheck the attachment you would like to remove.

Thanks for the kind words chaps, with no work for the foreseeable future they count for a lot

@ 1000ft....my technique? Enjoy the process rather than rush to get finished

@ Hu Rhu....flesh tones ? Hmm....bit of a work in progress as am constantly experimenting but happy to share ...in this case:

 (1) base coat Vallejo Burnt Umber (2) Thinned down Foundry Mediterranean Flesh 125 A (3) Glaze of  Mediterranean Flesh A on all but deepest creases (4) Pock out higher areas with 50/50 glaze of Mediterranean Flesh A & B (5) Wash of P3 Flesh tone (6) Pick out higher areas in Med Flesh B (7) Highlight 50/50 Med Flesh B & C

Here are my unarmored Hoplites from the core box

Always enjoy seeing more Greek hoplites and their hangers-on.
