Battle of Frogonia!

[Christian]

Well, here we are: a new project, and a new blog:

http://battle-of-frogonia.blogspot.com/

I suppose you'll want a bit of a teaser...



It's a team effort between Painting Princess and I, after our run in with the lovely chaps at Eureka! More soon...

[Mancha]

Fun project.  I've done a few of these guys too.

Great project!

Great painting and concept! I want to buy some of those guys and paint them for my niece

Keep posting pics

They're a set for girls :-)

There's a great set with a king on a litter; he's wearing a crown and has an attendant holding a leaf over his head (painted pics coming soon) that might be good for your  niece, Damien :-)

Thanks Painting Princess I didn't see that one when I went to the Eureka site. Its really nice, I think my niece would love that  

EDIT: Painting Princess, I just checked out your blog, cool projects! Let us know when you update your blog.


Christian, I forgot to ask but how are you going to do the bases?

[Painting Princess]

You're welcome 

I'll put up a post about my blog when I've done some more work on my projects!

Great project!

Lovely paintjob, and I look forward to seeing what else you get up to.

I love the miniatures.

I have quite a few of these painted up myself. They are great minis aren't they - I like how you've "pirate-ized" them. Very cool.

Cheers,
Ben.

Thanks for the interest guys!

More pics have been slow on coming; we've been basing frogs, so not much more painting or sculpting at the moment.

But you can check out our progress at http://battle-of-frogonia.blogspot.com/

I've also posted my first attempt at sculpting on my blog http://painting-princess.blogspot.com/ comments welcome 

For anyone interested in the minis, the guys at Eureka have a whole bunch of different warrior frogs and turtles (http://eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_191&sort=3a) and also some funny little mice (http://eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_783&sort=3a) which I think go great with the frogs!

I like your first attempts at sculpting, correct me if I am wrong but from the pics it looks like you are trying to sculpt folds; they look good.

The froggy minis are just so cool, really like the hex bases, its little differences like that, that makes them stand out.

Cheers

And rocking those hex bases!

Very cool.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Thanks Damien :-) Yep, I'm trying to make it look like the clothes are moving along with the movement of the body.

And rocking those hex bases!

Very cool.

The hex bases give the minis an entirely different look to the round ones. Amazing how much difference a base makes!

Great minis and lovely paint jobs - on a completely different tasngent - although inspired by your blog - personally, when in more whimsical frames of mind,  I've always hankered after a set of woodland animals dressed in Edwardian garb brandishing cudgels and pistols so I could game the more exciting episodes from The  Wind in the Willows!

War of the Willows.  Like it.
