Test paint for LPL
« on: February 09, 2011, 08:15:25 PM »
Here we have a test figure that I painted for LPL using a new varnish and lighting.
 


Quite pleased with the result  :) Might get some different backgrounds for the LPL though

I'll get to use him at some point in a game  ;D

cheers

That's really great, but why are you showing it to us?  :o If we've seen all or a portion of your entry previously, you don't get the bonus points.

It look fantastic. Who make the figure?
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

Thanks chaps  :)

Questions in order of asking...

It's a test figure as I'm trying out a slightly different way of painting and using a different varnish with slightly different lighting to go with it  :) He won't be in the LPL but will be part of a larger group of figures, some of which will be in the LPL.

The varnish is 'Humbrol model & craft hobby spray varnish' It's for acrylics, is 150ml and is about £5 a pop but certainly worth it.

I honestly can't remember who made the figure but I think I got it from Partizan some years ago (maybe the free figure on the door).

cheers

Splendid paint job, how does it differ from your usual way of painting?

Foundry Prussian Blue mid and light shades followed by Foundry Bavarian Cornflower Blue shade and I think I'm going to use it for the rest of my Japanese on Mars as it's quite pleasing  :)
