WOW! Beautiful miniatures. Perfect colours and the “white man” has much character.

[Remington]

Thanks fellas! I sure know how to lift my spirits!

The Khaki is based around Vallejo Green Ochre by the way, lightened up with Iraqui Sand and Darkened with German Cam. Medium Brown or by washing it with a watered down Devlan Mud.

By the way, RJ, the Adventurer is painted using your skin tones... I quite like it.

Remington, these looks incredible! Your ability is really enviable. Keep sharing!

As the big hairy man said:

I wouldn't usually make such a fuss over a cow, but I count this as an achievement. On the one hand, this cow kicked my arse back to painting... On the other it is the very first horse-like animal I've ever painted and I do consider this to be a horse painting exercise. I am glad to say that it turned out quite well.



Last time I took some pictures for a friend, he told me, he thought they were darker than usual. At first I thought it was the outside light not playing along, but now I know it was one of my lamps. I've since bought new light bulbs and I must say that they are doing their work quite well.

Lovely work by the way

[Bravo Six]

Very nice! I also have something new for friday...

[cram]

Excellent job on that cow! Really is a stunning paint job. 

[Furt]

Moo - she is quite an achievement!

[Remington]

These did not take as long as the last post might suggest, but I moved really slowly from tiny painting session to minuscule painting session. Still, finally another 4 are done and now only one or two remains for my first T&T group.



So here is the little group so far.



Photos are not that great, but I'd rather post something again than succumb to my I-can't-be-bothered-eness.


Comments are always welcome.

Slow progress is still progress, you have to tell yourself that (that's what I do, anyway). Keep at it if you can, even if it is only in small doses.  We'll not lose you to the can't-be-bothered-ness. I won't have a man left behind. I won't let it happen. Not on my watch... 


Looking really good. I especially like the expression on the bugler's face. And there's nowt wrong with the photos that I can see.

Very nice mate - as always.

Great skin tones, you have got them down no worries.
