KKBB minis and other spy goodness (Now with Shaft...)

[Commander Roj]

Honor Blackman looks oddly like Billie Piper! (Never thought I'd find myself saying that)

You are not wrong about the Billie Piper look!

I painted three more agents. The first two are John Shaft, from the Soul Section blister, and the Big Man, from the Evil Genius blister. Both are KKBB selections. The third figure is another Andrew Rae Spy Girl from Chronoscope. I really need to get some minis from Mr. Rae's site.

He's a bad motha-...
Shut yo mouth!
Just talkin bout Shaft.

[Brummie Thug]

Very cool. I love the Soul Section I added Destiny from Hasslefree to the group and the Afro dude from the Copplestone FW Bad Guys in suits to them

Looking good, Mich. I've been tempted to pick up one of those spy girls myself, and now that I've seen yours I may have to finally get around to it. Or maybe I'll just borrow yours for the next game.

That white is amazing! All the painting is top notch but the white is just brilliant! I never seem to get it right. Any pointers?

Shaft is the Man.
Really excellent painting.

Thank you for all the kind comments. I just love these Kiss,Kiss,Bang,Bang miniatures.

Here's my not-so-secret recipe for shading white. I start with a white base. Then I go in with a really watered down shade in either light grey or cream, depending on whether I want a cold tone or a warm tone. (Mr. Big is a bad guy, so he had to have a cold tone in his white suit.) I gradually increase the paint to water ratio as I go back over these spots till I'm happy. If I go too far I go back over the edges of the shadows with a watered down white till the it looks right to me. If any of the shadows end up completely white again I either start from scratch or I leave them white. The button creases didn't look right till I took them back to almost pure white. Sometimes the sculpt is good enough that it doesn't need the help of paint. I hope that helps. (And I hope I don't sound like a pretentious twit.)
