Copplestone Naval Officers
« on: June 24, 2012, 03:38:49 PM »
Hiya lads,

My painting mojo had gone walkabout for the past month but it came back with a vengeance this morning and I managed to complete four naval officers, a standard bearer and a scout for my naval landing parties for Darkest Africa.

Here they are:



The standard bearer is missing his flag. A top lad from the WD3 forum made a lovely flag for me and I am going to print it and stick it on tomorrow.

Well done! Love the smooth effect you achieved on the uniforms.

What about some close ups?

Gorgeous  :-* :-* :-*  Tell me you had started them before this morning.  I vaguely remember being able to paint that quickly but alas no more :'(

Sweet.
Look forward to seeing how you do the bases.
Then close ups, please.

No no I had started them last month mate! I was just a bit down generally and not in a mood to paint so they languished unloved on the workbench. All I did this morning was finish them.

Ok closeups:



Thank you for the kind words all.

That's some very nice work there!

Where did you get the fellow with the very long beard? I don't remember him being in the Copplestone naval officer pack. Is he a Pulp Captains Courageous?

He's a Foundry civvy from their Darkest Africa range mate. Lots of character in that mini.

Very well done, compatriot! :) Beautiful work!  :-*

Have I asked you about the varnish you use? The effect is great.

By the way, that flag is spectacular. Hope you don't mind if I nick it as well. :D Does this guy do commission work or did he make this out of the kindness of his heart? :)
