Cruse plaid! Painting my IHMN's factions.
« on: July 15, 2013, 02:14:01 AM »
I've been working on my factions and I gotta say, I love painting them up. Here are some of Lord Curr's guys

One of the Incorrigibles


Another Incorrigible


All of the Incorrigibles will have tattoos of some sort.


I've got the Constables from the Scotland Yard set on my table now as I finally found the rest of Lord Curr's guys. I should have some pictures of them in the next day or two.

Well done sir!

It is odd, but many people think that all Victorians wore black and grey. In fact some of their clothing was remarkably garish. We were at the heart of the world's textiles industry at the time, and even a fairly lowly chap had check and plaid clothing.

Thanks Craig! I'll keep that inmind when I work on the rest.

I remember going to the local Dicken's Fair. Think Ren Fair in a large hanger with mock 1850's/60's/70's London storefronts and all sorts of people walking about in costume. Its always fun to watch the loud clothing they are wearing and thinking "Was it really this way back then?"

Thats a very good point I think its down to photography at the time being black and white so everything does kind of look dull.

Great job on these so far, like the tattoo idea may have to borrow that.
