A Victrix Retreat from Moscow
« on: September 06, 2013, 02:18:00 PM »
A project thats been on the back burner for a while.  Lots of Victrix scrap with Perry parts.  Lots of Green Stuff for the blankets.  I wanted to get a feel of cold and wind in them, animation was the aim.  24 figure set

Individually based, I ummed and arred over the basing, 'Snow' or what.  Used a paste mix to show well trodden snow and slush.

I hope they look sufficiently cold, wind swept, hungry and defeated.

Hard to get colour and cold dirty desolation all in 1 go

Some very nice figures there, my favourite has to be the drummer with his hand up to protect his face from the biting wind, a very natural pose.

BRRRR!!  >:(  >:(  >:(

These look amazing. Well done. :-*

I find it hard enough just to paint a unit, let alone worry about the elements and conditions the poor sods are facing.
