The Nefarious Schemes of One Fram Framson (update 6/2 - Awooga)

[FramFramson]

Whoof, high praise indeed. Thanks!

[FramFramson]

Ugh, it's been way too long since I updated this.

These were painted weeks ago (the first gang was rushed through for our first game). I just finally finished varnishing and basing them.

First the scenario filler Russians.



And some spirit animals to be summoned by the Bogatyrs. My crude attempts at a wolf, Eurasian brown bear, and golden eagle. I know the tail shape is not right for a golden eagle, but I had to use the figure I had.

This is looking really good. Lovely painting. Looking forward to seeing your next game, really enjoyed the last one.

ALL Superb leagues 
I love your charismatic style. 
If only we were neighbours, imagine how delicious campaigns could play our leagues 

[Metternich]

What a wonderful world you're building.  I'm so jealous.

[War In 15MM]

This is great stuff!  Absolutely wonderful.  Richard

Word.

I just discovered your FANTASTIC thread with all your WONDERFUL creations. You really have some SPLENDIDLY painted & based, HIGHLY IMAGINATIVE & VERY CREATIVE pieces. TERRIFICALLY WELL DONE!

[Mason]

Stunning!
 

[FramFramson]

Wow, so many comments!

Thanks loads, to all of you.  

I'd be happy to play with any of you were we nearby!

EDIT:

I was trying Vallejo's Matte Acrylic varnish for this bunch. It seems to be a little more matte than the Windsor & Newton regular, but there were also noticeable issues with frosting in spots. I mostly fixed it with the second application, but I guess the W&N is ever so slightly better, even if I do have to do three coats. They might be very nearly the same.

Still, it's not ideal. I *REALLY* want to try the W&N Galleria Matte (which is apparently a different, slightly better acrylic matte varnish). I found a place I can get Testor's Dullcote and the correct thinner for it, but I'm holding off to see if I can find the W&N Galleria first.

Right now, I'm able to use all acrylic without resort to enamels (an important concern given our abysmal ventilation here), so I'm really hoping I can find something good for this very last step.

What a fabulous group of pulpies!!

[d phipps]

Outstanding work, FF! 

I can't wait to see what you have planned for these figures. 



HAVE FUN

[FramFramson]

Haha, wait 'till you see. I still have to paint several figures for our next game.

I've been a good boy though - been working on our terrain mat!

[FramFramson]

I can't wait until I get some more urban terrain going, though that's farther away. Then we can go from the wilds of Russia to the streets of Paris... or perhaps...
