Little Big 15/18 mm Wild West (28.12.2014)

[pahvivalmiste]

Hello!

I recently started a Wild West project (RPG-related, maybe some skirmish games later). I chose 15/18 mm scale as I've not worked with it before and wanted to experiment with something new. Blue Moon manufacturing seemed to have a good and relatively cheap range and I went with them - the other option for me would have been Peter Pig. I also ordered some QRF models, but they're really small compared to BM.

Here are the first three figures completed:

Nice work.
Great colour choices.
I particularly like the fella in green.
 


And: Welcome aboard!

Very nicely painted!  I use my 28mm for both Deadlands and skirmishes.

Hello Pahvivalmiste,

I really liked what you have done with the colours, nicely painted job well done mate,
and just a heads up in case you haven't figured it out yet, don't bother
with Peter Pig wild west stuff as they are really small in comparison,
they are true fifteens where as blue moon are more like eighteens,
hope that helps,

Yehawwwww!

Thanks for the comments

Great colour choices. I particularly like the fella in green.

I've planned to use distinguishing colours as the models are rather small. Not necessarily the most realistic way, but there's technicolour legacy and all that. I had an Irish leprechaun in mind with the green guy

Thanks for the tip about Peter Pig - I really liked their characters packs but opted for Blue Moon in the end.

I looked at some of the stuff behind the link, that was inspirational. It's really nice work. I've had trouble finding pictures of painted Blue Moon so this helped a lot. Thanks!

"Yehawwww!"

Had a little spare time (lighting is bad, apologies):

Looks really great. I want to do some of these figs myself but I doubt they will be as good.

Pahvivalmiste,
That looks really good man, colours are just like in the movie, you gotta have the man with no name Hehehe

Thanks for the compliments

Here's the next one:



It feels like I can get things done, but these are so small that they don't require that much time.

I think I'll start painting the figures or at least some colours in groups from now on. Saves both paint and time.

I cannot believe that you are painting so much detail into such small figures.
Brave, sir!

THIS is truly quality painting!!!

 Pahvivalmiste,
Very nice indeed, good facial detail, looks like your on a roll, keep up the good work.

I have some I painted about 4 months ago but have never posted them online, might see if i can get them up for you   

Keep the pics coming man.
