Author Topic: Blue's Meandering Painting Plog Update May 27th (Read 13375 times)

Hi all,

I seem to be in a phase of hobby right now that is focused on painting a fairly random assortment of figures...a little bit of commission work...some favors I'm doing for others...filling out a unit here or finishing one there. So as to not Bog down this forum with an individual thread for each of these small "projects" I've decided to start a general hobby thread thru which I can bore you with my ramblings....

Anyhoo...here is the first thing that I recently finished up. The John Pickford sculpt known as "Johann"

This is the second time I have painted this figure and I enjoyed it all over again...particularly the shield which is one of my favorite aspects of this figure.

Anyway...here is the pic ...more babbling can be found on the blog in my sig.

Cheers,

Blue

That is a FANTASTIC creation, Blue! The brushwork exceeds even your OH-SO-HIGH standards, & the base is LOVELY, but, for moi, it's your bold color choices that make the mini. AND the shield is a thing of beauty WONDROUS to behold. INCREDIBLY WELL DONE!

that looks great, I really love the shield, that's the guy with the optional beard right? I wasn't sure what to do with mine but I was leaning to with beard but seeing it without beard looking so good I don't know

Wow just saw your personal copy on your blog, loving that conversion

Have always thought he looks better with the beard, but it's a shame covering up that face, but your solution is just brilliant, not sure if I'm brave enough to try it myself but I really love what you did

Thanks! As you mentioned it was a touch decision to make...my compromise was to have a beard but to make it look like hair for the breast plate as well. Don't be intimidated to try something similar...I'm a total noob with Green stuff and I managed to fake it. I'm sure you could too.

Thanks all!
