What I painted in October (2008)

[JollyBob]

Absolutely stunning, OT, great work!

Stunning brushwork Orc Trader, especially on the Napoleonic chap.

[Hammers]

Orctrader is another obstacle to the top whom I need to kill, I fear. 
 Lovely WWI officer.

Orctraders stuff is lovely,

and I find myself trying to get my mini style like his because I like it,

trouble is I fail miserably 

I'm not stalking him or anything just like his painting

Oh go in stalk him, I am curious to see how it would play out

I would just change my name.  Traderorc, or something like that.  So no one would ever guess...

Redcarrot; Recordrat; or Retrocard are all possible, if he rumbles Traderorc.

Actually, why do all of the anagrams I saw start with R?  Probably tells me something about my psyche, or summut.

Peeker.

 I like Redcarrot the best.

He's my cousin.  (We don't talk about him much.  )

Difficult one.  On this figure I used Vallejo Panzer Aces Colours on just about everything apart from the leather.  If you are not familiar with these they come in "Driads."  A base and a highlight which you are meant to mix together for the mid tone.  The Jacket was certainly 317 British Tanker & 321 Highlights British tanker from Set #3  But as I bought a few of the set numbers I tend to just mix and match as I go.  And that was how I did the pants.  IIRC it was the "US Tanker" driad, but I used a lot more of the highlight.

Sorry I can't be more precise, but I usually only make notes if I know I am going to be painting several figures the same paint scheme.  With single figures, like this one, I mix colours - on a wet palette - as I go.

Cheers for that, i will have to look at the panzer aces range.

I tend not to write stuff down either

Thanks again

Oooohhhh, I like those!!! The greenish hue makes them look like they've been lying around in some old caves/cellars for ages before being stirred to action.
