What I painted in November (2008)

[JollyBob]

JB - can you not drill out the gun and add a wire barrell on the SOE adventurer??

It snapped along the top of her hand, just below the cylinder of the revolver. The whole thing just snapped clean off. It is a very fine casting and just bent under light pressure from a file as I was cleaning it up.

I was going to buy a pack of Webleys from BAM to replace it as they are a bit chunkier.


Meninobesta, Dinsdale is awesome, very well done, chap!

Some lovely work there.

Quite fruitful for me - but no photos.  Apart from the Artizan Spartan which I have already shown.

Moriarty and four thugs.  Not based yet.  Might actually hold them back for the next LPL.  Probably call them "Moriarty Makes His Move." 

Oonagh and Valentina from "Newbold"

BAM Gestapo man.

HF "Rose."

Artizan KKBB "The Avengers"

Photos will, eventaully, follow.

Dinsdale is superb - that would have taken me all month on its own.

thanks!  but it only took a full afternoon! it's a foundry model, and it was very fun to paint! I started with dark brown + black wash on top of it and then block-painted lighter colours until the whole miniature was in yellowish dark sand tone! in this step I was somewhat frustrated because the giraffe looked like a starving lion, due to the effect of the shades that were too strong! Nevertheless I kept with my plan!
After that I painted dark brown "spots" and then on top of it I've painted lighter brown tones just to leave the edge more strong (colour-wise)!
Overall I never used no extraordinary techniques with this mini!

Many thanks! It really boosts my ego to receive that kind of comments from you Laffers!

Well, in that case, I think you can boost your ego a little more because I too find that D. look really good! 

[white knight]

Wow. Normally I'm the one to kick this off early, but not this time. Hoping to add a few more this weekend, so expect me to post Sunday night or on Monday morning.

And a little more again. It looks great.

Wow JB. They're great.

Er...

What are they for? 

( The piggy with the garden rake is my particular favourite  )

[Svennn]

Er...

What are they for?

Capt. Liang Shang Po 2nd. Regiment of Foot - what else?

They are very nice JB - worth braving the cold of the attic for

[JollyBob]

Captain, what do you mean, "what are they for"? They are for having. And looking at. Honestly, call yourself a LAFer! 

Did you not watch Monkey when you were a kid then?

Actually, they are for a Chinese adap of Mordheim that I am mulling around, hopefully for inclusion in next year's BLAM! programme.

Lots of Kung-fu skills, hopping vampires, and badly dubbed action.

(Oh, and Pigsy is my favourite too, as it happens. And it's a muck-rake. Eeew, imagine being hit with that!)

Cheers for the comments, by the way, Svennn too.

One of my favourite animals and very nicely painted. Thankyou and this is what i'd like to achieve for my animals too.
Ahem, could I please ask you about painting tips for giraffes. I use Vallejo paints.

Sorry Rob. I missed out on Monkey completely.

I used to watch 'The Water Margin' though. (God - I can still hum the bloody theme tune... )

But of course your new toys are for having and looking at. I understand that fatal impulse all too well 

Just questioning the martial utility of a pig with a lawn rake...

Me too, remember it very well

And the piggy with the rake? Very dangerous I should say..
 "Monkey I'm hungry?!"
" shut up Piggsy!"

This is my first ever what I painted in...
Below is a picture of what I finished painting in November for my pulp game. Painted some small bits and pieces of scenery for my board as well, crates, shelfs and street furniture. No decent picture yet.

Lovely vehicles, Mac, especially the gestapo car.
