Back of Beyond Painting Club

Great additions - and a reminder for me to get back to the mini I started a while a go, but had to pause due to a convention project for Horisont VIII which is now in the past.

[Dr Mathias]

Thanks all, the princess is one of my all time favorite Copplestone miniatures.

The princess is lovely but I really like the stupa!

Thanks, I made it just for this
I based it off the following picture- I didn't do a very good job conforming to the established conventions. I'll probably make more and do them correctly.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Fantastic paintwork and picture, Matt 

[Vagabond]

Dr M - the face and skin colour on your princess is amazingly good, if I could achieve results half as good as this I would be a happy man.
Take care

No.65 (Ironclad Miniatures) Chinese Warlord

The inscrutable Yu Lon Chi the head man of the White Hyacinth Tong based in Ürümqi - capital of Xinjiang Province in North West China, pictured here in the Tianshan Mountains 1926.



Urumqi was ruled by the warlord Yang Zengxin from 1911 to 1928, it was a wild and dangerous place. It grew to prominence due to its position on the Silk Road and every bandit, con man, bully boy, and lowlife was attracted by its easy money and fast living.
 
The White Hyacinth Tong were the top of the pile, they say scum rises. They were bad men and none badder than Yu, he ran protection and prostitution in the downtown area, and also the cities most influencial bank in the uptown area, he had fingers in many pies.
 
The Tong could easily be recognised by the White Hyacinth embroidered on their clothing. Recognised and then avoided - unless they came up behind you, in which case you were normally washed up on the banks of the Urumqi River or left to rot in some remote corner of the Tianshan Mountains.

Splendid 
The club ticks slowly onwards...

[Dr Mathias]

Nice work on the Warlord, I enjoyed the backstory.

I hadn't thought of doing any Chinese Tong types for this club for some reason. I have quite a few stashed away...

I really like that!

I have painted up three of this mini and I think they turned out alright.  Yours, however... wow.

#66 - The Dragon Lady

Bob Murch, Pulp Figures



Edit 2:

Corrected the lipstick as well as I dared at the risk of ruining the mouth.

[Helen]

Nice work on the Dragon Lady.

[Argonor]

Nice work on the Dragon Lady.

Thanks - maybe a bit too simplistic, but I did not have the guts to try my luck at some freehand decorations/musters.

I just noticed that there's something not quite right about her right cheek, but any correction will have to wait - I have some seasonal minis to attend to.

[Dr Mathias]

I don't think she needs freehand detail, and the green ties it all together. The jade pendant is a nice touch.

[FramFramson]

I see we're still chugging away here. That princess is the business, Mathias!

I'll see if can do a couple to get me back to painting and pitch in to help move this one along. Got a couple of fun ideas...
