SaintRigger Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hey - I painted these a year or two ago, and I just rediscovered I had pictures of them. They were a quick 2-3 hours in the even job for a friend of mine, but they were kinda cute. It is just a tabletop job, but he adores them - which makes me happy. I'd love to get my hands on another set to see how much my painting (d)evolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versutus Vulpes Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Nice. Very nice actually. Very clean and well painted minis - look great on a gaming table without 'chewing the scenery' to borrow a term from acting... Nice hits of colour... yep - these are great.... Now post more .

tanker22 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Very nice looking, like your colors with them as well. Excellent job for a quick paint group of table top minis. Can see why your friend likes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniWargamer Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Are they 28s or 15s? And do you know the manufacturer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRigger Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Are they 28s or 15s? And do you know the manufacturer? They are around 25mm. They look like they are on ponies next to 28s and heroic 28s (32s) I think they are made by Curteys. They may be Steve Barber though, I don't know.. I was give a pack of dudes to paint. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatula Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Well done...Would you explain the basing process? Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRigger Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yes - it is really simple, if I can borrow a camera from someone, I'll make a quick tutorial. Essentially I base the miniatures on thin plywood (.8 mm). Actually, I think these might be the bases from warmaster, so they are plastic and a bit thicker. I then add some sand with white glue. Once this is try, I give it another coat with really thinned down white glue (the consistancy of milk - you can also buy a bottle of it from woodland scenics if you are wicked lazy like I am). What this will do is lock the sand into place so it doesn't peal up when you are playing with it. Then I spray primed the whole model black, which made the sand black. I painted the figure, and then I drybrushed the sand with GW's scorched brown, Graveyard Earth and Kommando Khaki. For the bigger chunks, I gvae them a light dusting of ivory to make the rocks "pop" and then aded static grass. (Put down a blot of glue, take a pinch of static grass and dab it into the glue) It is a really super simple and quick process which makes a decent enough looking base.

matsumoto Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 basing style also known as : standard historical basing. thanks for posting the technique, saint!
