Silvervane Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) With all this talk in the Painting Tips & Advice Thread of NMM vs TMM I decided to throw my caution to the wind and give my Learn to Paint Kit #5: NMM a go. While I finish the final touches on my bones barkeep and finish painting my bones blacksmith I'm going to start my prep work on my LTPK figures. They need to be cleaned up and primed. I need to read over the instructions a few times as well. So here is a shot of the figures. I'm going to be painting.Should be a challenge I hope to be up for.Edit: for title correction Edited December 17, 2014 by Silvervane 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharsin Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Imma watch this... These two minis hate me as they've been sitting for about a year in a box of foam peanuts mounted on corks. They HATE me... I hear tiny, angry voices every time I open the cork drawer... LOL! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falstius Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've had these two primed for almost a year now waiting to build up the courage to try the kit. Soon! Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 LTPK 3 btw :) Really looking forward to this. I feel kit 4 was where I painted my first decent mini, kit 3 (nmm) is where I really began painting decently on a fairly regular basis and understand what the heck I was doing at least half the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CashWiley Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks, CS. It was a lot of work, but Anne's recipes helped out a ton. It also taught me how to blend better, using more intermediate steps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosscorpion Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I need to sit down and work through all of LTPK's with focus on LTPK 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks, CS. It was a lot of work, but Anne's recipes helped out a ton. It also taught me how to blend better, using more intermediate steps. I've noticed from the instruction there is a lot of color mixing. I need to sit down and work through all of LTPK's with focus on LTPK 3. I feel they've helped me a lot. This is the last one of the original I have to go through. Glad I got them when I did. As they've seemed to go out of production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Beginning my work on this kit. This kit has a lot of paint mixing it. I will endeavor to follow the instructions to the best of my ability. I will start with Anduriel. Tyden has a bit more flash to clean up and is taking a bit longer than I thought it would. Color's included 9070: Mahogany Brown 9035: Olive Green 9057: Ashen Blue 9199: Russet Brown 9037: Pure Black 9039: Pure White 9038: Rainy Grey 9074: Palomino Gold 9110: Oiled Leather Note: No flesh color. The base flesh color is a mix of Palomino : Mahogany : White (4:1:1). So I painted up the eyes and base coated the flesh tonight. Here is a quick cell phone shot of the results. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
