Felicia "Under Construction".

Felicia "Under Construction"!

The last post included a couple of pix of "Felicia" (steampunk gunslinger) in grey primer and the mention that I would post an update during the painting process.

Well, the prime base colours were done using Vallejo's acrylics, the "Air" versions, designed primarily for air-brushing. However, they work beautifully when brushed on in thin layers.
Once they had dried for several days I cleaned the figure with kitchen detergent and then proceeded to apply the finishing coats in artists oils - a mix of Winsor & Newton and Reeves, which I've had for years.

So today I can present the following photos, taken last night, and also posed in the same positions as the grey undercoat shots so that you can compare the changes. If you click on them they will open with a much larger image.




Once I've finished Felicia I'll post another update. In the meantime there is much fine detail to be completed....very fiddly!

Eowyn - Starting the finishing painting.

A couple of miniature miniatures!

A couple of miniature miniatures! Whilst Felicia is still to be completed - detail work remains to be done and the oil paint has to dry properly before that can be attempted - I have been working on a couple of smaller figures, in 1/35th. scale. They are tiny! 😀 Produced by Korean companies - Tori Factory and Nuts Planet . The moulding is exquisite....so fine, yet these are resin castings, not 3-D printed. I've completed one figure (Isadora, by Tori Factory) and have mounted it on a 20c piece. She was done in Vallejo "Model Air" acrylic paints - brushed on, not airbrushed. The second figure, called "Scouter", is by Nuts Planet. and is in the final stages of detailing. She is posed on a larger base because there will be another figure accompanying her, to be started after "Scouter" is finished. That's "Scouter" in the foreground, temporarily assembled and ready to be washed and then primed. These two photos show the figure mo...
