Hayzel Completed.

 

This figurine was a pleasure to assemble and paint and when completing the job I decided to give her a "wound"....she has scratched her shin, as can be seen in the photo above.
Nothing serious and she'll get around to applying a band-aid from the first-aid kit strapped to her right leg.

The detailing on Hayzel is very fine......I discovered that the first-aid pouches even include zippers!

Another miniature has been ordered and this time it's another 1/12 scale item (same size as Felicia - featured in an earlier post) and is a representation of Eowyn, from Lord of the Rings.
Her assembly and painting will be featured here.

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....ver...

Nuts Planet - Heavy Gunner.

Nuts Planet "Advance Guard Heavy Gunner" Certainly a change from what I've done up to this point, this threatening figure is in 1/24th scale and, once again, the casting work is very finely detailed. I have a feeling that these figurines are actually 3D-printed because the same figure can appear in other scales. This one is also available is 1/35th scale and that would be impossible if done using a conventional mould & casting method. The kit comes with most of it in one casting and then there are several separate items to be added, including the impressive multi-barrel chain gun and ammunition feed. There was negligible flash and casting seams to be cleaned up and after a trial assembly I primed the pieces with grey automotive lacquer, let them dry and harden for a day and then undercoated with a wash of Vallejo "Air" black. This gave a good metallic appearance and provided a base on which I then started to detail with washes of dark m...

Eowyn - Starting the finishing painting.

Image
  It's early days yet, but I have started doing the finishing painting and I'm using oils. Today the first touches were applied to her hair and also the start of her face and neck....the only bare skin on the whole figure. She now has at least a bit of colour in her cheeks!  Much to be done yet. I'll start on the leather next.
