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

Eowyn, from Lord of the Rings.

Image
Eowyn is a character who features in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings fictional works and in two of Peter Jackson's movies, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King . In both cases she is played by Miranda Otto, and the 1/6th action figure shown above (by Asmus Toys) is a likeness of that character.   My figurine (above, and following) is from Garfie's Games, an eBay store, is 3-D printed and is in 1/12th scale. Yesterday I finished the cleaning process and then primed the figure, ready to start painting. As per the previous figures featured in this blog, I am using Vallejo's "Model Air" acrylics and the very first thing I did was to give Eowyn a wash of thin black. This has the effect of lightly shading the tiny recesses, clefts and creases in the chain-mail and the coarse-weave under garment. Once thoroughly dry I will start on the colour washes. More to follow as work progresses.

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.
