Miniature Figurines

I am currently applying the undercoat washes to miss Eowyn, and this is being done using Vallejo's "Model Air " acrylics. From what I've been able to learn via images from the movies (and the action model shown in the first of this series) the colours are rather subdued and, I would imagine, hark back to a time when nature provided the dyes used for clothing. There certainly weren't any artificial man-made dyes. So that being said, Eowyn's garb will, apart from the chain-mail, be predominantly earthy colours for the fabrics and brown/red for the leather pieces and belts. My intention is to do the final detailing using artist's oils, in a similar fashion to the method I used for Felicia . Oh....you may also note that she is no longer holding her sword, the result of my clumsiness (again). However, it will stay removed until the last thing so that I reduce the likelihood of dislodging it again! More will follow.   UPDATE: Sunday 27th. August 2023 I have deci

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.
