Tuya, the Mounted Archer.

 

The stallion has received his white coat - rattle-can spray in matt acrylic lacquer and that was the easy part!
Once fully hardened I will start on the hard work of detailing him by hand-brushing.

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...

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...

Mini-Felicia: She now has a head and both arms!

Image
This morning I was able to attach her "power" left arm and also her head, having completed painting in the hard-to-get-at areas of both pieces. Her amoured left arm and automatic pistol have yet to be finally detailed, and her holsters and knife have to be painted prior to attaching to her legs.  Still plenty of detailing work left to complete but the little sister is getting closer to completion.
