I'm still dipping my toe into the torrid waters of miniature painting but I'm happy with how these have turned out. Of course I chipped a bit of paint from a couple at the last minute and didn't notice before the pictures, but never mind.



And a final calibration shot, mainly for my mates on social media that have no idea of the size of these!

Thanks Rick, I'm sure they think they're 6" high :smiling5:

Thanks for that Tim, I just need to work on my patience to develop my long game.

I keep putting off a big project as I'm not sure I have the stamina for it! I'm in awe of those that can dedicate weeks or months to really get the best out of a build instead of just rushing to get it finished like I do.

Thank you all! I'm glad to see the eye strain and backache were worth the effort :smiling5:

I also discovered that this foam really doesn't like thin CA glue. I though it was going to melt the lot :surprised: Lesson learned for next time.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Great job Andy, I don't know why you were so nervous of it.

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Neil.

I'm always a bit apprehensive when trying something new, especially with a teenage figure painter in the house that just says "not bad for an amateur" :smiling5:

I'm more than happy with how they've turned out though so keep going and hopefully keep improving.

 

[Tim Marlow]

“not bad for an amateur “ LOL……kids eh….they were born able to do things
As to backache…improve your posture or you’ll get issues later on. Being hunched over for long periods will lead to back and neck ache. To paint minis, sit upright in your chair, with your elbows on the bench and the minis held at around eye level. You can then breathe properly and your back and neck will thank you for it…..

 

[Jim R]

Very nice indeed Andy. You have every reason to be proud of those.

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Jim. I've also learned a few things for next time so happy all round.

He loves to pull my leg Tim, he thinks they're great really

And yes, my chair is part of the problem. I don't have one lol.
I did try painting in the house but got fed up of tottering up and down the garden when I'd inevitably forgotten something, so I'm perched on a bar stool with a totally unsuitable posture.



Plans are afoot but I can't do anything until after Her Ladyships birthday garden party next month.

“You can then breathe properly... "

Yeah, right. Not holding my breath is the hardest part of painting miniatures, I find. Doesn't matter I know I shouldn't do it - I still do!

 

[rtfoe]

Really great painting skills there Andy...I need someone to help me with my monkeys. :smiling6:

Yeah, right. Not holding my breath is the hardest part of painting miniatures, I find. Doesn't matter I know I shouldn't do it - I still do!

You'll never know if you had broken the world holding breath record. It seems to come naturally when painting figures, bad it may be but the only way to keep everything still.

I'm a master at procrastinating and step away at any moment from my build at the slightest distraction...mainly titbits for the hungry stomach.:smiling2: And I have no deadlines.

Cheers,
Wabble

 

[yak face]

Fantastic job andy , they look at home on the base . Cheers tony

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Richard, looks like I'm a bit too late to help out :smiling5:

Much appreciated Tony. Base was fun as I thought the change in elevation would suit the low, mid & high level characters.

[Andy T]

Cheers Paul, glad you like them.
