discussion Don Quixole & Sancho,;;54mm Resin

[monica]

well made a start on this one,over a wk ago,


have the base all but done,


think I,matched the stone,quite well,


not so easy doing the horse and donkey,but theres a few


little mistakes as always the camera picks it up and makes it look worse ,than it is,


have the base coats on them both,I have two ways to go with his armor,some what


rustly or very ,as all the pics I look at are so different,but mostly baseing the colors,


from the Peter,O,Tool, shots,


well hope you like this so far,

You had to get a cat in there........ Are you going to give Senor Quixote a windmill in the background?

 

[monica]

well Miss tabby cat pushed me of my chair,so time for a bit of a rest ,


always lol,must have a moggie,in it,


that's a good Idea,Peter,


it would just be getting it some what in scale,or tricking the eye to think so,


that's ware I,would need a little help,to get it to look,right,as it is a distance one,


maybe if you did 70mm,which is when he is mounted,stands at 90mm ??


maybe get lucky and have some other highs ,by others looking to help out ????

Good start! I will follow your creation! I always liked Don Quijote story.

 

[monica]

ta,Catalin,glad your liking the start of this one,I think the hardest part is over the horse and donkey,


the more I,try to fix ,I will just mess it up,

 

[Guest]

A nice progress, ever a classic, and don´t forgive Miss "Kitty Pride", it's so cuuute!, cheers Monica

 

[Guest]

This is a nice looking kit.


I think you are doing a real nice job so far.


Animals are never easy to paint,especially white ones.


keep up the good work.

Great work as usual Monica. Animals are never easy but these look great to me. Have you considered a photo backdrop?

 

[monica]

ta ,Francis,Ralph,Graham,for such nice comments so far,

A nice progress, ever a classic, and don´t forgive Miss "Kitty Pride", it's so cuuute!, cheers Monica

she dose let me know when I,m spending to long at the brushes,well they all do in there owe way,

Animals are never easy to paint,especially white ones

so very true ,as there real gray ,with blackish skin,I,m quite happy with them both,only a few little things I,wish


I,could improve on,

Have you considered a photo backdrop?

well I think that may be a better way to do the windmill,his dragon,if I do add it in,as Peter did ask as well if I,was going to add that,


still a thinking leave lol,maybe so or maybe not,
