discussion Next figure painting project

[wotan]

After painting the little guys for my tavern I got the bug to do some more. So this is the start of another project. First of all the quality of this little figure is just outstanding. He is modelled after Albrecht Durer's famous knight engraving.



This is the 28 mm figure.


and just to show his size.

I was always an admirer of this image, that's a fantastic rendition of it.
Watching with interest

Waiting for you to work your magic.

Wow thats tiny john ! Figure looks beautifully done . Cheers tony

Wonderful figure. I'm assuming it is a 3D print. Some of these 3D printed figures are unbelievably detailed. Look forward to seeing it painted.

I got a black base coat on my new project figures. The hunter, which youo can't really see too well in black, is just a superb little print. Even his bow string is there and all at 28mm size.



I have done the Knight. Not an easy paint job and not entirely up to expectations but OK for the size and my eye sight.


This is also my first go at using the AK 3 Gen paints. Not sure yet if I like them but I will persist.

Well done John, lovely paintwork

 

[Tim Marlow]

That’s going really well John. Horse has come out nicely.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

That looks great John.
can we see a size comparison shot again with a pot of paint perhaps?
I imagine it's much smaller than we realise

 

[wotan]

Thanks guys for your kind words. I've got another dozen or so of these tiny medieval guys coming today so I will be keeping busy through the long Canadian winter.

This is a size comparison photo as an excuse for the less than great painting skills.

[Neil Merryweather]

I think it's fantastic John!

 

[wotan]

So this is the base for my new project. Again an old building being tarted up.







And these are my next victims to be painted. Once again some great little resin prints at 28mm.

Incredible work john , looks excellent . The new figures look good too . I’ve used the AK 3rd gen paints and found them to be great - although I mainly airbrush them but I thought they brushed ok , nice fine pigment and good coverage . Of course I dont know how they would perform with blending etc as on figures .

 

[Tim Marlow]

Interesting figures John. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Nice one mate - albeit not the most attractive 'bar-person' ... Look forward to the end result!

Those figures are certainly interesting. With your skill they will paint up really nicely and fit the "tarted up tower" very well.
