Wow!


Every time I see another of your fantastic figures I know I'll stick to aircraft


It's great to see your work and I do draw inspiration and even tips for some of my sorry efforts. At least I can hide mine in a cockpit and behind an oxygen mask and harness !


Cheers

Cheers Steve i would wager that your figures now are better than when you started

[Guest]

Hi all heres a few more progress shots, seeing as we are now surrounded by flood water i can get a bit of bench time














he left sleeve is finished bar the pattern, the left inside of the bearskin is done and i have started on the bottom part of the leather jerkin (Gambison)

[Guest]

This is coming along nicely.


Lovely paintwork.


Can I ask what colour's you used on the rope?

[Guest]

Cheers Ralph, the rope is a mix of white and raw sienna and a touch of yellow, not to happy with it really so it mat change yet

[Guest]

Awesome, I'm soooo jealous

[Ian M]

I love watching you work.

[Guest]

Hi all just to show that we never stop learning, I have been posting this on PF forum and one of the guys there posted a bit on it to say that the creases on the padded gambeson should be pale and posted this picture






now technically this shouldn't work on a miniature as the theory is that the deeper it is, or the further away from the light, the darker it is. however I thought I would give it a go and this is the finished result and I have to say I think it works










what do you think ??

[Ian M]

I think I'm gobsmacked. It does look better, even though the first one was amazing!

[Guest]

yep even my gob had never been so smacked

[Guest]

Hi Paul.


I think the change is accurate to the picture.


I'm working on the Scale 75 medieval hunter and I had painted the gambeson a mid brown with yellow ochre and titanium white highlight's,I saw the picture and thought sod it I'm not changing now.


Back to your's I think you have done a good job with the change.


Ralph.

Yet more awesome work, Nice, Very Nice

[monica]

your right,I do real like the change you made gives a lot more death to the padding,Paul,


he is coming along very nicely,


and thank you for the tips as well along the way,some what would be of help is leather ,


the get a very different look ,for one shad to another or even a different color of leather,


as I tend to be in this rut with it at the moment ,my hand always go to the same,color


with out real adding to it,just a block I,think with it,

[Guest]

Moni leather can be quite difficult and yes i normally go for the same colours, if you are using a burnt umber for the base colour, try using orange for the highlights and blus for the darker shades, and for the edges try a flesh colour, vallejo do a set of colours for leather which i have just ordered so ill let you know what they are like
