Razin WIP01
Razin is a commission paint job for a friend. He's made from Games Workshop bits by the talented Oliver Wigham. He represents the fighter in our current DnD party.
On this model, Oli put candles on the base - this was the perfect opportunity to try out some new (to me) techniques - Non-Metallic Metals [NMM] and Object Source Lighting [OSL].
Here's the progress so far.
This was the first shot I took, the chiaroscuro still wasn't right, though I'm fairly happy with the NMM on the swords .
Here I've darkened the armour some more
The base still needs work
I'm pretty happy with his face now.
I need to spend some time on blending some of the colours more, but he's definitely getting there.
28mm Spartan Greek army WIP03 - Cavalry finished, other news
With so many projects on the go, things get done in bits here and there. I've been experimenting with NMM on a commission miniature for a friend, and I thought I'd give it a go on some older miniatures to see if it helped. Well, I think it has, I have finished some mercenary medium cavalry - you can see it on the commander's breastplate
A couple of old citadel Runequest hoplites have joined them too.
These are ancient minifigs miniatures, I think the middle one is supposed to be Alexander, but he'll do as a leader figure for now.
I've also been playing with some different basing gels
The crackle paste gives a nice dry and cracked ground effect, I think I'll have to mix it up a bit for the best effect though. Here's a tester on the front of some hoplites;
More on those soon
Also on the table, some WIP Vendel hoplites
...and the Jason and the Argonauts figures are making slow progress
More soon.
