Wolsung Lord James Fouley WIP 1 + 2 + Finished (23/09/13)

[Peter]

I bought myself a 28 mm figure at Crisis last year. I bought this with a special purpose. Here you see it in blue colour, but I will paint it pink for "Breast Cancer Fundraising 2012 " at the Tales of a Tabletop Skirmisher blog. It's for the good cause, and I wanted to give them a little help from my side.
It's from http://www.microartstudio.com and is called "Wolsung Lord James Foley".



Here are the first pictures of this challenge for me. As I thought it is very hard for me to paint this figure. But I have learned something. Whatever the size is paint in your own style. I've tried something else but it didn't work. What? The face on this one didn't came out as I wanted and I repainted it.

But have a look at the pictures, and then you can make your own opinion.

Enjoy the pictures!











Colours used:

Undercoat in Revell White
Flesh in GW Elf Flesh and Vallejo Wash
Hair in GW Vomit Brown, drybrush with GW Golden Yellow and Revell white.


I hope you like it so far!

Time for part 2:


All the parts that will be pink are painted with GW Scab Red.






The ribbon on the hat is painted with GW Scaly Green. The buttons are painted with GW Shining Gold.




The pink colour is added. I used GW Tentacle Pink.




The ribbon on the hat is now painted with a lighter green GW Camo Green.


The parts that are going to be white are now painted with GW Fortress Grey.


The bird has his first layer of paint GW Blazing Orange.




Painted his "monocle" with GW Ice Blue.


Painted his leg protectors with GW Tin Bitz.


All the brown parts are painte with GW Snakebite Leather. The guns with GW Bestial Brown.

That's it for now. The next post he will be finished!

I remember when you bought it last year on Crisis, made me jealous.
But what a nice job you make here!

Thanks Jan and Remco

As I said in the beginning of this project, it wasn't easy for me to paint him. And the most problems I had was with the bird on his arm. Finally I painted that one with about eight colours I think.


Belts an other things painted with GW Shining Gold.








White parts painted with Revell White




The bird painted with:
GW Blazing Orange
Vallejo Red Wash
GW Sunburst Yellow
GW Fiery Orange
GW Blood Red
GW Enchanted Blue
GW Ice Blue
GW Camo Green












The final result!









I hope you like him!

I miss some shadows on his coat... or it is just because of bright lights?
Anyway, great job Peter

[MABO]

Nice birdy, Peter!

[Peter]

Thanks Dalibor and Jan!

Yes, he could have used some more shading but I didn't want to spoil the pink colour.

Forgot to tell but he went away for 10 English Pounds!

Looks verry good Peter, and 10P is a bargain for that work that you've done on that fig.

[santifernandez]

Peter,I don't like the subject of science fiction much but if the subject of painting and your figure is well painted.

[Peter]

Thanks Michael and Santi!

@Mickey: It was for the good cause. I sponsored it with this figure. And I had fun painting it

@Santi: I don't know if this figure is Sci Fi? Maybe someone else can tell us?

[Beano Boy]

Nice work,and I agree,"GREAT BIRD!" It`s the type that`ll take the other eye out,if he`s not carefull.

[Susofrick]

Late reply, sorry. Very nice figure and 10£ is very good! And for a good cause! And it would be nice to know a little more about him.

[Peter]

Thanks
