A few days ago, I decided to open one of the boxes of scale modeling stuff my dad gave me, a box of assorted lead figurines dating from the 80's. The first two pictures are my first figure, a Greek Solider, followed by a painting sequence of a second one.
All hand painted by yours truly!
Next is a sequence of how I paint the figures, as well as pics of my stash...
The figure on a clamp with the paint holder next to it. On Both figures I used 9 different shades of paint!
First the armor color (base coat)-
Red highlights.-
Flesh tone added (model master wood)-
Black highlights.-
Cloth painted Polly Scale Earth Brown, silver highlights added, belts and sandles painted brown. Touch- up on some spots too.-
Model Master Italian Dark brown on the base, covered with a sprinkling of loose ground foam.-
The finished figures.-
Now for the stash, I think I have plenty to keep me busy!-
I eventually want to paint this figure, all it says on the bottom is "Freebooter." Hmmm...
Any posts welcome! (Remember this is my first attempt!)
