A gift!

No Not for you!

The Figure is a Black Scorpion Miniature fantasy female Pirate. First on a slotta base and then on a wooden base. The base did come all black, but it looked heavy so I added a blue stripe around it as the figure did look too sombre for my liking.

being a resin cast I was not sure about painting it but it is now the 5th one I have painted in this material so I am gaining confidence!

As with all Black Scorpion figures it is a very nice sculpt but as always I did struggle to get the colours how I wanted them. The Coat for example started as a red coat, then went green before finally being painted again in blue.

Overall I am happy enough with the figure. Parts like the feather in the hat came out very well first time. But the face was a struggle as trying to get a brush under the hat with my level of dexterity was shall we say "interesting".

Still enough of me complaining about the painting. I hope you like the figure and I hope the recipient (NOT A BLOGGER does as well).































I also found near the bottom of one of the smaller Lead piles 2 Drinks machines by "Ainsty Castings" so while in the mood I slapped some paint on these as well.

Not the most challenging items but painted none the less. We have a "Coke" Vending machine and a "Water Cooler" Both for 28mm games and no doubt in the future both will be used but no plans for them just yet. But we both know having them painted does increase the chance of getting them on the table!

And that's it for Today another post on Monday. Thanks for looking and catch you all later!

Ahhhh! M' Heartyies!

 At Salute this year I bought 8 Dwarf Pirates from Black Scorpion. 4 have been put somewhere safe and I Cannot find them. I know they have not been thrown out though.... well I think I know!

But here are the other 4. They have already been on the Analogue Painting challenge so if you follow that you will have seen the crew before. These have been the first Resin figures I have painted (I have done vehicles before) and I did find the details just a little soft. Nothing so bad as to stop me buying more just a little soft.

After years and years and years of not liking Dwarfs in games I am finally coming round to them and enjoying them.

I kept the bases as simple as possible. Just sandy beach for a finish. This would give them a versatile finish and let them be anywhere in the world. Well anywhere with sand so any beach or desert.

They were painted to help out my "Enchanter" in Frostgrave, but Frostgrave seems to have fizzled out at the club. It may start again, but it gets less likely with each passing week, which is a shame as it was a good game and in the campaign I was not last. (I know that makes a change!)

But anyway I hope you can enjoy the figures and If I do find the other four they will be painted for the Challenge and will turn up here in due course.

Have a good few days and another post on Wednesday.
