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!
I'm a big fan of Black Scorpion's resin figures and whilst I don't own any of their pirates range, I still like them. Your lovely gift has come out very well. Great work on her.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. As mentioned this is the 5th Fantasy Pirate of Black Scorpion I have painted and I have enjoyed each one.
DeleteAll done on the femme fatale and the demon drink (machines).
ReplyDeleteCheers, Peter
Thank you Peter. All I need now is drugs and Rock and Roll!
DeleteVery nice work on the pirate Clint :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin. As with every figure there are bits I like and bits I like less!
DeleteNice job. The colours all work well together. I especially like how it flows from white to green to blonde to blues and then the browns of the boots and gun, the metals and then the whites on the coat tying it all together nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy. As I purchased the figure from Stu, I did wonder if you might recognise the figure. Tricky to paint but I got there
DeleteShe's lovely Clint, I'm sure the lucky recipient will be thrilled with this.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. The figure is destined to sit on a shelf for a number of years!
DeleteLovely work Clint. The depth of colour/shade on her hair is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Millsy. It is funny the hair was such a problem I never felt I got it right so it is very gratifying to hear that I have
DeleteGreat colour combo on the pirate Clint and you've managed to pick out detail that I doubt I would have spotted! Very jealous of the blond hair you've brought out, my attempts pale in comparison.
ReplyDeleteThe drinks machines are great additions to any modern set-up too btw.
Thanks Joe. It is Funny that you usually do not see everything on a model when you start painting and it gets revealed as you go along.
DeleteI was trying to make the hair more red than blonde. LOL. Oh well a good blonde is not a bad thing to have.
