AWI Painting Diary

[Serotonin]

These are looking tops and making it both easier and harder to bust out my bag of AWI troops!

Looking good. 

As ever I'm going to offer something other than just a "wow/great/AN Other superlative" type post and give some criticism. 

In your 4A picture, the wash has highlighted the fringing beautifully and you can see it's extremely fine. I kind of feel you've killed that detail with your buff strokes which are too heavy and wide. I think on the next batch you should try and line them a bit finer. Hope you don't take offence.

Thanks Gavin, always useful to get a reasonable crit. You're right, they could do with being finer, lets hope my hands a little steadier next time.

No offence taken at all.

Cheers, Craig

Innovative basing, don't you just love it

Craig,

Glad you're ok with criticism, some aren't! I suffer from shakey hands, so I've developed a method where both hands are braced on each other. That way when they move, they move together, so figure and brush have the same relative movement. I also built my painting desk with a high shelf which I use to brace my wrists on eliminating the shake.

Oh and I forgot to say the trees are extremely good. Bit worried how they'll bear up with wargamers pawing at them during games though. Are they sturdy enough?

[Matt J]

These are coming along nicely.

I'll echo Gavin's remarks about the fine detail however the images being so close (and crisp) don't help, you forget how small the little beggars are 

Also musket barrels and mechanism would look better picked out in metal

I do the same thing, if I didn't I couldn't paint.

I like the trees and they have encouraged me to do something a little different on my bases.

I really like these.
They're temptation and deterrent all in one - I love the period and the figures, but mine wouldn't look anywhere near as good...!!

[Rothgar68]

Excellent work! Truly inspiring!

I'm glad Rothgar's spotting these...Something else I've missed !
Wonderful !
Cheers - Phil.
