hahaha - nope, just got good Google-fu 

She's Aneka from Krod Mandoon [real name = India de Beaufort] - lovely, eh?

It's a funny series too: http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/10495920/Krod-Mandoon-The-Flaming-Sword-Of-Fire/Product.html

Okay, now I've finished the first part of the painting, here are some pictures as promised.
Now I need to fix some mistakes (bad brushing, discontinuities..) and also add some shading and furnitures too make it look.. like a dungeon.

I like it!

There really nice mate.

I wish i could pull my finger out and get working on mine again.

[Cyril]

Thanks to you guys.
count_zero99uk, it's not that hard nor that time consuming. I even under coated without any spray within some hours... (that part was the most tedious)

As a feedback, I would recommend to use a spray or at least use some textured paint for the undercoating. I guess the "Dark Earth Brushscape" textured paint from Coat D'Arms could do the trick.
There are two reasons for that :
1/ the base floor texture is only "textured" on some parts of the dunjon and its hard to do a decent brushing on flat parts...
2/ the resin cast has lots of small bubbles where the paint won't go without spending some time on each bubble.. except when your paint is "textured enough" I guess

Now for the main painting, if you don't want to take a full grey brushing approach, I would recommend to unify the colors you use at the "interface" of each part. This way, you avoid any ugly discontinuity. Yeah.. it didn't seem that obvious at the time..

RE: the doors.

I think I'll have to be propping mine up as they are all shorter than the walls, so if I construct them properly they'll sit off the ground (and I don't fancy painting loads of "Mind The Step" signs at 10mm).

Although now I've typed it I could make some steps...

[arabianknight]

Just finished painting the resin - no doors or furniture yet.

Dirty dungeons.. THAT I like ! Congratulations arabianknight !
I really neeeeed to paint faster...

[nikharwood]

Excellent - really nicely done 

[sixsideddice]

wow, that`s impressive.

Really well done.

[Cyril]

Alright, I advanced on the painting. Here are some results.
As stated before by arabian knight, the skeletons and orcs are the easy part... I'm a bit scared of going for the other big bad boys and the heroes...

I love those. Really good photos and well painted. Those zombies look good.

Really looking forward to my Dungeon pack turning up.

I'll stop gushing now... 

I've spent a fair bit of the weekend going through the various Warmaster figures I had which could be useful for a dungeon. Found a couple of packs of Pendraken trolls, a few Orcs with large glaives. A few goblins. Warmaster Empire look like they will provide a bunch of evil humans, even found a few Irregular Orcs that I had received in some eBay deal. All in all a nice little bunch of critters to add to the dungeon.

[arabianknight]

those are excellent Cyril.

I've stalled on the orc's with humungous swords, so it's nice to see those in your corridor - might just give me the push to get them done. As a note funnily I looked at their hair and immediately thoughr - RED as well 

Also good to see you seem to be the first person to have done the doors as designed. If I might have to have another go at trying to get the buggers to glue togther again. I've grumpily given up a couple of time already! 

[Cyril]

Thanks arabianknight, it's good to see we built a "motivation loop" ! I also need it badly !

As for the orcs, I agree, their hair couldn't be of any other color.
What's more angry than an orc ? A PUNK orc that's right !

As for the doors, I used the "staple" trick someone else had described here : you glue a sprue of staples under the top of the door system, then glue the two door parts on the "sides" of the staples. It's quite sturdy and works like a charm !
