Title: First 10mm miniatures painted, any tips from the experts?
Post by: Orlygg on 07 September 2013, 08:40:19 AM

Here's my first attempt at some 10mm models. I used a black undercoat and army painter products. Based with Gale Force 9.

What do you knowledgable sages think?

Should be fixed. It was a problem with my photo bucket, too many views through my blog apparently. I can see the image now, hopefully others can too!

Really nice painting - the shields look great.

The only slight thing, is the dragon banner it looks a bit like it is just stuck in mid air - this might be the angle of the photo?

Probably because the colour of the staff merges into the dull background, whilst the dragon stands out.

Very neat paint job, Orlygg.  8)

I'd say paint more, because those don't need any other advice. Really really nice job!  8)

They look pretty darn good, first attempt or not.

Only suggestion I could make is to smarten up the black line distinction between spear staff and spear head - possibly add a bit of pure silver (shiny) to the tip as well.

Otherwise, carry on, encore!  :-bd

Very nicely done indeed  8)

My only comment would be for an additional highlight on the spear shafts, just to make them 'pop' a bit (and the extra highlight on the tip as Zippee suggests too)  :)

well I found out a new one today, I ran out of spray paint, so I mixed brown gloss paint with matt black emulsion, and hey presto
a new base coat for my 15mm Zulu`s....I have enclosed some pics of my recent figs completed....
