Hi chaps,

Just managed to base up the 24 figs i painted over last weekend, well apx 10 hrs, getting quicker but i think it will be a while before the dice are rolling.
Bit of a one track pony at the mo, just waiting for the opposition to arrive. The plan is to paint 30 over a weekend but we will see, why does work always get in the way in the week.
Hope you like them , looking forward to starting the next batch tomorrow,

cheers,

Kev,

Great work!   Your style really suits this scale, the colours really jump out at you.  I look forward to seeing the opposition in due course.

Hi Kev,

Great work, superb detailing!

Two things, are you undercoating the trousers grey and highlighting white? and also might I nudge you for info on your basing technique?, it actually looks like a common field with kicked up turf, I'd love to be able to replicate it.

Cheers

Cheers chaps,
Yes Ry, i use mostly velejo paints and the light grey is 345 splinter camo. The base tex is the white pummice then battle field grass, i usually ad a few tufts to finish, i did mix my own fine sand with pva but this pre mixed stuff is quicker and it stands up better. costs about £7 for 200 mils but you get a lot of bases out of it, i will put a pic of the full army tomorrow, well what iv,e done so far so you can see how far it goes and i still have half a pot left.

Those are GORGEOUS Kev.
Cheers - Phil

Great work Kev . my AWI stuff for Maurice is way down the queue at present, along with many, many other projects .

Cheers Kev

Any chance of nicking your paint pallete inventory details for AWI?, I've only ever used vallejo paints for Jerries Afrika corps (I'm a GW harlot).
Everyone keeps telling me vallejo paints are a better job overall and as I'm about to overhaul my pallette, I want to know I'm investing in something I'll return to.

My experience with the new GW paint pots tells me they're engineered to dry out within 75-100 uses (so buy more and make GW richer), and I still use the vallejo I have (3 pots) after 4 years.

My paints are roughly 10/90 - gamecraft/GW with a few vallejo so any input is good.

cheers

Yes Ry , i,ll sort out my paint list for you tomorrow as i,m on the wine now  . i always used gw paints before and still have some but find it difficult to get them in hungary  so get vellejo from Leon . Both good paints so dont give up on your gw yet as i will give you the eqivillant ones i use.

Excellent work!

AMAZING , GREAT Job

Congratulations

Lovely work.  Am I allowed to be jealous!?  Have sent my AWI off to be painted for me as I have so many projects on the go I just haven't the time to do everything - I know just what you mean about work getting in the way of painting.  If mine are half as good as yours I'll be happy.

Great work     DaveL

Beautifully done Kev 

That's me out of a job

Those are really great Kev, well done

Andy Mac

Thanks chaps, i think your jobs safe Andy  . Well i,m halfway to my 30 figs target for this weekend but i,m going wine tasting at a mates tonight so it may be a late start tomorrow 
Here is my paint list Ry, Gory red, flat red,scarlet/ blood red GW, splinter cam light grey, scorched brown GW, vermin brown GW , off white, bleached bone GW, dark flesh, basic skin tone, polished gold, mithryl silver GW, gun matal, dark green, sick green, royal blue GW, prussian blue, and german highlight 337.
A lot of the GWs have changed their names since i last bought some so not sure of most of the equvilants but i,m sure there is a site somewhere that gives a list.
I also use these for naps so a handy lot to have in your paint stock. Hope this is of help,

kev

they look really good, coming along really nicely
