Thank you french guy. The step by step way you are creating your line has been a learning experience. Keep up the good work. Fred

thank you both thmbsp$

I hope it will be powerfull too. I'm wondering myself if I'll equip them with DDB or make my all team with Proline bases (because proline range is big : rookie, dial base, square, round, strenght, speed, and if I do a complete team, it will add a nice (IMHO) "graphic" coherence to it).

Hi,

this afternoon I started the painting job, it is really faster to paint 4 figs instead of only one.

I finished the pants, and I'm currently working on skins and jerseys.

I 'll finish it next week evenings....and I prepare an article for MF.org to show you easy ways to obtain cool shades and effects like these figs.


I'll make better pics tommorow with daylight.

Can't wait...
 

...for your article. I want to do my 49ers pants like that. :Dppls$thmbsp$drl$$

No problem, I'll make a detailed "how to" article with paint references. thmbsp$

I'm doing pics during my painting, so the article will be posted when I'll finish this 4 monsters :D

Where were you last summer when I painted my Bears

I am sad:( :(

your teams (the ones you posted in solitaire forum) are already good looking ! thmbsp$


Tonight, I finished the red washes and the black ink "pin stripping".

Sorry for the saturated colors (the jerseys and pants are darker than that) tomorrow I'll make daylight pictures of it.


For the pin stripping, I used black ink from Vallejo game color spanish brand (on ebay you can buy it even in USA). I really like this brand, with Coats d'arms brand too it is really the best quality price ratio, IMHO.

This brand make a quite thick and opaque ink, more consistant than Citadel "washes". So if you want to do washes with vallejho inks, you need to dilute it with water. Citadel washes are already diluted, you can use it out of the pot. It's easier, but a lot more expensive.



But right out of box, that ink has the perfect consistancy to make lining and pin stripping.

I use black lines to separate the pants from the jersey, jersey from skin, and pants from socks...or sometimes create detals when there is no or few details. I'll explain that in my future article, very soon.


edit, the fact I didn't painted the pants in gold metallic is a technic named "NMM" or "non metalic metal". I made my first tries using gold paint, but I didn't like the aspect. So I tried to make it with "NMM" technic, the result is not really accurate, but I prefer it.


To be continued ;)

Excellent! thmbsp$

As a friend of mine says "WOW"!!!!!!!!!!!
