Wow there's a Bobby dazzler Tim.
Here at Race Towers Committee Room a round of applause was heard when this was shown .
Congratulations, love the contrasting colours .
Well, many thanks John. Always nice to get a gong……and glad you like the colour choices….
Many thanks Lee. One of the advantages of fantasy figures is that you can get to use somewhat brighter colours than usual

Hi Tim
Those little Hobbits are incredible. I honestly don't know how you cope with such small figures.

Hi all
After finishing my HMS Victory and with the interruptions of Christmas and New year and an Ikea upgrade to the hobby room I decided to tackle something straightforward. I chose the Airfix 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8. Not worth a full blog.
I want to show it in flight so needed the pilot. He'll do once in the cockpit
I hate masking!!

Thanks Lee,
I had some left over putty and decided to plug the depression made by bad fitting on the Constipation gangways and stippled some wood grain. I will paint in the green flush against the yellow post. I repeated for the opposite side of the ship as well.
Cheers,
Richard
Many thanks Jim, you’ve made me blush again…..in all honesty, once you learn the techniques they really aren’t that hard.

Luvin your work Tim. Great to see. Done for yourself or commission work?
Many thanks Steve. These were done my ever expanding Oathmark set up. Well, ever expanding until something else takes my eye LOL….
Looks really good Jim waiting to see the end resultsHi all

Tim, those munchkins are superb. You've put stripes on their trousers - now that's just showing off!
Here's my latest effort, a unit of Cave Dweller Savages. I'm pleased with them, and hope you folks like them. But they do rather highlight Tim's impressive freehand painting skills. I've put some warpaint on my savages (it's 'accurate' to give them a bit of woad, or I'd have left them in their ripplingly-muscled glory). It's meant to be a bit slap-dash and organic, but in places it's really not as neat as I'd like it. But just compare it to Tim's trousers (
) - those stripes are so sharp and regular! Hats off to you, Tim!
And for scale -

Love them Paul, they really look the part. The warpaint really adds to the effect as well. You don’t want that too regular anyway, it would have been done by fingers, not by brushes…..skin tone is nice, not too Caucasian, befitting for wild men like those.
As to mine, glad you like them. The stripes really aren’t that hard. Properly thinned paint with a good sharp brush is all it takesm along with a bit of planning and taking your time. I’ve done them several times before which helps….and also done plaid patterns on 28mm Gauls for a mate of mine. The hardest were on a thirty man unit of 15mm American civil war Tiger Zouaves, those stripes were pretty small…….no longer have the pictures on my I pad unfortunately.
