Pirate Commission – Part IV

01/05/202404/01/2014 by jbarton11

After a busy Christmas I’m finally back at the painting desk. The first priority is to finish off this pirate commission. This instalment features a couple of strips of generic, boring pirates. I’ve tried to keep the colours varied with a mix of browns and greys with muted brighter colours. I’ve also thrown in the … Read more

Happy Seppuku manufacture textured stamps for creating you own textured bases. If you’ve ever dreamed of having something more exciting than sand on your bases, but are put off by the expense of cast bases then these might be of interest to you. They are pretty simple to use, in fact there are just three … Read more

Quick little update on the latest commission. Just a handful of these completed. The Redcoats got a little boring so I threw in a quick pirate for some variety. Great little models these from Rebel Mins and are quite nice little sculpts. I’m not at all happy with how the pictures came out. I will have to get some better lights as the exposure is just too long and there are too many vibrations in the room.

Another commission has come my way. It’s 15mm again, but this time it’s pirates. This is just base coating again. I’ll start with a test model to see how it looks and I’m pretty stoked with this bad boy (OK – good boy). Colours used are the following (as much for my reference as anyone … Read more

Ke-Ho Base Colours II

I finally decided how to go with the Ke-Ho and added the yellow lines. And, all in all I’m quite glad I did. I’m really happy with how the base colours have come out and now I’m going to give it a quick spray of gloss varnish to protect the model and make the washes … Read more
