As seems typical of the hobby best intentions are oft left wanting. This was the case this past weekend, as although I had hoped & intended to complete the rest of the crew of the Ion Hope...it just wasn't meant to be. The lawn beckoned for a good mowing & then my wife insisted I assist with some weeding, thus the 5 hour block I had set aside for my hobby session, became 3.
Oh well, that's life. However I did get 2 of the crew finished & applied the Dullcoat this morning.
Here we have Gak & Roykirk
When it came to painting Gak, I am glad I looked at some other folks painting, as I didn't at first realize that most of his legs are bared. I originally thought he had some baggy type trousers on. I hope going forward that the illustrations provided show a whole body for those of us that like using them as guides to paint our figures. As in all the games I have with characters, I always try to paint them to match their cards, making it easy for players to identify them. I am not a fan of this clip on coloured disks that many games provide.
So that leaves 1 crewman for the Ion Hope, which I will be working on during my lunch breaks.
These might be my favourite yet Terry. Lovely work Sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael!
DeleteI can well understand painting the legs as trousers, it's things like that I do on a regular basis.Great work on the black jacket, blackbeing very tricky. Can't say yhtese are my favourite poses but they're still good. Roykirk's pose is intriguing though (high five-ing ?).
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, not sure if he is doing more of a 'stop right there' pose, seeing as he has his pistol stealthily hidden by his leg to the opponent
