Bodyguard WIP 2, plus stuff for Ebay

Well I spent another hour on these two today and am working with washes for the shade then over painting for highlight. Not sure about the look but nice to try some thing new.

 I have also dug out a few things which I plan to paint and sell to get some money together (not for hobby things alas). It is my daughters 21 this year and that means a big party... I hope to pay for most of it through my commissions and Ebay.

So my first lot are these great figures from Empress miniatures they are the Hollywood version of the Rorke's drift characters, a great set . I had a few nasty mould lines to clean up for nothing to get upset about.

Mad Mcollas Bodyguard WIP

These two guys are Guards for the big mad Scotsman. I have just started on the flesh and hair which as you can see is very orange. I have to make my own flesh tone as I have run out of Dwarf Flesh, I think they look a little on the dark side but I guess Scotland does get some sun so could be a tan (I have had 1 sunny week in the last 5 summer holidays up there).

ECW post dip

As I said yesterday I took more pictures of the ECW shotte after the dip. The first two are straight after dip, the second two are after some over painting, all the figures will be hit with a matt varnish when based and finished which will kill off the last of the shine.
Taking out drying time I have spent about 2 hours on these 6 figures so I feel good return for time spent.

Peace James
