June brings the end of the OWAC, show here's a few pictures of my new army

 Where did the time go, looking back it seemed to drag on forever, now it just feels that wieght has been lifted and I can look back and see the results of my efforts and looking forward to putting these on a table for a game to see how they play.

First month, saw me start off with a few pilgrims, all figures from the Celtos range via Brigade Models

Second month, I've seen what others did in January, let me take the brake off and push myself a bit further with a few amazon/greek types from Foundry which I think are no longer in production and a selection of masked females to details of which I've forgotten, sorry.

 Month three, is when I really went to town, following Mr Beales heroic efforts with his Chaos horde in month two the chase was on, so with holiday due, bad weather and having to stay home I splashed a bit of paint over this little lot - various manufacturers and age of figures from C series amazons, grenadier to Foundry and others.

 Month four saw me keep up the pressure and dab a little paint over a few C series Amazons and a Grenadier giantess.

Month five, I had intended to take a month off but Mr Beale was still set a hard pace so I pushed on with these girls! Another grenadier collossal lord, giantess, a couple of female ogres origin unknown, Shadow forge Centuars and grenadiers cat riders.

Month six, Saw me splosh and touch of paint over a few oddments in the bottow of the box to make up the numbers in various units and have a little fun!

 When all added together gave me this little lot.

All in all, a happy bunny.

 

 

Too cold to paint!

Well, title pretty much says it all this week, with the UK caught in winters icy grip joined by the remains of hurricane Emma, my conservatory was not the place to be applying paint of any type, until today, that is. So I pulled out a little bit of nostalgia which I think I picked up at BOYL a couple of years ago :- A Citadel import from - Ral Partha White Dragon ES72/01-072 AKA Cold Drake ( http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Dragons_-_Collectors_Guide#Fiend_Factory_.28FF.29_Dragons ), and applied a splattering of colour which I hope you'll appreciate.

Please, forgive the first few pictures in the sequence I bumbled to settings and until I noticed and re-set the camera it was too late to take a step back.

I'm also still playing with the stills video, but this time without the music!

Enjoy

Seductress Dragon

Here's one of the larger models I've painted over the last couple of years - a Ral Partha model from their Dragon of the month series - The Seductress Dragon, designed by Steve Saunders. Here's a picture of the original packaging, the miniature was painted by Jackie Prow.

Original packaging

The model came in four pieces - the tail, torso and a pair of wings, simply pinned everything together using epoxy resin and sprayed it with a satin black undercoat. Originally, wasn't too sure about how to proceed with the paint work, but was sure I would do some kind of scale pattern on the tail. So, set drawing out the diamonds, took a bit of time to get it how I thought it would look and then just began to build up the colours - yellow and brown on the underside and red across her back. Here's a few pictures of how this all progressed.

Early stages

Getting there

A bit more detail added

After all the work to get the tail looking good, I tried to keep the upper torso as simple as possible, so as not to distract - hence the grey. So, here's the final picture.

 Hope you enjoy the post
