Things are on hold here at the moment as I'm painting up some figures for 'A' , they are 1866 Bavarians in 28mm from North Star . It's a while since I painted any 28mm figures so it was a bit of a culture shock - soooo small compared with 54mm or even 40mm - rather hard work . (click on photo to enlarge)
Hi TONY,
ReplyDeleteGood going there on the Bavarians- yes, 28mm is a lot more harder to paint than 54mm (1/32nd). I find a Magnifying Glass is very useful for 28mm. Cheers. KEV.
Have tried a magnifyng glass but I can't get my hand/eye coordination right .
DeleteBeautiful paint job Tony, you are great at details and I love that Bavarian blue! I went to the Dollar Store and bought the strongest pair of reading glasses that they had for $1. They are great when I paint 10mm and 15mm figures!
ReplyDeleteThey are perhaps a bit bright , but I wanted them to stand out on the table top , think my days of painting small figures are over - I much prefer 40mm +
DeleteNicely done! They really ‘pop’. Great figures.
ReplyDeleteThank you , I find 28mm a bit challenging nowadays .
ReplyDeleteA is very fortunate to have you painting these for him. They look marvellous.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thank you it's a while since I painted any 28mm stuff , I find them a bit small nowadays .
