First Figures finished!!!

So the first of the Bob Murch figures are now finished. If I had seen photos of them finished when I was about to start I would have happily taken them. Now I am done I think the army painter has made their faces rather darker than I would have them. This was due to the not stirring then stirring and painting and not sponging of afterwards. Next time will be better. Funnily enough though the photos dont show up much of the shading and they look quite flat and not nearly as dark as they are in real life - clearly I need to experiment with taking photos to get a better final shot.

Which are my favourites? well I really like the marine captain and the guy with the spade - top favourite though is the rather odd choice of the bloke with the baseball bat. Although mostly in browns I really like the way the braces show up against the brown and I really like the tone of the bat. 

Painting of Figures Continues

The first lot of figures are nearing completion now. I have taken a few photos of work in progress. These are from before the adventures with Army painter shading.

Pulp Figures and the Order of Expense

Finally ordered my first figures for these tall tales.

7 sets from Bob Murch now on order http://pulpfigures.com/home/ - The cost was NZ$150 which is eye watering for my poor pockets but with the packets I've ordered I think I have covered a lot of bases.

Also hit on the idea of using carpet tiles for the terrain floor. Cheap as chips on Trade Me and can be sprayed or flocked a bit to make less carpet like and more ground like. I had originally been looking at a mat on Trade me which was 20 bucks but was reluctant because I was not sue it would be right and size wise also seemed to not match what I needed.




A quick search on Tinternet showed it was not such a stupid idea so now scanning trade me for some good deals.
