I haven't painted a figure in awhile so I thought I would post his up this afternoon. Painted up in about 4 hours (give or take) whilst watching films online. I've painted this figure which is a Paul Hicks available from Empress. I have previously painted the figure but was not really happy with the finish so I stripped it and decided to re-paint it.
I'm really happy with the repaint which is supposed to represented a BUF Officer or Advisor.
Its going to be used in a small Diorama I am building to go with this years Partizan game. Hopefully I will get the piece finished before June!
The other reason I have been so quiet over the last few days is because the project which is taking up most of my hobby time is my entry for this years Trash Bash 2013 (details of the comp are here Trash Bash 2013)
This years competition is to take a computer mouse and use it as the basis for a deep strike type vehicle. We have been asked not to post WIP threads of our entries until after the winner is drawn, so I can't say much more about my entry. But I am pretty pleased with it so far and just hope I can get it painted in time before June 1st which is the closing date!
In case you haven't noticed I really have managed to put myself under pressure to get about 3 things ready all by June!
Mr Smillie, what a triumph! Fabulous work Sir.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favourite vbcw miniatures and you've really brought him to life - bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys you are too kind. I'm really pleased with this paint job my first pop at painting him just didn't quite work.
ReplyDeleteI really like that Mr Smillie, I especially like the light playing on the tops of the glasses. Good luck with the competition mate.
ReplyDeleteNice job! Oddly enough, I picked up the same figure to command my BUF forces.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers chaps, its a great figure to paint.
