Pour l'Empereur!

Salut à Tous,

un tutoriel pour l'Empereur qui me demandait il y a quelque temps comment récupérer des figurines peintes il y a fort, fort longtemps!

j'ai donc repris quelques figurines d'hoplites que j'ai barbouillé à la gouache à mes débuts dans les années 90
voici le processus de remise à niveau en images pour lui et aussi pour vous qui passez me voir. 

Hi all,

here is a tutorial about a question that "The Emperor asked me sometime ago: " How can we repaint our old toys?"

So I returned in my lead mountain, took some old ugly hoplites I basically painted in the 90', you'll see it in pictures below with some explanations.

I took some old hoplites from Essex Miniatures I did'nt use for ages:

I peeled off the spears I put to replace the lead spears, then the figures were cut off from their bases.

 I directly sprayed the figures on the cardboard where I glued them, firtsly with a black coat then with a mournfang brown spray coat of Citadel spray cans.
Edit: I forgot to write that I have washed them in the Jester bath http://thefrenchjester.blogspot.fr/2013/12/an-alternative-to-turkish-bath.html.).
of course I have prepared the same number of new hoplites to drown the old hoplites in the new ones.

 A brushwork on all of them (you can recognize the good old toys by the static grass hidden with some paint) and the help of the Little Big Men Studios transfers.

a long time spent on basing due to the necessity of mixing the old ones and the new ones.
( few close up to see how it is in the end).

I'll be happy if you can leave your comments on this tutorial.

Be seeing you;-)

Steppes by Steppes!

Hi all,

a step by step to paint horses ( and men on them also).
1-you'll need a aera well ventilated and a paint mask, otherwise you'll be a victim of your hobby (your sickness in wife's language).
2-some spray cans of the different browns, yellow, sand, black,white, greys (fifty is too much).
3-a good number of prepared mounted figures
4-two good arms to shake the cans    
 few pics to illustrate it:

5-a stop in thefrenchjester's bath later
6-hairdryed to gain time

7-then after a short stay at the paint station
(I have painted them with Vallejo and citadel acrylics, paints for aero from Spectralite, Golden and schmincke plus a large use of brown inks from Liquitex).
the result in pics:

hope you'll like them;
more to follow soon.......
