Starting to paint Saint Servatius from Cafe Storme. He was born in Armenia and died AD 384.

I assembled this pirated resin figure to do painting exercises.

I wasn't satisfied with the pose of Leopold I. The face and head is OK to me. So I've carved away bits and pieces here and there.

 

[blaster]

Now painting the stripes along the breeches. One has to be patient to wait for the oils to dry.

 

[blaster]

Guess what? I managed to do Murat's breeches finally.

 

[blaster]

I'm also going to repaint this figure finally.

painted the groundwork on some figures.

Here is a minor paint touchup of the Roman Cavalry Officer. EK casting.

 

[blaster]

I gathered these three French WWI troopers for a painting session.

 

[blaster]

Painted the Mongol to this stage.

I also painted this figure with my current fav colour purpura!
I reasoned that a rich city state like Venice, Genoa or Milan would have dressed their militia in these luxurious fabrics.

I'm combining these two gladiators on a round base representing the arena.

 

[blaster]

I coated the base with fine sand over the cork surface. This represents the sand sprinkled over the arena to soak up the blood.

 

[blaster]

Finishing up on this italian militia man.

 

[blaster]

I mounted the mongol onto a base for stability.

 

[blaster]

I completed adding a quiver case to the mongol.

Pzinted the two African colonial figures to this stage. I will have to find a replacement scabbard for the officer.

 

[blaster]

I added a sword and substituted a brass tubing for the trident.

Finally painted the African Tirallier. Still have to label him. He has an Adrian helmet slung on his left hip and is already wearing a khaki overcoat. So I date this piece to about 1915.
The blue uniform is painted with French Ultramarine. I rarely use this colour as it is very translucent. the oil colour was painted over a basic humbrol blue.
