Traditional Gloss Figures. (1 Viewer)

[aujj65]

Over on one of the other threads I mentioned that in the past I painted my own castings and it has been suggested that I post some photos of my efforts.
So here are a couple of shots of a Sudan War period Royal Artillery Screw Gun set, these are made by Tradition.
If there is enough interest I may take up the paintbrush again and paint a set up from scratch showing how I do it!

Wonderful talent.....I miss my young eyesight ,but even in my best days, I could not duplicate your efforts. I ,too, would love to see a from scratch gloss paint job. Who knows, maybe I could get the hang of using those magnifying lights..............Michael

Those lights take some getting used to. Just now starting to benefit a little from it

Thanks Dave. Tradition are very well sculpted and that makes them easier to paint. I got these from Tradition USA which is in Minnesota. They don't have a website. I can send you their address if you're interested. You can also get them from Dutkins Collectibles in New Jersey.

Thanks for the interest, I will now obtain some castings and start from the beginning with photographs and see what happens

There are many talented painters on the forum and its nice to see other peoples figures.

Here are some more of the sets I painted a few years ago.

As you may have noticed, I had this thing about Elephants

Jeff

These are Irregular Miniatures Carthaginian War Elephant and the Tiger Hunt set is from SoldierPac (Britains recasts).

Thanks KV.

Yes, Tradition castings. I like their figures, they paint up very well.

These aren't painted in gloss, I tried a different approach and used matt paint. NOT my best efforts ..........I should have used gloss.
