Purple Mist

Many & many thanks. It's not a GW paint. I airbrushed some thin layers of Vallejo Air paints from the military modellism range, mixing colours, too. Basically, you should try Nile Green paint + any blue paint + Dirty white or icovy paint, mixing them into the airblusher and proceeding on by a thin airbrush layering or glazing. Then, I used a lot of diluite washes from GSW and some dry brushing with white ivory paint.

I like a lot your crew. Beautiful models, great detailed and the gold yellow bases are very original. Bravo!

@Caedrus, may you gently confirm my point 3 is respectful of challenge rules?

My 2021 New Year's Painting Resolutions 1. To paint a couple of brand new crews for my collection; 2. To allign my old M2E crews to new M3E rules; 3. To add in my crews some non Wyrd minis that I bought looking to Malifaux world. 4. To complete Honeypot and Pandora crews I has going after in last part months. 5. My highst ambition and hope: to end 2021 dressing my mask only when airbrushing minis...... A thing I wish to all of you. For January 2021 I'll pledge Iggy (6ss) and Teddy (10ss) for 16ss. Keep youself safe and painting minis. Wishing you all a great 2021.

I modestly think buying minis is a basic instinct. I have more than a doubt about your chances to suceed as regard your point 1. As for me I pass on it.

Sorry @Caedrus, I missed your call for declaring pledge level....... I'll try Henchman level for 2021.

3 Sorrows and the Poltergeist, for 19ss to complete my December Pledge: @Caedrus, adding Lazarus (9ss) and the Fountain scenic (5ss) the overal value pledged should be 33ss

Amazing paint job @Diddick. I like a lot the burning spots. The model is impressive..... and great artwork with photos.

I have done with the fountain: As regard water: I used, for the first time, AK Still Water. I got the feeling it's thicker than Vallejo one. That created some troubles with air bubbles. I fixed it adding some drops of GSW acrylic thinner for airbrush so to get a more fluid stuff when layering. To make moving water, and waves I used two combined techniques. 1. I took some cotton swabs and dry removed the cotton fibers, then I soaked them with Still Water. I gave them the shape I desired and let all dry on baker paper. The resulting stuff can be refined with a cutter and scissors, then put in place on the fountain model and glued with still water. 2. I used GSW Transparent Gel to finish the splashes and create some waves. As a last step I spotted the water parts with a very thin mixture of acrylic thinner + still water + blue-green wash. For more see at the link: @Caedrus, I thank you again for support offered in this project...... BTW, I have no idea of the ss value of the fountain model. P.S.: taking photos I used the best lighting conditions to evidence the "water games". As a result the solid (marble like painted) components look very flat in the pics.

@Caedrus, you are mastering MNM technique! Then, the use of purple spots on the base adds a lot to the models. Great effect on the little stones that looks (may be are?) transparent.

AFAIK, looking to past years, I'd say yes. Models are computed inside the month they are finished, base included.

@Viruk, Great painting job and superb choice of bases. I'm not sure but I suppose they are ME1 minis..... that to say metal ones, that I consider a nightmare to paint because of paint pealing off. One more reason to admire your achivements! Bravo!

Hi there, I'm from Italy. I'll be pleased to take part to the challenge next year, too. I play and collect boardgames, card games and miniature games since sooo looong time, and..... sometime....... I paint minis and scenics, too! But do not expect I'm a very talented painter. I'm sure I'm better as a player and even better as a collector! I did not focused my painting ambitions and targets for 2021, yet. As I did during past years, I'll divide my efforts on many, different fronts so expect from me scenics as minis.

Thank you for great words of apreciation for my last minis. As regard your NMM models, looking them finished I cannot say they were metal or NMM. My attention was captured by work in progress and model pretaration pics that feed the suspect it was not a simple and direct painting technique with metal colour.

I know probably this is not the proper site page for this question........ Do you know if there's a complete list of Malifaux miniatures enlisted by publication date and some App allowing to inventory Malifaux minis? I'm trying to put some order in my boxes of shame but going mad with that!
