Popular Post Ress is More Posted October 8, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Just started the Jack Daw tormented crew. Amazing miniatures! Assembly and basing done: I didn't know which one to start with so I let the cards decide. Lady Ligeia wasn't the one I would have started with if it hadn't been for faith, but I am more than happy with the way she turned out For the next model I let my 5 year old daughter pick one and she went for the Disected Guilty on the Cross *proud dad* 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Great stuff, I do like how desaturated the Lady looks!I will ask, how was the Jack Daw crew to put together? Any problematic parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ress is More Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 The Guilty look far more troublesome to put together than they in fact are. There are some very small parts that you do not want to drop (mainly the electricity). The parts fit together remarkably well though some filling might be preferable to achive a truly seamless finish.I did mount the guy on the bed and the electric chair on a small stand to give them a less static pose by adding some angle.The Hanged made me sweat a lot more, the ropes are very thin and the rope on 1 of them consists of 2 parts. Connecting the two rope ends worked well but the connection is at best very fragile... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Fair enough, I was going to order some Hanged, but I went with Punk Zombies instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbi Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Your Lady Ligeia is AWESOME. Great color choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigmar3 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yeah must compliment you on the dress in particular. I find painting a satisfactory black annoying but yours is lovely. Very deep and subtle. Blue for a highlight is the way to go it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallghost Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I can't wait to see the electric chair and lethal injection guy painted up. I love that you put them on a tilt like that. It really does give them a bit of action. Makes me think of Ghostbusters 2, when the convict ghosts attack the courtroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbot Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 That lady Ligeia colour scheme is perfect, I may just have to steal it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Feral Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Heh, the Guilty are such macabre and bizarre models, I love it!The Hanged is great too, that's my favourite of the two plastic ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ress is More Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Montressor and Guilty #2 are finished. I'm not too hapy with the electricity, might change this later on.Just JD and Guilty #3 to finish and I hope the other models I ordered for this crew will be arriving soon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallghost Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yes. Love the tilt on Guilty #2, love the washed out colors on the clothing. love everything about these guys. You are swiftly bumping this set up on my "to buy list". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ress is More Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks!I must say I am having a lot of fun painting this crew. After these are finished I will start add a Nurse, Crooked Men and I am hoping to get (the plastic) Papa Loco somewhere. Unfortunately it is looking as if the Drowned will not be released before the end of this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 It's a shame the Drowned won't be out until next year(?), they are some I would love to get my hands on.Great work on your most recent update, although I'm still puzzle as to why Montressor has a 50mm base as standard?

Ress is More Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Finished Jack Daw. I used day glow pigments for the glowing effect. The pigments look a bit more harsh in this than they really are. Also added some very dilluted pigments to the snow, whch I feel really worked out quite well.With Jacky Daw finished I only have the guilty strapped on the bed left from the starterset who needs a slab of paint. Allready assembled some crooked men, a nurse and 2 convict gunslingers too "hang out" with Jack and his mates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregs Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 How did you paint the small ropes binding the arms and legs of the Hanged 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ress is More Posted December 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I made a very concentrated black wash and applied this on the ropes carefully after finished the pants and skin, after that I used a very fine brush to paint them brown. The contrast gets real good this way and it is an allmost effordless way to make the most out of them I feel. For now: And the first of the 2 convict gunslingers: Up next will be the second CG and a nurse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentbadger Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Sweet painting. I like the tilt on the bed-ridden Guilty; it gives a much more dynamic look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 This makes me want the Jack Daw crew so much more ..... Brilliant interpretation of the models. Nice choice by the 5 year old daughter aswell. Are you planning on getting any of the drowned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ress is More Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 The drowned are definately on my list as soon as they are released. I've got the other convict gunslinger almost finished and the crooked men are assembled and undercoated. Currently there are some gremlins I will finish first. To be continued...
