Brushgit Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 And you didn't even reach peak Bushwacker experience yet. The sitting one and the one with a brush crown on her head are the ones causing the most difficulties. But you will manage 💪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assembled in the years tons of plastics, hundreds of ww2 soldiers with separate arms/rifles/pouches... Nothing compared to these bushthingies with separate leaves and awkward positons... Anyways they are now ready for the primer 💪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Skadog Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Ok first wip of the streak! Still lots to do. The skin is nice with warmer shades, quite please by mah's big hat 😅 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushgit Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 The hat looks great and the pumpkin patch is such a great idea for basing. Maybe you should reconsider the green tinted hairs as they pose the only real cold color in the minis and create a bit of "restlessness" or "scattering" combined with all the warm tones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting familiar with the blend 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushgit Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 That's a great improvement and a nice take on that stupid plain dress. Gotta say, I love the crew but the model for Mah is just not down my alley. Just due to the pose itself and that dress+bag+cape combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Skadog Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Quick and rough update. I have spent last few days batch painting the bushwackers plus trixibelle... They will be finished soon. Taking proper pics will be an hard ine, as they all have weird poses and i have to find a way to direct the light to the faces under those hats... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Skadog Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 White background for the wackers! It better reflect the light and it's easier to take pictures seen their weird poses... They have been a real pain to put together, I love them now that they're done 😅 The little pond on the hat it was a nice touch i think... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEV Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 The pond hat with the Pelican is a stroke of genius! Good job (just assembling those little buggers is a feat to be proud off and your paint job is good). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job (just assembling those little buggers is a feat to be proud off and your paint job is good). thanks, I have to say I'm failry new to painting Malifaux, on a side I love the fresh look of the minis, on the other some smaller details (like the teeth on the gremlins) are very hard to pick, the usual technique is paint the whole part one color then wash it and maybe a small point of highlight, here the teeth are not only small but not very carved into the model and by washing you basically paint the whole bit brown. and no matter what type of wash you use, can be acrylic, ink, wash... not a massive problem, but the face is usually the focus point of the miniature, and blurring it out doesn't help the overall clean look I dunno if it make sense.

Those little bugger have really little details... For the face, I always try to pick eye brow and the nose. Purple/red for the lips, the tongue and the eye to ad distinctive spots. As you said, it's near impossible to pick the teeth individually, so a wash really help here. Finally a small spot of light in the eyes help a lot to bring life to the face. Here's is a super close-up to illustrate what I'm doing (hard to be super smooth but by picking just a few details I feel that brings enough definitions). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
