GavinP's AWI

[Steve J]

Very nicely done .

[Aart Brouwer]

What they all said ^^ 

Just terrific, man. You can compete with the very best 10mm painters around. And that battle must be sheer joy with such miniatures.

Cheers,
Aart

Superb

I've put your table near to Andy's Painting table.

Excellent news, we've still got a few battalions to complete so if Andy can turn up early and get them sorted for us that will be great

Your forces are looking excellent now Gavin. I've finished painting all figures -  just got flags and basing to do now....

[GavinP]

Yeah, Flags. Think I might print a few out at work today and dry fit them for the weekend as half these troops aren't mine of course so Matt can do his own stinking flags.

I've finished off a few things on my to do list this week or so.

One of them was the 10mm AWI unit I've been working on for a while. Pretty pleased and annoyed with these at the same time. Unfortunately, the castings are not great, these are the only useable sculpts from the bag of 30 + bag of 15 command. Many of the figures are missing parts of their hats, as you can see in the fourth picture (chap pointing - this is the "best" of the bad bunch!), and part of the drummers hat is missing too. This is why there are so many bareheaded soldiers in the unit.

Excellent !!

Can you pop me an email through on that, and I can find out what's happened and get some replacements sorted out.

Wow nice, any tips on painting these...found AndyMac guide, so will start painting soon. 

[Rothgar68]

Very nice!

Yeah, use a small brush and some paint

Seriously, you can't go much wrong with Andy Mac's guide. My painting is very similar, except I tend not to highlight quite as much as he does (and you can tell the difference!) What I mean by that is that the crossbelts for example are just white, Andy would have used grey then white.

Colour wise, undercoated in Black, the jackets are Vallejo (VJ) Dark Prussian Blue followed by VJ Prussian blue, the skin tones are the Foundry skin palette with the palest generally just flicked onto the nose tip and the cheekbones, the white is some old GW grey (Elf grey?) and then white and the yellow is VJ yellow ochre highlighted with VJ flat yellow I think. No trick to it, just neat and tidy slow and steady.

The neat, tidy and consistent approach when on the gaming table always works for me.

[far4ngn]

Thanks for the info, just starting painting mine (after a several years break) must admit it, I managed quite well.  Nowhere as good as yours yet, but I'm sure it'll come back to me...like riding a bike.

What colour did you use for your Jager jackets? 

I'm finding alot of my paints have dried up and I now need glasses aagh!  Glasses are on order...

[nikharwood]

Very nicely done Gav - that yellow is top-notch...always one of the harder things to get 'right'
