The weekend saw me doing some inking of bases and today has seen me do a bit of dry brushing on top of that. These are what is left of the Viking/ Skyrim hoard that needed to be finished off.There are some that still weapons adding but for th most part these are all now done.
What that left me with was a base with a bit of depth of colour and pleasing to my eye. It's also given me an opportunity to look at some of the figures again and do a bit of titivation. I have bit black ink around some of the unpainted eyes as I think it gives the faces a bit more depth.
Followed by another coat of mat varnish for the figures to make them truly tabletop resilient and they are done. Nice and matt in finish and robust enough to handle even the most careless of players. They have only jyst been done so are still a little shiny.
Basing is a pet hate of mine so I am glad it is over now. That said, I am sure I'll have some more to do.
These look great Fred, I have to say that I really enjoy basing and often spend far too long on it - I just love the way that it helps to bring the miniature to life.
ReplyDeleteI like it when it's done right. At the moment though I am looking at prepping stuff for table top not as a work of beauty. Think I might be becoming a little to mechanical.
DeleteNice job Fred they all look great. I hate doing anything in large quantities its so tedious.
ReplyDeleteI just hate basing. I actually find it easier to do things in bulk. Trouble is that like any bulk process, it does get a bit more mechanical and lacks a bit of flair.
