tsuko skin highlights

next stage adding some highlights..gonna probably give it another layer.

I'm back to my skimmed milk ring issue again..probably have to much paint on the brush again :)
but its getting there.

Tsuko continued

got some basic shading of the skin done for stage two of the instructions...little rough in spots but I'm hoping the blending of highlights will help clean up my post sat morning recovery shaky hands.

TSUKO LTPK 2 continues!

so after months of painting FOW soviets its time to return to Painting some 28mm figures.
just got the skin basecoat down..applied a couple layers before having to go out tonight...gotta say tho...feels good.
I'm excited to get back to the LTPK's and when they're done try out some Bones!

Plastic Soldier Companies Soviet infantry teams completed!

I finally got around to finishing the 6 heavy mortar crews, nothing special but they're done and its been a long haul getting all these infantry finished.

And heres  a picture of the completed Russian Horde
its not the greatest pic but my old Iphone  doesn't do well with far way detail shots like this.

No I think I gotta get back to finishing up those LTPK before tackling some Bones...its gonna be nice to focus on one figure at a time for a change let me tell ya! :)

Oh and all my wave 3 preorded figures for x-wing came in yesterday..which I must say I'm kinda glad I don't have to paint that game and can just play it.I really don't have any interest in painting spaceships.
I got em all in to the kickstarter case with a little modifications and all the tokens and dials into a Mastercraft parts storage container.

I should have bought more of those cases during the kickstarter..they're handy

more soviet man packed gun teams

Welp. I finished off the last of the man packed gun teams from the PSC army bundles I bought..all thats left is the 6 large based Heavy Mortar teams.

the bases are mostly made up of small bases I had left over from the 3 packs of plastic rubble bases I had left. I just glued two of them  them onto some blister plastic and filled in the gap in the middle they're abit rough around the edges but it worked out ok.
The two in the front right were made from a large base I cut in half then just used wood filler and sand on to create a bit of a dirt mound.

still working on the soviets..slowly but surely..almost done

It never ends I know :)

summer break is over back to the painting!

so I put aside the mat and took a break for couple weeks.
but alas before long the itch was back to finish up some more figures so I've been working on the large gun teams.
 used some woodfiller to flesh out the large bases  for the zis 2 and zis 3 teams..I glued down a few remaining inserts from the infantry team scultpted bases in the front and then applied some sand and dry brushed the colors up to match the bases I've done for the infantry

so Here are the finished 45mm 1942 obr medium gun teams..the bases are made up of two small bases glued together on some plastic from blister pack and used some woodfiller ot blend together..overall it worked out pretty good

then I finished up the zis 3 teams on the large bases

 

 and then the zis 2 teams..I messed up and have the axels upsidedown on these which is why they're pointing up higher.....didn't notice I did them wrong till I was painting them heh
