Halftime Highlights


Progress is progress and always preferable to no progress. So says the glass-half-full crowd. The opposing camp, being less charitable, wonders why FD's bearded devils are taking so damned long to complete.

Patience.

Painting time's been somewhat limited lately. Even so, I hope to finish before the snow flies ;-).

The next step in the process is complete. All the highlights are done. Now come washes to establish the shadows (the shaded part of James Wappel's shaded basecoat method).

Mold-seams magically appear,  requiring  remedial action
Lattice pattern on kilts needs special attention
Some pink is added to the vertical portion of the kilt

    1. Thank you, Simon. Without being planned as such, they're turning into a protracted series of WIP posts.

  3. Agreed. Progress ... any progress is better than none. It's coming along nicely for sure.

  4. Very nice work! I noticed the Fractured Dimension minis have gone from the Mortal Arrow page - Do you know whether they are available somewhere else?

    1. Thanks, Stefan.

      A search reveals this: https://fractured-dimensions-miniatures.myshopify.com/

      My first time seeing it. It wasn't there a couple weeks ago.

    3. Very much a WIP. FD's original store and FB page were pulled down ages ago. There was an Ebay storefront evidently linked to them that only recently disappeared. Their blog hasn't been updated in years (although it's still there and the new store links to it).
