One of my friends at Sheffield Wargames ran a War of the Roses game last Sunday recreating the Battle of Tewkesbury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tewkesbury). Although I wasn't playing, I was asked to paint some awards for those that were. I don't know what each one was given for, but I'll try and find out.
All of these are 1/72 plastics from the Strelets Medieval Britain Set. Bloody awful plastic to work with, but I think they've come out OK and apparantly the receipients liked them.
The bit I'm least happy with is I tried to get a bit of sheer fabric effect on the wench's bum, but it just looks a bit dirty. Any tips for next time to improve this?
Any other C&C you have is most welcome, too! :) Especially pointers if I've painted anything incorrectly as I really don't know very much about this period!

Nice work Keeper. I would be happy getting one of those too.
Very cool mate, they pop right out at you!

How did you do it this time?

yeah, probably should have said! :) I painted the dress white first, then used some of the midtone flesh colour where I thought the dress should be tight to her skin.
ok, not that I've tried it but I think painting the flesh first (with less shading) and then glazing with the material colour might be the way to go....
trying to find a tutorial I saw ages ago, might have a go one day but dwarves and giant apes don't generally wear that sort of stuff so might be a while :tip-hat:
Thanks gi6ers :)
I've got a hero or heroine to paint to enter for next month's Sheffield Irregulars painting comp, so i might give it a go there!

Glad to help. If you need anything else let me know. :icon_wink:
Oh Nice. Dargrin if you have the time maybe you an write up a tutorial with pics and all.. :icon_wink:
The kids are now out of school painting may come to a screeching halt. Anyone who is interested check the tutorial section end of next week. I will try and put something together.
