Medieval Awards

[Keeper]

One of my friends at Sheffield Wargames ran a War of the Roses game last Sunday recreating the 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?

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!

 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.
