Re: 4 wheels, 2 hp driven wagon
I don't know. The cart looks gorgeous as it is right now. I love the multi-tones in the various planks and components. Sure you really want to go all grey? It looks pretty damned good right now.

Re: 4 wheels, 2 hp driven wagon
Hi John
Yes she is OK, but she needs to be distressed to suit the scenario.
I have another one which could be a "posh" wagon next time
So to bring everything up to date, the heads for the 12 participants, they seem a bit pale but its early days yet
The bodies,still need to do some work on these
I have altered one of the walkers to a teenager stature
not forgetting the 2 horse power ""engine""
So a long bank holiday ahead, lets see how it goes
More soon

Re: 4 wheels, 2 hp driven wagon
Your heads look great, the rest really can't go wrong .
Also.... the selection of body parts with the decorative birds looks kind of...unsettling...psychopomps of the dead probably, only in miniature, so they are cute little songbirds instead of scary ravens .
Best regards

Re: 4 wheels, 2 hp driven wagon
You are burning the midnight oil, Raoul
Your 251's are looking really good,
I am going to slightly deepen the skin tone, a little for the heads, the 2 in the centre are the Russian, Siberian guards,
so I am still researching a good palette for their skin tone, everything from red leather to dark sand
I have done the eyes, which for me is the crux of a head, if the eyes don't look right, I never get to the next stage
One thing I have learned is how best to remove the pop eyed look, with a dark curve over the top lid, with anything from 822 dark camo to the darkest of your shade mix.
The decorative pot has 2 blue tits on a tree trunk, which is my storage for all my work stuff, when I get in, all my work"" slave"" stuff, ID badge, keys, and pocket debris, £1 coins, watch, Medic alert, etc go into it, so I am temporarily free for the night.
Ready to be re manacled every morning, except for the weekends
I will, hopefully, find the head painting "sweet spot" this weekend, and have some progress to post
Tomorrow is forecast for rain all through the AM, so I am preparing for a good solid painting session tomorrow morning.
I have been sanding, filing & scribing the 2 horses at work in my breaks, so I may be getting closer to getting those started soon too
More to come?

Re: 4 wheels, 2 hp driven wagon
Thanks guys
Head "mojo" seems to be absent today
But I have got the Mr Surfacer out and done some priming
More soon, hopefully ""heading"" back in the right direction

Re: 4 wheels, 2 hp driven wagon
I think I need to get me some of that primer. Looks like it goes on really nice.
All those figures would just make me sick knowing I had that many to do.

Re: 4 wheels, 2 hp driven wagon
It is excellent Shawn, and that was the 1200
I have ordered 2 cans of the 1500, which should be even finer, though they are all good.
I have a can of the red oxide 1000, somewhere on the ocean from China too
Mr Rinaldi was absolutely right, about Mr Surfacer, primer in a can, superb stuff
Though it can not be shipped by air, sadly, ships take much longer to arrive, so I am stocking up
