Painting the Tavern Furniture (Phase 2)
After a bit of a slow couple of weeks due to work commitments, I’ve managed to get the fine detailing done on the Grendel Miniatures tavern scenery. In essence, I’ve used plain, primary colours using a foundation and wash to get the effect that I’m looking for… I need the scenery to look good, but to not detract from the Dunkeldorf Miniatures for Phase 3 of this mini project within the project. Citadel Paints used: Abaddon Black, Nuln Oil, Macgrabbe Blue, Drakenhof Nightshade, Lothern Blue, Leadbelcher, Averland Sunset, Carriburg Crimson, Retributor Armour, Mephiston Red, Blazing Orange, Reikland Fleshshade, Cadian Fleshtone, Agrax Earthshade, Dark Angels Green, Thraka Green, white Scar, Wraithbone.
Painted as a batch to try and keep a consistency of colours and tones throughout the vignettes. A bit of ‘ardcoat here and there represented spillages of food and wine. The house speciality is Chicken Tikka Bara Korma… a delicacy I used to enjoy in Leicester, UK - a mild, yellow curry with a creamy topping and sliced, hard-boiled eggs… delicious (see the mini cauldrons on the corner boxes of two of the vignettes)! I like the idea of incorporating great memories into my painting. ??
These are 50mm square vignettes and the actual detail from the floorboards to the tableware is absolutely fantastic. There are a couple of manufacturing defects in a couple of the pieces, but nothing significant. A real joy to ‘bring them to life’ with the touch of colour. 
The sculpts of the two seated customers is not the best in resin - the faces are not particularly striking, but this is a dated piece and computer-based sculpting has pushed the detailing and potential quality much further. None-the-less, with a sympathetic paint job, these integral minis will merge into the background. 
I may add a bit of weathering powder to this vignette and the fallen chap once I’ve added some companions to complete the scene.
I used a 005 Micron Archival Ink fine pen to create the table cloth lines 
Next up… Dunkeldorf bar flies to populate the tavern as ‘permanent’ fixtures. 
Ah, more work with Micron pens. Good stuff.
Thanks very much… your own work continues to inspire me. ?
