Spring Clean-Risk Thrift Store Challenge

About the Project
I have been interested in going more epic scale and to use smaller area for a possible blackpowder style time period. I wanted to minimize the space it would take up as not a primary time period I play. I wanted to keep the budget small for the price. I started by finding a copy of Risk from the local thrift store and started to do some test armies.

Red Calvary Started
The horses are where I started. Due to the red base coat I would do it differently like I did with my test pieces priming a base color instead of red. This was followed up for the white pants.
Next up will be the black boots and skin tones.
Red Army Finished Up
This is the last of the Red Calvary mounted and ready for storage. A full picture will be coming soon.Blue Army Started
I started the blue army next. Picture one is the figures being mounted on sticks for priming. This time I decided to use my new Monumental Primers to see how they worked. I planned to specifically to do this so that I could contrast paint the horses. The cannons were painted up for wood grain to get it sped up. The infantry was primed and then airbrushed blue to get them ready.
Blue Army Cannons
I decided to do the cannons first because they would go quick.
I got them mounted and ready for flocking, but I have not flocked them but here is some calvary cannon stands with some of the finished infantry.Blue Army Horse Samples
I decided to try some different browns to see how they would come out and see how they looked. Several looked too close, but here is the samples for anyone interested.
Blue Army Infantry
I did the Blue army very similar to the red with the only difference being red shoulder pads and red arm trims.
Progress Picked back Uo
I have been busy with my boy's little league baseball team. However, got back to work on the Risk Armies. Calvary next then basing it all.FInished
I finished off my Blue army completely. All figures are based and finished. Need to clear a space to take some final pictures of them on a table.
