About the Project

I have finally decided to make a project with some of the numerous miniatures that need painting. So thought I would start with Moonstone. I am at best an average painter. But thought that this may encourage me to try and up my game with some internet based encouragement/judgement. I have won a couple of buttons which is nice. Not necessarily merited but nice.

So, that now means all of the humans for the Commonwealth have been completed.

I still have the Gnomes to do for the Commonwealth which I have a fair few.

But a group shot is below.

Gertrude is the last of the Commonwealth humans.

I am not sure how well the photos turned out but I am happy with how the coat turned out.

The model is missing a little vibrancy as I should have chosen a different colour for the leather but I committed to it, so I will a cot the model as it is.

Not sure about the colour selection but I like the colour of the tunic – Periscopes from Vallejo.

I also think I should have gone darker on the money bags but went for the lighter colour to contrast

The model does have a few extra bags of gold to be added but they can wait until the basing is decided.

For such a small model it wasn’t too hard to paint.

My only real issue was the eyes so I may have to revisit them.

i think the coat turned out really well.  I did try the tartan pattern on the hat.  But after about 2 mins I changed it to the single colour.

Not much difference between this and the previous entry but she is now finished bar the base.

I have completed (sort of) my Blood Bowl project so have moved back to other miniatures.

 

The first Moonstone mini is Brunhilde.  So far she has been so easy to paint and has not turned out too bad.

 

I still need to highlight the metal colours  and sort out the gemstones but she is almost done.

 

I am not doing anything with the base as  I am not sure what way I want to go with the basing(I also don’t really like basing).  But that will be a problem for future me and that guy is an idiot who never liked current me, so good times.

So completed my last commonwealth humans.   Poppycock and old calders are probably two of my favourites that I painted.  Tabby, I couldn’t get the skin right but she turned out ok

I still have the Jackalope and murder bunnies to do, but after them, I may put this on the back burner for a while.  I have some shades and cultists built but not primed and priming always get put off.

 

I have too much in the pile of potential, so need to focus on some other mini’s that have already been primed.

So there is unlikely to be any other posts for the time being as I look into MCP, Burrows and Badgers, or Star Wars Shatterpoint.   There is also Blood Bowl that needs sorting.

So, I have completed the painting of my goblins – may at Christmas look to get the rest of the faction.

Firespitter turned out alright so have moved onto to my last Commonwealth box.

My photos are still rubbish but mostly show off the model.  The only thing I am not happy with is the slightly gloss finish.  In person it looks better but may add a matt varnish to help
