Tom Bombadilo's Rebellion miniatures & terrain

[tombombadilo]

Heya fellas,

I got my Scots today and will start painting them tonight or tomorrow
I will post WIP pics and maybe how I painted them, I will count on you guys to help me with painting tips as I really suck, also please be honest and say the are a sad attempt and tell me what do to improve, I would like to achieve an ebob level project and will labor until completion. Also I will be making terrain but that will come a little later on.
Thanks Matthew

WIP pics of Scot #1



I have painted his legs so they are somewhat muddy and bloody.



This is close up of his shield.



As you can see in pic below he now has a shirt.




I know that my painting is bad and I am not too happy with it either please be brutally honest (you wont hurt my feelings my family has already destroyed them) ;D and tell me how too improve as I rely on help for advancement.

Thanks a bunch Matthew

very nice.

Do yo have any advice for me, anything from the great ebob?

Not really - I think he's looking pretty neat! just need to add some stripes for the tartan.
I would recommend matt varnishing at the end - and the only matt varnish I'd advise using is Testor's Dull Coat - available through Antenociti (link on the main website home page).
