Hi there ebob, sorry I have been really busy with exams, and teeth sculpting .
Anyway, I have finished my rebellion Scottish house, and have WIP wallace.
Pics are rubbish, but my good camera is in for repair until next Saturday.
Anyway some pics:






That is all for now I think they should work. My wallace is converted, but you ill have to wait till next week for some better pics.

PS I love the new Bruce on horse!

Interesting to see that you paint from a white base coat.
I used to do the same until I learned to use a black base coat.
You should give it a go.
See the painting guides here.

Nice house!

@ebob
I thought white and black are used for different kind of models?

[eBob]

I always use black. Even my white horse started black, then dark brown, then light brown, then cream and finally white.

Why? am I mad? or do I wish I had a penny for every person that said 'how do paint so good'.





Starting from black prevents the miniature from 'glowing' at you.
If you paint your elves white then do the cloak green, the green will scream at you and look dreadful and false. If you start from black and build up the green finishing with the highlights, the black kills the glow and the colour will look more natural. Sure it might take longer, and you have to put a few more coats of paint on, but that's how its done. Keep the paint thin and apply several coats.

Well the truth is that I ran out of black spray paint. Excellent observation EBOB.

I actually ended up painting Chaos black over all of the stone work. The model is made of dense foam, which has little bubbles in it. When sprayed these areas are covered, but using paint by a brush (choas black) for some reason does not enter these areas. So on the pic you can see small areas of white, that I could not paint. I think it is to do with the polar forces of water and paint, resulting in the paint molcules repelling each other.

Thanks for the comments, and once again-excellent observational skills ;D

I was also referring to the miniatures.

I think the thatch on the roof is a little too dark. Otherwise, they look great. Can't wait for better pics of the minis.

I love the eyes on the normal scot.

Why does wallace have two swords?

The scot looks way too tan for scotland also.

All in all, nice job, but not my favorites.
