The next bunch of Malcor miniatures, or ‘Phase Green’ as I
call it.
Glass Spiders: The Decanters of Death! Drinks trolleys with
attitude. The globes are supposed to be filled with acid. However I’ve no idea
how to paint realistic-looking liquid and envy those who can. So in the end I
just picked up my brushes and splodged the paint on here and there.
Mantodeus: Giant insects that pounce on the unwary from
their nests. This model was an absolute b*st*rd to put together, with more
drilling, pinning and gluing than I’d happily apply to one mini. As a result I
painted this with little enthusiasm, sticking to a basic all-over green.
Acrisbird: Terror birds from the tropics. I initially went
for a black and white colour scheme on this model, but the end result looked
like a very annoyed turkey, so I went back and, considering that green seems to
be the overarching theme of this batch, went over the black bits with dark
green. Now it looks like an very annoyed parrot!
So .. paint splodging, angry pinning and annoyed turkeys.Well you seem to have had a relaxed painting session, just what one needs to take your mind off the day to day struggles.
ReplyDeleteIt has been rather fraught, I must admit...
DeleteStill, if that's the only thing I've got to complain about, life can't be all that bad :)
That mantis monster and the terror bird look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThanks for the warning JP! I am not a fan of multi-part models just for the sake of it! However your persistence paid off & they all turned out Splodgingly well!
