Bergamot, Halfling Scout: Bones 4 Dreadmere Figure

    This past week I painted Bergamot, Halfling Scout, from the Bones 4 Dreadmere Expansion.
    I prepped the figure in the usual way, soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it.  I then glued the figure to a black-primed 1" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue, and then placed the figure in my painting grip.
    I began by painting his face and feet with Reaper MSP "Rosy Flesh" before I realized I hadn't taken a beginning "blank canvas" photo.

      I then painted his pants Accent "Real Umber", and his shirt with Apple Barrel "Lemon Chiffon".  I wasn't sure about the pleats in his pants and whether they were supposed to be armor...they looked like armor, but I thought it odd for him to just be wearing leg armor. For the time being I painted them like some sort of fancy pants. :)  I also painted his vest with Pathfinder MSP "Urgathoa Red"

      Next, I painted his cape with Ceramcoat "Territorial Beige", and his hair (head and feet) with Americana "Asphaltum".  After that, I painted his sword belt with Americana "Light Cinnamon", and his gauntlet with Americana "Faun".

      I then painted the scabbard with Americana "Cranberry Wine", and the metal fittings on it and the belt with Americana "Zinc".   After that, I painted the lamp with Accent "Golden Oxide", and the grip on the sword with Americana "Raw Umber".

     Next, I pained the metal parts of the sword and belt with Folk Art Metallics "Gunmetal Grey", and the lamp and vest buttons with Folk Art "Brushed Metal "Brushed Bronze". I let the paint dry for a while, and then I began with the washes.  First I applied a coat of Citadel "Reikland Feleshade" wash to the face and feet.  When that was dry, I applied Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" to the rest of the figure.
     When all the washes were dry, I began work on the face, painting the eyes and then highlighting all the skin with Reaper MSP "Rosy Highlight".  After that I highlighted the hair with Americana "Sable Brown", and then a little of the "Faun".

     I then highlighted his cape using first Folk Art "Butter Pecan", and then mixing in a little Americana "Bleached Sand" in to the ""Butter Pecan".  I then used the "Bleached Sand" to highlight his gauntlet.  After that, I highlighted his shirt with the base "Lemon Chiffon", and I highlighted his vest and the scabbard with some Americana "Burgundy Wine", mixd with a hint of Crafter's Acrylic "Tutti Frutti".

     Next, I highlighted his pants with some Nicole's "Brown", and his belt with the "Sable Brown".  I then I turned to the lamp.   I first painted the openings with Reaper MSP "Clear Yellow", then placed an area of the "Lemon Chiffon" in each opening followed by a dot of Americana "Snow White".   I then worked on the metals, highlighting the frame of the lamp, and his vest buttons with Ceramcoat "Wedding Gold"; and afterwards, highlighting the sword fittings and leg armor with Citadel "Mithril Silver".  Lastly, I painted the base with Americana "Mississippi Mud".

      I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.    Then, when  the varnish was dry, I used some white glue to flock the base.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's "Dullcote". 

     I'm very happy with how this fellow turned out. He's a great little figure and full of character.

Balazar, Iconic Summoner

     This past week I painted Balazar, Iconic Summoner, from the Bones 2 Heroes II set.  I needed a Halfling cleric for a game I'm running at the upcoming Fall-In gaming convention, and this was the closest thing I had on hand.  I thought he certainly looked the part of a Halfling religious figure all decked put in his ceremonial robes.  Maybe not the best outfit for adventuring, but the rules of his order must be adhered to! :)
     I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it.  The figure is sculpted with a big long mustache, which didn't look very Halfling-like to me; so after washing and drying the figure, I very carefully trimmed off the facial hair with my hobby knife.   I then glued the figure to a black-primed 1" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue, and then placed the figure in my painting grip.

       I began by giving the figure a wash with Reaper MSP "Grey Liner"; and when that was dry, I painted his face and hands with Americana "Shading Flesh".  I then painted his hat and inner sleeves with Crafter's Acrylic "Tropical Blue", and the decoration on the hat as well as the flaps that hang down the sides, with Crafter's Acrylic "Bright Yellow".  I then painted the flaps above the inner sleeves with Americana "Bittersweet Chocolate, and the flaps above those, that go across his neck and chest, with Americana "Khaki Tan".   After that I did his longer robes with Americana "Light Cinnamon", and the longer scarf with Americana "Forest Green".

    Next, I painted his shoes and dagger sheath with Americana "Charcoal Grey", and his pouch with Americana "Mississippi Mud".  I then painted his staff with Crafter's Acrylic "Cinnamon Brown", his blanket roll with Folk Art "Dapple Grey, and his canteen with  Accent "Real Umber.  After that, I painted the fittings on his dagger and sheath with Accent "Golden Harvest", and then let the figure dry for a few hours.  Once it was good and dry, I gave the entire figure a wash with Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" wash.   When the wash was dry, I painted his eyes, and highlighted his face and hands with a mix of the "Shading Flesh" and some Crafter's Acrylic "Flesh".

     I then highlighted his hat and sleeves with apple Barrel "Apple Scotch Blue", and the "Bright Yellow" decorations on it, as well as the "Bright Yellow" flaps, with Crafter'a Acrylic "Daffodil Yellow".  After that, I highlighted the "Khaki Tan" upper sleeve, neck and chest layer with some Americana "Antique White", and the "Forest Green" scarf with Americana "Festive Green".

     Next, I highlighted the lower level of sleeve flaps with Nicole's "Brown", and then the robes with "Folk Art "Teddy Bear Brown".  I did the highlights on the shoes and scabbard with Folk Art "Dark Brown", and the pouch with Folk Art "Barn Wood".   After that, I went around back and highlighted the bed roll with Americanas "Jade Green", the canteen with Crafter's Edition "Spice Brown", and the staff with Americana "Sable Brown".
    I then went back and painted the fittings on the staff and dagger sheath with Ceramcoat "Bronze", and then highlighted with Ceramcoat "14K Gold". Lastly, I painted the figure's integral base with the "Bittersweet Chocolate".
     I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.    Then, when  the varnish was dry, I used some white glue to flock the base.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's Dullcote".

     Well, certainly not the best I've ever done.  I didn't really like this figure; as I started to paint it I found all the layers and flaps of clothes more and more frustrating, as I tried to figure out what went with what: front and back, top and bottom, and even left and right.   I tried to make him look like he belonged to some kind of agricultural based religion; with his clothing representative of the sun and sky, the dirt, and growing things. It kind of all just ends up being a jumbled mess.  I also think I put the wash on too heavily as he looks rather smudgey.    But he's fine for tabletop use, and in the end, that's all I wanted from the figure.

Halfling Cook: Bones 3 Figure

     This past week I painted the Halfling Cook from the Bones 3 Townsfolk set. 
     I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it.    I then glued the figure to a black-primed 7/8" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue.   And, when the glue was dry,  I put it in my Citadel painting grip.

      I began by painting his head, arms, and feet with Americana "Shading Flesh".   I then painted his shirt with Accent "Mustard Seed", his pants with Accent "Real Umber", and his vest with Ceramcoat "Black Cherry".

     Next, I painted his apron and hat with Americana "Dove Grey".  I then did his hair with Crafter's Edition "Spice Brown", and his spoon with Ceramcoat "Territorial Beige".  After everything had a while to dry, I went back and went over his head and feet with a wash of Citadel "Reikland Fleshshade" wash.

    When that wash was dry, I then gave a wash to all his clothing and the spoon with Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" wash.   After I let this second wash I dry, I painted his eyes, and then highlighted his skin areas with a mix of the "Shading Flesh", and some Crafter's Acrylic "Flesh".    Afterwards, I highlighted his hair with Americana "Sable Brown", and the spoon with Americana "Khaki Tan".

     Next, I highlighted his hat and apron with a mix of the "Dove Grey", and Americana "Snow White".   I then highlighted his shirt with a mix of the base "Mustard Seed", and some Crafter's Acrylic "Bright Yellow",and then did the highlights on his vest with some Reaper MSP "Holly Berry".  I followed that with highlighting his pants with Folk Art "Teddy Bear Brown". 
    I then worked on the pot, painting it first Americana "Black", and then painting the soup with Folk Art "Porcelain White".  When the "Porcelain White" was dry, I gave it a wash with some Citadel "Nuln Oil" wash.  When the wash was dry, I added a few highlight dots to the soup with the base "Porcelain White".    I then highlighted the pot with some Americana "Zinc". I finished up by painting the base with Americana "Mississippi Mud".
       I let the figure sit all day, and that evening I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.  The next afternoon I gave the figure a coat of Testor's "Dullcote" spray varnish.

   A fun little figure; nothing to get excited about, but I'm pleased with how he came out. 

Gruff Grimecleaver, Dwarf Pirate Conversion

    A friend was getting rid of some of his extra Bones Kickstarter figures, so I was able to pick up a few extra copies of some of the old favorites I already had.   One of the ones I got, was the Gruff Grimecleaver, Dwarf Pirate, figure from the Bones 1 Pirates set.    I'm in need of a few more height-challenged crew members for the Halfling crew I'm working on, and I figured with a little conversion work I might be bale to have this fellow fitting in as some sort of half-Dwarf and half-Halfling  (Quaterling? :)   ) character.  (Hey, why should Elves and Orcs have all the interspecies fun! :)  ) Maybe his Dad was a sailing Dwarf working one of the beer barges, and mom was a Halfling waitress working in one of the dockside taverns. Who knows where true love will blossom! :)
(Note:  The original version of this figure I painted, from my own Bones 1 Vampire Box, can be seen here: Gruff Grimecleaver.

      Anyway, first thing I needed to do was make him a little more pre-gunpowder in his technology level; so that mean I had to remove the gun.  I decided since Halflings and Dwarves are both notorious eaters, the simplest thing I could do with the gun was to convert it into a drumstick by using a little greenstuff.  I also, trimmed his large mustache way back, since I don't think Halflings are quite as known for large facial hair as dwarves are.  I also tried to trim his boot a little to make it look more like a sandal with bare toes sticking out.  (Assuming he would still have a little of the Halfling urge to have his feet free to the open air.
  Of course, before I did any of the conversion work, I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then I gave it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsed and dried it.  Then, after the converting was done, I glued the figure to a black-primed 1" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue, and when dry, put it into my Citadel painting grip.

      I began by painting his head, arms, and leg with Reaper MSP "Tanned Skin".  I then painted his shirt with Crafter's Acrylic "Navy Blue", and his pants with Ceramcoat "Territorial Beige".

    Next, I painted his beard and hair with Crafter's Edition "Spice Brown", and then did his bandana with Apple Barrel "Apple Maple Syrup".  I then painted his apron with Americana

"Neutral  Grey", and then did his belts and pouch with Nicole's "Brown".  After that, I painted his sandal with Folk Art "Teddy Bear Brown", and then did his wooden leg and cleaver handle with Americana "Asphaltum".  I also did his pipe using Americana "Dove Grey".

      I then painted polka dots on his bandana with "Deep Tomato Red", and then painted his knife handles and spice pouch with Americana "Raw Umber.  Next, I painted the top of the drumstick with Reaper MSP "Turkey Brown", and the bone part with Americana "Bleached Sand".  After that, I painted the cleaver blade, belt buckle, sharpener(?) hanging from his belt, and knife hardware with Americana "Zinc"; and also painted his wristband and bracelet withAmericana "Terra Cotta".   I let everything dry for a while, and then I gave the entire figure a wash with Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" wash.

      When the wash was dry, I painted his eyes, and then highlighted his skin with Reaper MSP "Tanned Highlight". I then highlighted his beard and hair with Americana "Sable Brown", then highlighted his bandana with Apple Barrel "Apple Parchment".  After that, I added a little highlight to the dots on the bandana with Reaper MSP "Holly Berry".  I then highlighted the pipe with the base "Dove Grey", and highlighted the top of the drumstick with Accent "Mustard Seed", and the bone with the base "Bleached Sand".

     Next, I highlighted his shirt with Americana "True Blue", and highlighted his pants with Folk Art "Butter Pecan".   I then highlighted his apron with the base "Neutral Grey", and his belt, pouch and sandal with the"Teddy Bear Brown".   I highlighted the axe handle with Americana "Mississippi Mud".
    I then painted the axe, belt buckle, knife fittings and knife sharpener(?) hanging from his belt all with "Gunmetal Grey", and when dry, highlighted those pieces with  Ceramcoat "Metallic Silver".
     Lastly, I painted the figure's base with Ceramcoat "Walnut".
     I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.    Then, when  the varnish was dry, I used some white glue to flock the base.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's Dullcote".

      I like how the figure turned out.   I can just hear him saying, "Now, here's some treasure!", as he eyes the big drumstick! :)

Dingo, Halfling Rogue: Bones 3 Figure

   I continued to work on my Halfling Crew this week, and Painted Dingo, Halfling Rogue, from the Bones 3 Core set.    I was a bit surprised as I studied this figure to see that it is the same base figure as Woody Stumpwimple, Halfling Ranger, that I painted last week; with the both the torso and legs being exactly the same.   I wonder how often Reaper does this kind of reuse with figure bodies?
        I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it.    I then glued the figure to a black-primed 7/8" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue.   And, when the glue was dry,  I put it in my Citadel painting grip.

      I began by giving the figure a thinned wash of Reaper MSP "Brown Liner".  When the wash was dry, I painted the lower armor with Black, and when the Black was dry, I drybrushed it with Folk Art Metallics "Gunmetal Grey".  I then painted his (or her?  I'm not sure!) face, feet, and hands with Reaper MSP "Tanned Skin."

     Next, I painted the shirt with Accent "Golden Harvest", and then the torso armor, and wrist guards with Americana "Asphaltum".   I then painted the sash with Ceramcoat "Black Cherry", and his/her hair with Americana "Terra Cotta".

     Next, I worked on all the stuff the figure is carrying.  I realized at this point the figure was carrying a bow and quiver (A rogue?), so I carefully cut off the fletchings on the quiver, and tried to make it look like some sort of long thin case.  I also lopped the end off the bow, and figured I treat the lower half of the bow case as his/her scabbard.   I then painted the backpack with Accent "Real Umber", and the blanket roll with Folk Art Dapple Grey".  After that, I painted the ex-quiver with Reaper MSP "Turkey Brown", and the canteen with Crafter's Edition "Spice Brown".  Where I cut away the fletchings and there was little lumpy spot left, I just covered it with some Americana "Mississippi Mud".   I then painted the "scabbard" with the Black Cherry", and then painted the sword and the metal bits on the scabbard with Americana "Zinc".

        Then, after everything had a while to dry, I gave his body a wash with  Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" wash, and the face hands, and legs a wash with Citadel "Reikland Fleshshade" wash.   When the washes were dry, I painted his eyes, and then highlighted the face with Reaper MSP "Tanned Highlight", then did some further detial highlights by adding a little White to the "Tanned Highlight".  Next, I highlighted his/her hair with some Accent "Golden Oxide", and then mixed a little Ceramcoat "Maple Syrup Tan" to do lighter highlights.

       Next, I highlighted his shirt with Crafter's Acrylic "Bright Yellow", and his sash with Folk Art "Burgundy".   I then highlighted his leather armor with the Accent "Golden Oxide", and his belts and backpack with the "Mississippi Mud".  After that, I highlighted his blanket roll with Folk Art "Gray Green",  and his ex-quiver and canteen with Americana "Sable Brown".   I then painted the sword, scabbard fittings, and the small oval plate on his/her chest with the "Gunmetal Grey", and when dry, highlighted it with  Ceramcoat "Metallic Silver".
     Lastly, I painted the figure's base with Ceramcoat "Walnut".
     I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.    Then, when  the varnish was dry, I used some white glue to flock the base.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's Dullcote".

    I'm happy with how this Halfling turned out.  I think he'll make a good edition to my Halfsized-Heroes Crew.

Woody Stumpwimple, Halfling Ranger: Bones 2 Figure

     This past week I painted the Woody Stumpwimple, Halfling Ranger, figure from the Bones 2 Core Set.   I plan to use this figure as a Scout in a Ghost Archipelago Crew I am building made up of Halflings and Gnomes.
      I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it.    I then glued the figure to a black-primed 7/8" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue.   And, when the glue was dry,  I put it in my Citadel painting grip.

     I began by giving the figure with a thinned wash of Reaper MSP "Brown Liner".  When the wash was dry, I painted the lower armor with Black, and when the Black was dry, I drybrushed it with Folk Art Metallics "Gunmetal Grey".  I then painted his face, feet, and hands with Reaper MSP "Tanned Shadow" and his torso armor with Citadel "Snakebite Leather".

     Next, I painted his coat with Reaper MSP "Christmas Wreath", and his gloves with Ceramcoat "Territorial Beige".  I then painted his belts and quiver with Americana "Sable Brown", and his pouch with Americana "Khaki Tan".  After that, I painted his bow with Crafters Edition "Spice Brown", and the fletchings on his arrows with Americana "Dove Grey".

    I painted his hair (both head and feet) with Crafter's Acrylic "Cinnamon Brown",  and the fasteners on his coat with Folk Art "Barn Wood".  Then, after the figure had a while to dry, I came back and I gave the body a wash with Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" wash, and the face a wash with Citadel "Reikland Fleshshade" wash.   When the washes were dry, I painted his eyes, and then highlighted the face with Reaper MSP "Tanned Skin" and some Reaper MSP "Tanned Highlight".  After that, I painted his sword, first with Americana Zinc", and then with the "Gunmetal Grey".

     I then worked on the highlighting his coat using Americana "Leaf Green", and his leather armor with Ceramcoat "Maple Sugar Tan".  I highlighted the gloves with the "Khaki Tan", and the belts and quiver with Americana "Mississippi Mud".  I highlighted the bow with Folk Art "Teddy Bear Fur", and the Fletchings with White. The pouch I highlighted with Crafter's Edition "Taupe", and the coat's fasteners I highlighted with the base "Barn Wood".   I finished up by highlighting the metal with Ceramcoat "Metallic Silver".
     Lastly, I painted the figure's base with Ceramcoat "Walnut".
     I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.    Then, when  the varnish was dry, I used some white glue to flock the base.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's Dullcote".

     I'm really happy with how this little guy turned out, though I don't think his Dullcote dried dull enough.  I may have to respray him.

Undead Halfling Rogue & Conversion: Bones 3 Figures

    This past week I finished working on my current project of painting the Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings from my two Bones 3 Add-On Undying Lords sets; and painted the Halfling Rogue; one basic one, and one I modified by changing the sword  to a spear, and removing the axe.  There are still the Undying Lord of Death, the Undying Minotaur and Undying Lizardfolk from these sets; but they will all have to wait for another time.
     To read last week's post where I painted the two Undead Dwarf Fighters, click here: Undead Dwarf Fighters.  To see my two Undead Elf Archers from two weeks ago, click here: Undead Elf Archers
      I prepped these figures in the usual way; soaking them in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving them a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying them.   I then did the conversion work, and then glued the figures to black-primed 7/8" fender washers with Aleene's Tacky glue, and then glued the washer-mounted figures to a tongue depressor with a couple drops of the Elmer's glue under each washer.

       I began by painting the metal parts, and skeletal parts with Black.  I then drybrushed the skeletal parts with Americana "Antique White", followed by a light drybrushing of Crafter's Acrylic "Light Antique White"

     Next, I painted the shirt on the lefthand one with Americana "Khaki Tan", and then did his pants with Crafter's Acrylic "Forest Green", and his cape with Aleene's "Deep Khaki".  I then moved on to the righthand one, and did his shirt with Accent "Golden Harvest", his pants with Vallejo "USA Olive Drab", and his cape with Anita's "Burnt Sienna".

      I then painted the spear shaft, and axe handle with Americana "Mississippi Mud", and then painted all the metal parts with Americana "Bittersweet Chocolate".  I also used this color to paint the grip on the sword.  Then after everything had a while to dry, I gave the two figures a wash with Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" wash, doing as best I could to avoid getting any on the skeleton parts.

     Once the wash dried, I began highlighting.  I worked on the lefthand one first, highlighting his shirt with Americana "Bleached Sand", his pants with Americana "Jade Green", and his cape with Apple Barrel "Apple Maple Syrup".  Next I did the righthand one, highlighting his shirt with Apple Barrel "Lemon Chiffon", his pants with Ceramcoat "Territorial Beige", and his cape with Americana "Burnt Orange".  Next, I worked on the rust effects on the weapons, first using Duncan Aged Metal "Iron" to apply some reddish rust patches, and then applying some Accent "Golden Oxide".  I also did a little highlighting on the spear shaft with Folk Art "Barn Wood".  Lastly,  I painted their integral bases with Americana "Charcoal Grey".
     When I was done painting the figures, I used some white glue to glue a mixture I made of some fine brown sand, and courser black sand to the base.  When this was dry, I drybrushed the sand and the figures' own bases with Ceramcoat "Territorial Beige", and then with some Americana "Antique White".  When dry, I glued on some bits of grass tufts.
      I let the figures dry overnight and the next day I gave them a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed them with Testor's Dullcote"

     I'm really pleased with how these guys turned out.  I'm looking forward to having a chance to use all these different skeletons in a game at some point.

Lem, Iconic Bard: Figure 246 of 266

     Over the weekend I finished up Lem, Iconic Bard, from the Iconics II Pathfinder Miniatures set. I'm happy to say that completing this figure marks the 20 figures remaining point of my goal. It also means just one figure remaining in the Iconics II Pathfinder Miniatures set.
        I prepped the figure in the usual way; soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish- soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it.  I then glued the figure to a black-primed 1" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue, and then glued the washer-mounted figure to a tongue depressor with a couple drops of the Elmer's glue.

     I began by giving the figure a wash with Reaper "Brown Liner" using a wet brush.  This was to help bring out the details so I could see them better.   When that was dry, I painted all his skin with Americana "Mocha".  Next, I painted his pants with Americana "Sable Brown", and then painted his shirt with Americana "Dove Grey", and his coat with Ceramcoat "Black Cherry".

      Next, I painted the lining and facings on his coat with Accent "Golden Harvest", and then painted his sash with Crafter's Acrylic "Purple Passion". After that I painted his large pouch with Crafter's Edition "Spice Brown", and the smaller pouch next to it with Apple Barrel "Burnt Sienna".  I also painted the knife handle with Accent "Raw Umber". and his bandaged hand with Americana "Bleached Sand".   At that point I realized he had bare feet, and I painted those with the "Mocha".

            I pulled out the "Purple Passion" again and gave him spats that matched his sash; then I painted his hair with Folk Art "Dark Brown".  Next, I painted the knife blade and flute with Folk Art "Silver Sterling".   I then hit his necklace with some Ceramcoat "Bronze".    Then, after everything had a while to dry, I experimented with giving the figure a wash again with the "Brown Liner" applied with a wet brush, instead of my usual Citadel "Agrax Earthshade".    I wasn't very happy with how it dried, as it ended up making the figure look really dirty.

    Next, I painted his eyes, and then highlighted his skin with the base "Mocha"; and followed up by highlighting his hair with  the "Sable Brown".  I then highlighted his shirt with White, and his coat with a mix of Americana "Burgundy Wine" and Crafters Acrylic "Tutti Frutti".  Then I highlighted his pants and large pouch with Americana "Khaki Tan", and his jacket lining and facings with Apple Barrel "Yellow".  After that I did his sash and spats with Apple Barrel "Apple Lavender" and then did his bandaged hand with Crafter's Acrylic "Light Antique White".  Lastly, I highlighted his flute and knife blade with the Silver Sterling", then painted his integral base with Ceramcoat "Walnut".
           I let the figure dry over night and the next day I gave it a coat of Ceramcoat "Matte Varnish" and, when dry, flocked the base.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's Dullcote".

     Well, he's not my best or favorite figure, but he's serviceable for gaming purposes.  It's such an odd little figure, it will be interesting to see if I ever have cause to use him in a game.

Figure 246 of 266: Complete
