OK..
had a bit of a painting blst tonight..
didn’t take very long.
One character.. two figures
Faramir from LOTR
I chose to paint him pretty much as he looks in the movie, not he GW style with lost’s of gold to make him stand out from the other knights.
So I primed with VJ black, base dry brushed GW boltgun metal, light dry brushed with VJ bright silver. Painted in the black areas again.
Then I played with the wet pallet to get the face done… not very good but a good table top job. Picked out lips after muted tones from brown to flesh.
No washed whatsoever..ok a little on the hair. Loved mixing the red browns for his Ginger/brown hair. Didn’t get the eyes very good or the intended light complexion.
Heaps of pictures..
On with the show
I will get a better picture of the finished figure up tonight.
note the horse is the horse that came with Mr Ed.. I mean with hte figue when i bought it 2nd hand.. it is in fact a Rohirm horse not a KoMT horse. but lukily I have something to exchange it for.. adn Faramirs horse was brown with a white sock on the right leg. So a horse painting WIP will be done.. and I will use the wet pallet agan .. becasue it is so much fun.. and blend a brown horse with white socks… so much fun!!
Looks good although there are some pictures where I’m left scratching my head wondering if its painted at all. Knights of Gondor do seem to look a bit samey samey and unremarkable in glorious metal onesies. I guess that is why GW bling’d them out a bit.
Yeah the wet pallet does thin your paint, the result of which is the requirement of more layers to get the same coverage. On the upside multiple thin layers is infinitely better from a quality perspective than fewer thick layers however it does require that very precious commodity, time.
