More British paras- Warlord games

I had finished painting those British paratroopers just before the Christmas holidays, but didn't have time to flock them. It was done yesterday evening and I can now show them to you. Remember it was a commission job for Feodalfig, as he had won the prize draw. Now I'll be able to send them to him.



J'avais termine ces paras Warlord games juste avant les vacances. Cependant, je n'avais pu les floquer. C'est chose faite depuis hier soir, et je peux donc vous les montrer. Il s'agissait d'une "commande" de la part de Feodalfig. En effet, il avait gagne le droit de se faire peindre quelques figs lors de ma petite loterie. Je vais donc pouvoir lui envoyer.

First batch of British paras

5 down, 6 more to finish. Feodalfig had sent me 11 Warlord games British paras to paint. I've finally managed to paint some more, and finish the 5 of them who were wearing a beret. The other 6 wear helmets, and they should be soon finished, hopefully. I took the pictures a bit earlier and the varnish wasn't quite dry. But strangely enough, it is still a bit shiney, although I'm using a matte one. Hmm. All in all, I like them, they were easy enough to paint. But so far, I prefer the Crusader and Foundry minis. Now for the basing ...

5 de faits, plus que 6 a terminer. Feodalfig m'avait envoye 11 Paras anglais de chez Warlord. J'ai enfin reussi a en terminer 5, et les 6 autres ( qui portent un casque) sont en passe d'etre finis egalement. J'ai pris les photos un peu auparavant, et le vernis n'etait pas completement sec. il est toujours encore un peu brillant, alors que j'utilise du mat. Etrange. Les peindre fut satisfaisant. Elles sont agreables et ps trop compliquees, meme si je prefere de loin les Foundry et Crusader. Il me reste encore le soclage a faire...

Some preparations during the holidays

I often read bloggers saying they would paint more than usual because they're on holidays. How true I would like that to be. My holidays are at the same time as my daughter's, who is 3 1/2... So, while convenient because I won't have to pay someone to take care of her, it also means I won't have time for myself, except when she's asleep from 8.45PM. And by then I'll be exhausted; she's so energetic.

Je lis souvent que les bloggueurs vont avoir le temps de peindre maintenant qu'ils sont en vacances. J'ainerais que cela soit vrai. Les miennes tombent en meme temps que ma petite, qui est une vraie pile Duracel de 3 1/2 ans. Bref, si c'est economique, c'est crevant et surtout je ne peux prendre le pinceau qu'a partir de 20.45, une fois qu'elle dort, et donc je suis un chouia mort de fatigue. Donc on verra.

Tommy's dressed for war: my British para test

I managed to finish painting my test mini for Feodalfig. I quite like the way I did it. I listened to your advices and looked on the internet too. To be honest, it was quite easy. As soon as I have enough time, I'll post the recipe/ colours I used: I've started writing down my combinations in a file simply called " Seb's cookbook". If you like this mini, tell me and I'll post my palette. Hmm, after having seen those pics, I've found a few mistakes. Damned!

Cheers









Et voila. J'ai reussi a trouver le temps pour terminer la fig test pour le cadeau de Feodalfig. J'espere que cela vous satisfait. J'ai bien ecoute vos conseils et farfouille le net pour me creer ma palette perso. Si cela vous tente, je mettrai en ligne mes couleurs choisies. Bon, je vais avouer que les gros plans mettent en evidence les defauts.

A+
