Hey Look LNoE painted up!
Finally got some pictures up..this is my first time ever painting. Once I looked through samuraitrev's painted figures I just had to try it myself. And with a little bit of helpful hints and tips I tried painting. They're not perfect so please go easy on me haha but any type of positive/negative comments are welcome!
And that's that! There are some grey spots now because of storage i'm assuming and a couple games of play..i should use some better varnish I guess "My mama always told me someday I'd be good at something. Who'd a guessed that something'd be zombie-killing?" -Tallahassee |

RE: Hey Look LNoE painted up!
Welcome to the fantastic hobby of painting. I think for your first go at painting you did a good job. Each figure is instantly recognisable. I like the use of extra details such as the Red crosses on Becky, the blood on Jenny's chainsaw, Johnny's badge and buttons. I can also see you tried your hand at shading and highlighting with Father Joseph's flaming torch and his hair. If I could give you a couple of tips.
Make sure you get a good undercoat so the paint sticks to the figures properly and as you said a good varnish will protect your paint job. As you paint your base coat make sure you get a solid colour before you move onto shading it or highlighting it.

Keep it up Zach and happy painting! |

RE: Hey Look LNoE painted up!
Nice! Very good for being your first attempt. I'm keen on painting my figures as well, and even more so after seeing people paint theirs
I think applying an undercoat before painting the minis will help improve your work! Its easier to paint on and makes for a better end result. I'm sure trev's guide can help you there. Best of luck, and practice makes perfect! "What is it about a zombie that appeals to me? I don't know. Maybe that it's just the most possible - I don't know - of all the supernatural entities." - Scott Ian |
