Pred's painted Fang Minis
If anyone is wondering, the flag painted on the base on the character
represents their starting location. Let me also add the Rio De Janeiro has the hardest flag to free hand paint... more pics Hope you guys like them, I worked pretty hard on them. Maybe by next week and can post the Villains. ~If we are being chased by Zombies, I'm tripping you!!! |

RE: Pred's painted Fang Minis
I originally had the same idea but chickened out of actually painting the flags when I tried the first.
Really excellent work, Pred. |

@ zombie67, when are you going to post your pics? I was going
to start the Villains last night but I got side tracked with the mobsters. They are a quick easy paint. ~If we are being chased by Zombies, I'm tripping you!!! |

RE: Pred's painted Fang Minis
Painting the bases that way is a master stroke! Was it your idea Pred? You've painted the bases so well they draw attention away from the figures! They must have took you ages but it was well worth it. Your basic coat is going on very neat and smooth. Your shading has plenty of depth. My only tip (if you don't mind me saying) is I think they'd look even better with more highlighting (drybrushing/layering) so you have a good illision of light and dark on the model. Good work all round and yet again...
+1 rep keep at it you're getting better every time! |

RE: Pred's painted Fang Minis
Thanks Trev. Yes it was my idea to paint the flags on the bases, I
wanted to do something unique and add a little extra flavor to them. Only 3 on them were mildly difficult but the Rio state flag, was a night mare. I didn't really post that great a picture of the base (Cartwright) but my wife says its the most impressive when compared to the original. I wish I had a smaller brush for better detail but she thinks it great. All in all, each one all together took 4-5 hours maybe. I've been getting better at mixing 3 of the same color with light to dark for shading, and working at watering down the paint and applying extra coats. Dry brushing is something I just don't feel comfortable or really don't understand if I am doing it correctly yet. Either I wipe to much paint off the brush and brush continuously with out noticing a difference, or don't wipe it off enough and a huge glob of paint goes where I don't want it too, lol, and get super frustrated at having to fix that area. I am still practicing with it so when I get it down Ill come back and add the finishing touches. I brought up 3 different pages from then site last night, 1 with my zombies, 1 with heroes, and then the third with these. Its amazing how you can see the progression. I say this to anyone reading, it's because of the advice Trev gave in his forums about painting AND watching some youtube vids to actually see how its done. ~If we are being chased by Zombies, I'm tripping you!!! |

Amazing! Astounding! Impressive! Those bases are completely off the hook. They look great. It makes me want to try a similar approach if I ever get FANG. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Not sure I have the freehand skills to pull it off, though. You should be very proud of these.
