30 minis in 30 days completed!

These are the last four minis I finished up. I still have a couple in progress that I will work on next month, but I managed to get 30 painted in July. Not as many 25mm as I had hoped, but I probably have more 15mm unpainted in the drawers, so it was good to get a small dent in the pile. 
The last 4 were a mishmash of figs. A vintage Ral Partha, a Heekin casting, Splintered light, and a Blue Moon. 


This is a 25mm vintage Ral Partha - 01-28b (v3b) -  Gremlin War Party version 3 (fig b). The date on the base is stamped Ral Partha 1979. A lot more detail than the original figures in version 1. I did use a little metallic on his shield,sword, and anklets, and did not coat those with the matte varnish.



The knight is a Heekin casting (actually pewter). Its right at 15mm so appears a bit short compared to the 15 -18 mm range I have been collecting. I got 5 of the knights in different poses and shields. They are not highly detailed, but the poses are very action oriented and the weaponry, armor really has that old school feel.

Anna Katanic vs the Scarecrow


The female figure is a Splintered Light mini, and the last of four that I painted as Anna. On a tip from my artist wife, I switched to a blue tone to wash the eyes and skin instead of brown, since she is a red head. I think the result was much better in regards to coloring.

UPDATE

I updated the mini on the right. That was the one I had only a single color for the face because I couldn't get the tone right. Using blue for the eyes came out much better on the first try than the previous attempts with the standard wash colors, so I called it good instead of trying to fine tune it. 

I will get some pictures up with all 30 figures in the next couple of days.
