Last of the Pirates

More stuff from my bench.

I am becoming comfortable with my new job and so I am making more time to pursue my painting skills.

The Green Team

This is the "green team"; the set of figures that have been sitting unpainted for over a year. I primed them with a bunch of others and left them. Only recently did I begin painting again, and these were slapped and group in the green-paint themed set.

The green set is at the faaaaaar right.

I think this sculpt really accepted the paints I had very well.

This is apparently a scout. There's a spyglass at his left hip which you can't see.

I wish this one had teeth. Looks like a blow-up doll with that pose. I tried painting in teeth with a line of white but it looked weird.

This guy I gave auburn hair. The green team has the highest incidence of auburn hair in my minis catalog.

The blank stair of this dude is nice.

I wasn't sure if the guy was a halfling ... very short and stout.

Initially I wanted this figure all in greys and blacks but I decided that it was better as a ranger in forest green. Like the others of the green team, I experimented with layers of green paint and washes to make the clothing look worn and faded.

This is a DnD Minis repaint, I think. Like all of the repaints, including the Reaper Bones figures; the sculpts are very soft. As a result I take extra care in painting in additional details. The wand thing at hand I added some cotton and painted it with green and cast the light against the arm, hair, and body with some of the same green paint.

Next on the Bench

I've got about 6 Reaper Mouslings to paint. 

After that, I've got about 30 repaints for my HeroClix figures and some (about 5 to 10) metal figures in the pulp range. All of those were primed over a year ago and I think it will be a relief when I'm finished.

In storage I'm considering to either continue with the Dunjon of Death figures (all high fantasy sculpts) or to start on my Mythos / Pulp inventory. I'm leaning towards DoD because most of the figures are "The Greenskins"; orcs, goblins gremlins, and kobolds. 

I'll think about it more after I finish my repaints.
