Old Glory Biblicals - WIP

Pulled a marathon and painted up the three bags of OG Biblicals today. These are the Anatolian Spearmen, Philistine and Sherden packs. Here they are freshly stained with Minwax.
They were given a very basic (if not crude) paint job prior to the staining. They are broken down into six separate units.
They'll be given a finish of Testors Dullcote once dried; plan to base them on 40mm squares - four figures per..

  2. Amazing progress and I'd say that your self described standard of "crude" equates to my "best-effort" level.

    Very impressive!

  9. You did WHAT??!! I'm going to slink away now and feel sorry for myself and my thousands of unpainted miniatures. I hear them asking to move to your house.

  11. They look very nice. Perhaps you need to show some crazy close ups so we can all see this 'crudeness'! I wish I could pull that sort of paint job off, even over days. Practice practice! You show me what is possible :) Thanks for the post

  12. Wow Dean! (Howzit bra?) That's a terrific speed painting job - wish I could paint that fast - I've got a horde of Prussians to do - so your speed paint method would be handy! I take it Miniwax is an American stain laquer of some sort that does a similar job to the ridiculously expensive Army Painter? Great job man!

  13. Doc:

    Aloha'z - My buddy painted up a bunch of Perry Prussians using the stain method. They look great. Yes, the brand Minwax is a stain here in the Colonies - the version I use (as most others) is polyurethane acrylic based; not oil/laquer based. The oil/laquer type seems to never dry - at here in the rarely-sunny Pacific NW. The shade most use is Tudor Satin - kind of a blackish-brown tone. Best, Dean
