Finished up the Verlinden 120mm figure. He's on a temporary base until I can find a more suitable one - smaller.
I used Vallejo acrylics for the entire figure, and pretty much painted him up like how I would a smaller figure. Painting the separate parts and then putting them together afterward.
The great helm and cap of maintenance with royal lion crest makes him look a bit top heavy, but that's probably realistic.
As I mentioned in the previous post, the heraldic lions on the jupon had shallow outlines, which assisted in their painting.
Henry was a great-grandson of Henry III and campaigned in Scotland and Flanders. He was at the Battles of Sluys and Crecy, as well as the Siege of Calais. He died of the Black Plague in 1360.
Here he is below alongside a Front Rank 28mm mounted figure painted in the same arms.
That was a nice little project and now I can concentrate on the Bolt Action game I'm hosting this Friday. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best in the hobby!
What an amazing job Dean, bravo Sir.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Michael! Appreciate the kind compliment. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteFabulous Dean, and great brushwork on that miniature!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy paint in by larger figures, although the faces can be daunting I think.
Cheers

Thanks, Matt. As for faces - love it when they're wearing a great helm! :) Lol! Kind regards, Dean
DeleteYes, why medieval figures are popular with me also!
DeleteCheers
Matt
Wow! Fantastic looking miniature, Dean! You did it great!
ReplyDelete(it seems a bit odd for me to call it a miniature in compare with 28mm)
Cheers!
Thank you, Dmitry - yes, the 120mm seems kind of a statuette in size. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWonderful looking figure, really nice painting!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain

ReplyDeleteThank you much, Phil! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic painting Dean, really impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Mike! Best regards, Dean
DeleteReally gorgeous work, Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Jonathan. Hope you're not in too much pain and healing well. Best regards, Dean
DeleteHe's looking absolutely gorgeous. One day I might try my hand on such a big figure or a bust as well. Need only find the courage.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Nick. I'm a quite sure your talented brushwork would translate well to larger scales. This particular figure can be found on ebay for about $25.00. Not a bad price for a "practice" figure :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteIt’s a real beauty Dean! Love the comparison with the 28mm version.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike! Best regards, Dean
DeleteOh my, that is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Ray! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteImpressive! I tackled a much more simple 54mm display figure and that was a major project for me--it took me weeks to get it done. Nice display of craft and painting skill here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ed. Appreciate your visit and nice comment. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteBeautiful miniature Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Michal. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteLovely figure......like the comparison the the smaller version 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. Appreciate the visit and kind words. Best regards, Dean
DeleteGreat work on this Dean, don't think I would have the skill or patience to tackle the big stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Scrivs. I painted the separate pieces much like individual 28mm figures. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWonderful job, Dean! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Sergey. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent, Dean! Very nice result
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Vasiliy. Best regards, Dean
DeleteWow, that came together really nice. I like the comparison shot of the 28mm with it. Dwarfed!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kevin
Thanks, Kevin. Yes, quite a size/scale difference. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteDean that is a stunning job you have done there. I love the way you can see exactly how the 14th century harness has been put together as well. Great work mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the kind words, Oli! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteP.S. I like the studded velvet covered legs! :)
