Minwax stained these figures from the English Army 1415-1429 box. There are also 12 fully armored men at arms in the set which I may use for early Wars of the Roses, as I already have a lot of Black Tree Design men at arms and foot knights for the HYW.
Below, the figures block painted, before the staining. Vallejo Off-White, Bonewhite, and Buff were used for the padded jackets. Muted blue, green, and red were used for the clothing, including the cowls. A very limited palette, but the colors should tie them together. Also, added a few heads from the WotR sets, including the kettle helm, which may not have been the first choice for a bowman, but I liked the look.
Trusty can of Minwax Tudor Satin Stain.
Just a quick project since I needed to have appropriate bowmen for the period. They're based on washers and can be used for skirmish games.
Looking good, Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan! The kit has been out for a few years, but just got my first one - as expected from Perry, excellent figures. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb Dean. What a difference the Minwax makes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard. I suppose the moniker, "miracle dip" is justified. 😀 Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteAs always--amazing work! I like that you show some of the steps. The Minwax idea is genius. --Gary in Texas
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Gary. Appreciate the visit and your kind words. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThey look great as always Dean - the Miniwax particularly enhances the faces, but all areas of the figures are the better for having it applied!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. Yes, the stain really details the face and hands nicely. I usually give those areas a final flesh wash to soften the tone too. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteMedieval warfare and you need lots of bowmen 👍
