I thought I would share another one of my fiqures for comment.
Apart from the gold work, on the lions, the fiqure was painted using humbrol enamels. The lions where painted using Game Workshops Acrylics, this was the first and last time that I use these Acrylics.
Looks great. [:D][tup][tup]

great looking , like the colors
Excellent painting [tup]. I agree with you on the Games Workshop acrylics. I now use Vallejo which is great paint.

Nicely done, any info on the figure…manufacturer, scale, etc. I am currently working on 1/72nd Zvezda Russian Knights & Mongols. Also how do you keep the Humbrol Enamels from getting “Gummy”. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Huck
Beautiful work. Dito about Humbrol. Very smooth.
That is one fine looking Knight, thanks for the pic.
To all that replied, thanks for the positive comments.
Rick, Im now working with Vallejo and have to agree with you about them being a great paint.
Huck, the fiqure is Verlinden’s 120mm Scale “English Knight 14th Century” (Kit 1086). I haven’t had a problem with the Humbrol enamels going ‘gummy’, unless the tins aren’t fully sealed. I find that if I keep the top of the tin clean it seals firmly. I believe that also the method I use when using humbrol enamels might also help in preventing the paint from going gummy.
The method I use is:-
Before use I stir the paint in the tin until it is fully mixed this helps to keep the paint pigments in solution, if the paint seams a little thick a add a drop of humbrol thinners.
I don’t paint directly from the tins, I place a small quantity in small container and if required add thinners to obtain the right consistency. I never return this paint to the tin after use.
I hope this helps.
what a master piece , defenatly some talent there…
Nice knight!
With Citadel, I find if you thin slightly with distilled water as you would Vallejo acrylics, they brush very nicely.
cheers

Very nice wayne thanks for the looksee[tup][tup]
Gorgeous job on the painting, Wayne. I do like Humbrol paints too. Did you buff the armor?

mgbriggs, Mike,Jimg and Dan thanks for your positive comments. [}:)]you may be sorry for it gives me encouragement to consider posting more photos of fiqures I have worked in the past and those Im working on now.
Dan, Yes I did use humbrol polishing metal, which was buffed, on the smooth armor, the chainmail was built up from a base of gunmetal which was then dried brushed which various shades of silver.
