Yea! Here's the mini that I (and Jon) have been waiting for! The last of the Handgunner unit.
I did a teeny bit of orange reflected light on the figures right next to the powder monkey. Not anything crazy, since I have to allow for varied formations.
I tried to take as many shots of the whole unit from as many angles as possible.
I hope you folks have enjoyed the process of making this unit a reality!!!
Plenty more to come!!!
I was able to snap a picture of the hawk that lives on our block. Yes, that is a hawk up near the top of that tree, about 8 houses down from us. I wish every neighborhood had one... it could cut down on the tree and sky rats.
Awesome work! The blue and red just work so well together.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated question: what do you do to prime your miniatures?
Thanks! As you saw in all the previous posts, all of these were primed white.
DeleteWhat color primer I use is determined by the type of miniature and the color that it will be painted.
I always use brush on primer, for a variety of reasons. I never have to worry about the weather, I use a lot less primer, and I can even vary the primer color on the same miniature.
For vehicles, I will usually prime the armor sections white or grey, while the treads or weapons are primed black.
I stick with the white primer, as it does allow techniques like the SE-NMM to shine a bit more.
Absolutely spanking looking unit! Well done indeed, lots of work has gone into these but well worth it.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the kind words, and for taking the time to check out the blog!!
