X-mas girl

Like every year in december

this is my december duel entry in X-mas style

And like most of the times I lost

My opponent had painted her as a Bavarian beer lady, 

really a great job like she walked out of the Ocktoberfest!

But for me it was another Christmas entry

and also my december post on my blog as well

This figure is from Reaper Miniatures

but I missed some details what could have made her better

She is made from metal, the arm with cup had to be glued

The cup was decorates with a dear (Rudolph)

And I must say some parts where extra fun to paint

but for me it was also hard to do it right

Since X-mas is over, and we are getting into 2023

Let's end with the best wishes!

Angélique

 This is my lovely wife Angélique

as you can see she loves squirrels

thats is why she loves to visit my house hahaha

I gave the squirrel a white breast, 

I think those are the nicest ones

this figurine has been digitally composed especially for me

the figure is a 3D print I got from Jurrien

together with a figure of myself

which I already showed in June

I tried to make her as I know her with a mixed shirt,

bleu jeans and fancy shoes

I am happy with the result

and love her as much  like the original

Just look how happy she is!

Arent we a cool couple together.

Thanks for watching, hope to see you next month again 

Chop some wood

This month an old figure from Atlantic set 1012 Sioux camp

of an Indian choping trees

My Belgian friend Peter sent me this one 

with some other non-violent figures from this range

Although I wasn't really in the mood 

to paint a figure this month, it looks quite nice.

Hopefully he has enough wood to communicate 

hahahaha

Thank you for visiting, see you next month

 

Dwarf Wizard

This month another wizard.

The main problem looking for non violent,

you get a lot of wizards as result.

This figure is from the Bones Miniatures range

Dark heaven.

His pose is nice, relax with a pipe in his hand.

Painting him I had some problems with my paint.

It was to watery, and took a long time to dry.

But he came out well, the stick in his other hand I painted

red, wit some yellow and gold. 

A choice I guess is a bit different as usual.

Also this head turned out well.

Thanks for watching,

Hope you like him!

Butlerix

This month another scratch figure

starring a shield bearer from the Asterix range

as Butlerix....

I will show first step by step how I made him:

 

first I cut away his helmet and sword

and then I started on the accessories

From a transparent hard plastic material

I made a tray and a bow tie

This immediately made it clear what the butler would look like

with some PVA glue I made a few buttons on his shirt.

I made his jacket out of paper

Then make a bottle out of a piece of plastic spruel

But I also carefully cut a small cup

 

Then make the cup hollow with a small drill

 

Then glue it to the tray, 

and a napkin over his arm from a simple piece of paper

Finally I painted a few colors on him

He didn't become very colorful,

but he did become a real butler in the end

 

A black jacket, white shirt, and gray striped pants

 

Luckily I was able to add something of color with a silver tray 

on it a green wine bottle and a gold cup

Yes I am happy with the end result.

It was so much fun to make him.

I hope you liked my scratch,

thanks for your visit
