Vlaai for FIGZ

Mhmmm what is that nice smell?

    This must be that pretty lady my good friend Peter always orders his vlaai from, 

before he comes to FIGZ, and now we understand why.... hahaha 

    I got this figure from my stepson, who printed it for my birthday.

It's a own design, made on a website, and I love it!

    Yeah it's a beautiful lady with a sweet cat who also seems to love cake.

    As you can see I tried to make a floral pattern on her apron.

    To make it a bit different, I did go for a somewhat colorful this time.

    This lady is crazy about colorful patterns...

  I painted the cat a bit in the Aristocat style. Isn't it sweetie...

Now I will focus on FIGZ next week,

got a few Romains to show there!

Thanks for your visit, hope you liked it.

 

 

Keep away from Porky

This butcher has a big problem..

He fell in love with this pig!

and now he's defending his pink friend.

Another fantastic figure from Reaper Bones.

This pig stole my heart when I saw him.

And as a non violent painter the knife was a bit non done,

but if you look at it a little differently, it's not too bad

I decided to make his apron striped, with the pattern on the bag slightly different.

I am very happy with the color choice this time, even if I say so myself.

All the different layers of clothing have their own color.

And of course a pink pig as an eye-catcher

Only the paint for his beard appeared to shine, which was a pity.

I tried to disguise this with some black paint, but this did not work.

I have provided his cap with a white dot from above.

I had a lot of fun painting this figure. 

And I'm happy with the result in the end.

Going to the ball

 

This month a small lady:

Its a fantastic resin printed figure

from Speira Miniatures in scale 20 mm.

It was a long time ago to paint 1/72

and I must say bigger figures I prefer more.

Looks like the figures getting smaller every time,

or is it my bad painting style, hahaha

The figure is amazing with fine details,

even in this small scale.

I chose her for a duel with my good friend Peter:

And thanks to his last vote, it was a draw

He mailed me pictures of before and after voting.

I tried to show some of the details on the umbrella,

but it ruined a bit the overall sweet look.

On the inside I left it white.

The dress I did dry-brush with silver,

can't see it on the photo but it had a cool result.

Never the less, a cool figure to paint,

hard to paint under the umbrella.

But we both had fun.

Ohw the duel was planed a long time ago,

but I lost my figure, so ordered an new one.

Otherwise Peter was still waiting...

Lovely witch

 This month another witch...

I forgot to take a unpainted picture, 

so yo have to do with a gray sprayed figure.

I bought it a few years ago on the Crisis event in Antwerp Belgium

Can't find the brand, but when I do I will edit this post.

A metal figure 28mm it is.

And with some paint they both came alive.

The colors I wanted to use where directly in my mind

A purple/bleu witch and a green baby dragon it was

On the back of the dragon I painted some extra dots

I am very pleased with the result,

and I give them the names of 

2 people I love:

Witch Angélique and her little dragon Jurrepur!

I hope you like the figure in these colors,

now back to my Romains..

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Genius bottle gold paint

Like a lot of fellow figurepainters I use

Vallejo paint, and I took a closer look at 

The label of this gold paint. 

There was a warning written what caught my attention:

Contains Genie....

So I quickly took the cap off, 

and with a cloth I rubbed the bottle...

PFOEF

A real Genie appeared, what a surprise!

This friendly Genie was so glad to be out of this small bottle.

He was so grateful to me that I could make 3 wishes...

Hahaha, I hope you liked this conversion, now step by step how I made it:

I started my conversion again with this

figure form the 1970s Asterix range.

On my search for Romains, 

I had to buy some extra of these...

So always fun to make a special one out of them!

First step was cutting his arms and legs...

The arms just needed another pose, so I drilled a small hole in them.

Then added a part of a paperclip for a solid construction

Another hole in his body, cut the paperclip to the right size

end bend it for the pose I had in mind...

With PVC glue I filled up the holes, and also added a small ring

on his head, around the hair.

Then added a bigger paparclip and tried to make

the right basic for his Genie rope

With Milliput, covered with paper tissue I made the right shape.

Used some Paper shaper to make the tissue hard.

The form looked perfect when dry, so a gray coat spray before painting.

During the painting, I saw I forgot his beard.

So made one from a clip for a plastic bag, and pvc glue...

I also cleaned an empty Vallejo paint bottle

And put some gold paint inside

On my comupter I designed

a new label for the bottle.

My inspiration whas this drawing,

and I must say it turned out well!
