Having painted Scope for my last entry I thought I might just as well crack on and finish the remaining five Chancers. So after almost five years the whole gang is finally reunited.
To mark the occasion I also took a group shot with all 12 of them. My painting style has evolved over the intervening year but they work together well enough. In fact the Chancers were the first figures I painted using a wet palette instead of painting straight from the pot.
And while I was at it anyway I also dug up a (luckily poor) picture of their previous paint job... I thought them rather smashing back then at the start of the 21st century. 20 years on and I'm not that convinced anymore. Probably all down to the nicer background for my photo shoots ;-)
OK, that's it for today. Hope you all had a good start into the new year!
Lovely bunch of chancers,your usual excellent finish!

Very nice Martin. But where’s their Chimera? ;-)
ReplyDeletethese are gobsmackingly well done, how much they have improved. You can be very proud. I am in the process of re-painting my First a d Only and hope to do them even half as good as your Chancers...
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work, Nick. It's a real treat to see these figures, and also balance that alongside how your painting style has evolved. Isn't it just great to look back at that journey? Terrific stuff!!
