From PeteB - Challenge 16 Wrap-up

Thank you Curt, Lady Sarah and the minion for organising this challenge. Again it was great fun and I'm already making plans for the next challenge. And I'm happy with what this challenge is painted in scales 20, 28 and 54 mm.

Two figures are missing in the group shot, but they are at their new home in Germany. My friend was very pleased with them. Pictures of them here.

This is the final count for this challenge:

- 20 mm = 21 figures and 6 horses

- 28 mm = 3 figures and 1 horse

- 54 mm = 20 figures

And a cat and a dog! 😺🐶

Thanks for watching!

From PeteB - Paulus Miniatures - The little lady and the cat - 10 Points

This is my last contribution for this years challenge. And as I wanted to paint at least one other female figure, after my Bonnie I decided to paint this nice little girl from Paulus Miniatures with her cat "Gaston"! The girl is a 3D printed figure and 54 mm high. On this little vignette will be added some more figures but not this challenge. I don't get them ready. But I hope you like this little lady that is dreaming and watching her cat.

The piece of scenery (7 x 4,5 cm) comes with the lady. The cat is part of a medieval soldier running around his legs. I choose the name of the cat "Gaston" because our first cat was a white one. He's been always in our minds and harts, and now he is visual in this little figure. The base (10 x 6 cm) is a print from miniatuurwereld.com.
I used a lot of grey and some earth colours for the base and the wall, and the window shutters in blue to get some more color on the vignette.

Points: 1 x 54 mm Foot figure = 10 Points.

___________________________

I really like this vignette, Pete! How very whimsical and introspective. I like that you drew upon your family and your past pet for inspiration on this. I also appreciate how you did the stonework by introducing browns and tans and the shutters in blue to give the piece more warmth and colour. Really lovely work and I'm going to give a few bonus points for the terrain. I hope next year you can show us the completed piece. Well done!

From PeteB - Reconquer Designs -St. Raimundo de Fitero - 15 Points

A small contribution wit some figures from Reconquer Designs, kindly given by my friend Michele Gentile. The figures are 3D printed with some very nice details. Some information about the monk St. Raimundo de Fitero can be found here! Cause of the bad weather I couldn't take pictures in daylight. I did the best I could taking photo's inside.

Thanks for watching!

Points:

- 1 x 28 mm mounted figure = 10 Points

- Total                                   =  15 Points

Great little vignette Peter! Love how you used the simple dynamics of the figures to let them tell a story. The natural olours worked out great as well and really enhance the sculpting of these figures. Great work all round Peter, hope you have more of this comming!

Cheers Sander 

 

From PeteB - Jean Hoefler Cowboys - 30 Points

 I was painting one of these figures for my confederate soldiers collection when a friend from Germany mentioned this figure as his favorite Jean Hoefler figure, and he called him "Fuzzy". Not knowing who was "Fuzzy" I started painting the same figure as a gift for him. So that is why you see two identical figures. The one with the sand color base is a gift for him.

Pity of his damaged nose.

 But that isn't the end of the story. I was to curious so I wanted to know, who is "Fuzzy". So i asked him and he sended me this picture. Ladies and gentlemen, meet "Fuzzy". Never heard or seen this guy but I like this funny guy already! 

So with this mystery solved, and as this is a painting challenge, I wanted to paint another one just like on the picture and now you can see the final result here. This one will also go to my friend in germany as a mystery gift. 

Thanks for watching!

Points: 3 x 54 mm foot figure = 30 Points

PS: I raise my target points to 500 Points!

From PeteB - Archers - 44 Points

In this post three small projects that come together.

1. Reamsa - Medieval Archer - 54 mm

This figure came with his head of the body, so I first had to repair that before painting. As Reamsa is a Spanish company I gave him a little touch with red and yellow, colors of the Spanish flag. 

2. Britains - Medieval Archer - 54 mm

Like the previous figure of Reamsa, this Britains figure came also in a bad condition. Don't know who gave this figure a base coat, but it took away almost all the details. So it needed some cleaning before painting. This one is painted, it's a Britain, with blue, red and some white, the colors that are also in the British flag.

3. Giant - Indians on horse - 20 mm

These figures missed the cut for the "Toy Story" theme round. That's why I post them here. As said these are 56 years old and for their age they painted really nice. And there is one archer, so it fits the top title! 😊

A grand entry today Peter! You have really revived these old toys excellently. I must say the Archer most, very good.
