I ended up with very little painting time this week; so by Thursday, I realized I wouldn't be able to get a figure done. My solution was to pull out the Familiars Set and selected the two simplest: the Bat and Cat.
I prepped the figures in the usual way; soaking them in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving them a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying. I then glued them each to a 5/8" black-primed fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue.
I began by painting the figures both completely with Black. I then drybrushed both with Folk Art "Settlers Blue"
Next, I painted two pin point eyes on the bat with GW "Blood Red". I then did eyes on the cat by painting them DecoArt "Wild Green", and then adding Black slit pupils. I finished by painting the inside of the cat's ears with Americana "Shading Flesh".
After the figures had overnight to dry, I gave them a coat of Ceramcoat "Matte Varnish". The next morning I flocked the bases, and that afternoon I sprayed them with Testor's "Dullcote" spray varnish.
Not the most stunning of figures, but just the thing to get done during a busy week.

Nice! I've got this set of familiars. The cat is due for a color change soon.
