Townsfolk Waitress: Bones 4 Figure

     This past week I selected the Waitress from the Bones 4 Core Set Townsfolk group to work on .
     I prepped the figure in the usual way, soaking it in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it.  I then glued the figure to a brown-primed 1" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue, and then placed the figure in my painting grip.

     I began by painting her head and hands with Reaper MSP "Rosy Skin".  I then painted her dress with Pathfinder MSP "Urgathoa Red", and her apron with Americana "Grey Sky".

     Next, I painted her hair with Americana "Snow White" (Because I wanted to try using Citadel Contrast paint on it), and I did her corset with Accent "Midnight Blue".  After that, I painted her tray with Americana "Light Cinnamon", and then painted most of the items on the tray with Americana "Neutral Grey".  I pained the wooden spoon and knife handle with Ceramcoat "Territorial Beige", and the food stuffs a variety of browns and greens. 

      Then, when everything had had a chance to dry, I gave her skin a coat of Citadel "Reikland Fleshshade" wash, and her apron, and the items on the tray, a coat of Citadel "Nuln Oil" wash.    After that, I applied some Citadel Contrast "Wyldwood" to her hair.

      Next, when everything had dried, I painted her eyes and eyebrows, and highlighted her skin with Reaper MSP "Rosy Highlight", and then some of the "Rosy Highlight" mixed with a little of the "Snow White".     I then highlighted her hair with Americana "Mississippi Mud", and a little Americana "Fawn".   after that, I highlighted her dress with the "Urgathoa Red" mixed with some Crafter's Acrylic "Orange Spice".

     I then highlighted her apron with the "Snow White", and her corset with some Folk Art "Cloudy Day".  I followed this with highlighting the tray with the "Territorial Beige", and then painted the cup and dishes with Accent "Princely Pewter". I highlighted the spoon and knife handle with a little Americana "Khaki Tan''.  Lastly, I painted her base and the washer with the "Territorial Beige".

      I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed the figure with Testor's Dullcote".

   I'm generally pleased with how this one came out.  It was a nice simple figure to work on.

Runehorn Hut: Bones 4 Lost Valley Figure

   Yay, I'm back!  Over the past month, as I was furiously slapping paint on a couple hundred Wars of Ozz figures, I also started to work on the Bones 4 "Runehorn Hut" from the Lost Valley expansion. Unfortunately, since I was working on it in a haphazard, pick it up now and then, kind of way; I didn't do a good job of recording what specific colors I used for the whole thing.
     I prepped the hut in the usual way, soaking it and the little bowls that come as a separate piece, in a dish of water with a couple drops of dish-soap added, then giving the pieces a light scrub with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing and drying it.  I then glued the bowls in place with Gorilla Superglue gel, and then glued the figure to the top of a large pill bottle with a couple drops of Elmers white glue.

      I began by applying some Citadel Contrast "Snakebite Leather" to a couple of the skin sections.  I realized at that point I should probably lay down a white undercoat, so I went back and painted the rest of the model with Americana "Snow White".

      I then applied several more shades of Citadel Contrast, including "Creed Camo", "Wyldwood", and "Basilicanum Grey".

      I did the fur with stripes on the top with Citadel Contrast "Aggaros Dunes" and then Citadel Contrast "Black Templar".  I was running out of Contrast colors that I owned at this point, so started doing the rest of the hides and furs with regular paint, such as the Americana "Neutral Grey" that's visible on the corner of the hut.

      I then did the tusks and bones using Citadel Contrast "Skeleton Horde".  It came out a little darker than I liked so I drybrushed it with a little Americana "Bleached Bone". I also thought the fur roof was a little too flat, so I carefully drybrushed the "Aggaros Dune" with some Americana "Antique White", and the "Templar Black" with some of the "Neutral Grey". After that, I used regular paint to paint the three bowls on the side, and some Americana "Mississippi Mud" to paint the lashings.

      Next, I painted the contents of the bowls, then went over the bowls, and lashings and the borders between some of the skins and the tusks, with Citadel "Agrax Earthsahde" wash.

 Here's another view.

     I then highlighted the lashings with some Americana "Fawn", and after that, I painted the base with Folk Art "Teddy Bear Brown".  Lastly, I did some highlights on the base with some Americana "Khaki Tan".
         I let the hut dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.    Then, when  the varnish was dry, I applied some tufts around the hut.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's "Dullcote".

  While I was never totally satisfied with the hut as I was working on it, I think it came out looking okay in the end.   It was little cold and damp when I applied the Dullcote, so the figure still has a bit of sheen.  I'll have to go back and Dulcote it again when the weather improves.

No New Bones Again This Week

    Just a note to let readers know, that once again my painting time was taken up with getting Ozz figures ready for Cold Wars.  That's pretty much going to be the drill until after the con, so I will not by posting again until March 23, when I will be back to regular posting with new Bones.  My apologies for the break in regular posts.
