I have to admit i love these Aventine miniatures they are really nice clean smooth figures, I've never painted an Elephant in 28mm before and have to say it's not that easy and i'll have to really think through a few things before i tackle the next one. I've started to base up the Aventine Carthaginian Veterans ths morning but promised my wife no painting this weekend. Oh well
I have to finish this shield on the back I've order LBM transfers but i'll just paint this oneI think i will put a shield on the Drivers arm
I stole the idea of a few things that i did from Bennet's wonderful work of art on the Aventine site like the shield in the picture below of course mine isn't anywhere near as good
Here's a shot of the pattern for Simon I've layered but not so well Bolt action metal and mithril silver
Great work on that cloth, Kent! Very impressive.

ReplyDeleteWhoo! That's a beaut! Marvelous work on the blanket. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteStunning piece of might! Very interesting painting, i like it much. Will be interesting to see few of them in game. Keep that way!
ReplyDeleteVery good work and nice colors.
ReplyDeleteThe figures of Aventine seem to be very good. I often thought of starting an army with their figures.
Your painted elephant could make me order some of Aventine´s miniatures. I hope that I can resist for there are too many other projects I have to finish first. :)
Cheers

Very beautiful and brave to do a linear pattern on both sides. The results area stunning. And I like your Mother's Day present...not painting on Mother's Day! I wonder if I could get away with that?
