Townsfolk Monk: Bones 4 Figure

     This past week I kicked my painting for next month's Cold Wars convention into high gear.   So, I didn't have a lot of time for painting Bones.  Therefore, I selected the Monk from the Bones 4 Core Set Townsfolk group to work on since it's a simple figure.
     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 black-primed 1" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue, and then placed the figure in my painting grip.

     I began by painting his face and hands with Reaper MSP "Rosy Skin".  I then painted his cassock with Americana "Light Cinnamon", and his sleeves and collar with Americana "Fawn".

     Next, I painted his cape with Americana "Neutral Grey", and his shoes with Ceramcoat "Territorial Beige". After that, I painted his hair with Americana "Asphaltum", and the rope belt with Folk Art "Barn Wood".

    I let the figure dry for a while, and then I gave his face and hands a coat of Citadel "Reikland Fleshshade" wash.   When that was dry, I gave his cassock, sleeves, collar, belt, and shoes all a coat of Citadel "Agrax Earthsahde" wash.  I let that dry, and then went over his cape with Citadel "Nuln Oil" wash.

     When all the washes were dry, I painted his eyes and then highlighted his face and hands with Rraper MSP "Rosy Highlight".  After that, I highlighted his hair with first, Accent Mustard Seed", and then a little Folk Art "Butter Pecan".  I then highlighted his cassock with the base "Light Cinnamon", and then some of the "Light Cinnamon" mixed with a little of the "Fawn".

     Next, I highlighted the collar and sleeves with the base "Fawn", and then a little of the "Fawn" with some Americana "Bleached Sand" mixed in.  Then, I highlighted the cape with the base "Neutral Grey", and a little of the "Neutral Grey" with some Americana "Grey Sky" mixed in.  After that, I highlighted his shoes with the Americana "Khaki Tan".  Lastly, I painted the entire base with Americana "Mississippi Mud".
      I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish. I then used some white glue to glue some fine sand to the base.  When the sand was dry, I painted it with a coat of Americana "Raw Umber". When this was dry, I drybrushed the sand with the "Territorial Beige", and then with some of the "Butter Pecan"; lastly I drybrushed it with a little of the "Bleached Sand".
      Another overnight dry, and I sprayed the figure with Testor's Dullcote".

    I'm pretty happy with this one.   A simple figure, but a lot of character, and fun to paint.

Dreadmere Wight: Bones 4 Dreadmere Figure

      This past week I painted the Dreadmere Wight from the Bones 4 Dreadmere expansion set.
      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 rinsed and dried it. Then, after cutting down the base a little, I glued the figure to a black-primed 1" fender washer with Aleene's Tacky glue, and then glued the washer to a tongue depressor with a couple drops of Elmers glue.

      I began by painting all the skin with Americana "Reindeer Moss Green", and the under smock with Americana "Antique White".  I then and the robes with Crafter's Acrylic "Cinnamon Brown", and the cowl with Americana "Asphaltum".

      Next, I painted the rope belts with Americana "Fawn", and the tankard, belt buckle, and robe clasp with Americana "Zinc".  I then painted the little coffin with Americana "Mississippi Mud", his beard with Apple Barrel "Rock Grey", and his teeth with Americana "Bleached Sand".

          Then, when everything had had time to dry,  I gave the entire figure a wash with Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" wash.  When the wash was dry, I repainted the tankard with Reaper MSP "Aged Pewter", and the belt buckle, and robe clasp with Accent "Princely Pewter".  Then, when those colors had had time to dry, I went over them with a little Citadel "Nuln Oil" wash.   After that, I painted the eyes with Americana "Moon Yellow".

    Next, I highlighted the skin with the base "Reindeer Moss Green". After that, I painted his toe and finger nails with Folk Art "Butter Pecan". I then highlighted his under smock with the base "Antique White", and highlighted his robes with Folk Art "Teddy Bear Brown".  After that, I highlighted his cowl with Nicole's "Brown", and then did the highlights on his beard with first, Folk Art "Platinum Grey", and then a little Americana "Snow White". While I had the "Snow White" out, I added some little dots to his eyes and teeth with it.   I then turned to the rope belts, highlighting them with the "Bleached Sand", and the little coffin hanging from the belt with a mix of a little of the "Bleached Sand" with the base "Mississippi Mud".  I then highlighted his tankard with Ceramcoat "Metallic Silver", and the buckle and clasp with some Folk Art Metallics "Gunmetal Grey".  Lastly, I painted the entire base with the "Mississippi Mud".
       I let the figure dry overnight and the next day I gave it a coat of Americana "DuraClear Matte" varnish.    Then, when  the varnish was dry, I used some white glue to flock the base.  Another overnight dry, and I sprayed it with Testor's "Dullcote".

   This was a fun simple figure to paint up , and I'm really happy with how he turned out!
