Jean Höfler Figures 3 and 4

Today two new figures of this range. They are really a joy to paint. No tricky details, big surfaces to paint so I can finish them quick! A reveal when you look at the little plastic friends. And it's good for my eyes, so they can get a rest.
 
The first figure is the outcome of a trade with my good friend Paul, better known as Beano Boy, from BB's Blog. He missed some of the poses, and still, just like me, and I could help him with some. So we agreed to help eachother to fill up the gap a little bit.
 
When I got this one I started to paint him directly because I liked the pose of this one very much. Also the way I wanted to paint him, I got directly in my mind. Black was the main color. I started to paint him with a very dark grey  and then drybrushed him with black I like the outcome together with the lighter colors!
 
 
 

 
 
 
The second one is one I had in stock. It looked nice to give the previous one someone to watch his back! And he looks real mean! So don't look for trouble with his friend!
 
 


 
 
I also made a picture of the four finished figures so far. They look colorfull all together. I hope you like them?
 
 
 
For the rest I'm busy with some basing of figures and a certain tank. Also some other figures are on the painting table. Unbelievable how much time I have for the hobby now I'm recovering! I get a lot of things finished. The recovering is going well by the way. Stopped medication for the pain this week, but I still have to be carefull with the moves I make. Sometimes I forget about that and then my leg let it know that I did something wrong! My own fault of course!
