Valdemar - Lady in red - 20 mm

I have these figures for a very long time in my collection but never found an occasion to paint them. Now with the AHPC the occasion was there. The theme "lust" in the Divine Comedy invited to do this and here they are, the lady in red with a gentleman who has an excellent view. These Valdemar figures are hard to get these days because they aren't in production any more, as far as I know. Painting these wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The space between the figures wasn't big and so some parts were hard to reach for painting. But I'm pleased with the final result. I hope you like it to.  

Thanks for watching!

The (K)night Before Christmas!

Seasonal Greetings to you all! And what's a better way to show this to you with a figure. The figure is from Valdemar, actually a Teutonic Knight, but for this occasion painted as a Christmas Knight! The Christmas tree on his shield is handpainted!

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Valdemar Discussion Part 2

Hollidays are coming to an end for me. Tomorrow I have to turn back to real live. But, during the hollidays I was able to finish some things that were lying around here for some time. Like the Valdemar Discussion set. I finally get them finished after more as a year. Who wants to read more about this set can find it in part 1.

Here are the pictures!

The complete set.

I hope you like them!

Soon I show you more of the things I've finished.

Welcome to my blog!!!!!

I need new trousers!

Again this is a figure sculpted by my good friend Alex. It's a "Landsknecht" with a kaketoe on his arm and a hole in his pants!  As you see I swichted colours on left and right side. I've seen this on pictures of this period and thought it would be a nice idea. This time the figure wasn't that easy to paint. There were a lot of hidden details and not easy to reach with the brush. Some parts I had to repaint because I forgot to paint the lower parts.But finally I managed and the result you can see here.

The occasion to paint this figure came by having a duel on Benno's with Remco from Remco Miniatures. He post only once a month on his blog and I'm assuming that he only paint one figure a month to! But he makes some great things, and isn't feared to make some conversions. The result of the duel can be seen here.

The pictures:

I hope you like him!

I also would like to thank the people that reacted on my call for help in my previous post Paint the City Pink Charity Auction! In this charity auction my Wolsung Lord James Fouley is for sale, and many other pink painted figures! Thanks boys and girls for teh support!

Valdemar Discussion Part 1

This is part one of a figure set that was sended to me by my good friend Alex from Russia as a birthday gift. Thank you again Alex! There was more in that package but that's for another post. The set contains 10 figures and are sculpted very good. You can buy them at the shop of Fredericus-Rex.

Here you can see the first 5 figures I've painted. The other ones are still in progress.

My favorite figure!
Tijl Uylenspiegel!
A Flemish figure!



Painted him as a Fransiskaner!





With this one something
went wrong.
I'll check on him later.



I hope you like them!

A Medieval Story or Surprise

Hollidays! Always good but also to short! Mine ended last week, so it's about time I give a sign of life here. The little diorama shown here, I made for the FIGZ 2012 meeting painting competition. I took second place, and was very happy with the result.

The figures I used are all from Valdemar. You will recognize them from previous posts on this blog. The Medieval Highwaymen, the Medieval Guards On Duty and the rider of the Pilgrims set.

Now what's the story behind the story. Since a couple of months I'm a moderator on Benno's Figures Forum, and almost every day there's a fight against "Spammers". As a moderator there you're name is in a green colour. Now you know why the guards and the rider have that green colour uniform. The "Spammers" in this story are the highwaymen. I thought it was a good idea to show this daily battle in a medieval setting.

The trees are all made by myself like I have shown here.

Enjoy it!

This my friends is Andreas, riding his horse and singing
a ballad. It's the ballad of all honest internet users, who
want to show their work or interest to the world.

But what's that showing up in the back?

Ohoh, this looks like a bunch of Spammers who want to cheange the ballad!

Pst! Come here boys, and let us give the guy a surprise!

Quick he's coming near!

What? I can't hear you!

The "Hacker" is here boys!

They are surrounding poor Andreas who is still singing! Isn't he aware of
the danger he's in? But look in the left top corner! What's that?

This looks like some friends of Andreas!
He's got some back up!
But what's going on with them?

The one leaning against that rock is Paul! He's not
feeling well after all the wine he drunk last evening!
Thomas is telling him to move one because Andreas
is allready on the other side of the rock.

Chris, Rich, Remco and Mark are waiting.

Andreas' friends will be a hell of a "Surprise" for those "Spammers"!

This was the story. Not much on it but it's a nice way to present a dio! I hope you like it?
