Discussion about value of painted miniatures
Over on the Lead adventure forum you can find a rather interesting discussion about the value of painted miniatures. Recommended to read . To be found here
“Been thinking, (which is normally a bad idea), about the value paint adds to our minis and come up with a few questions? Namely;
Does it, add value?
To what standard does a mini need to be painted for the value to increase?
What is pro painted? Which is a daft question but there must be some way to gauge it? Are there other criteria for example one does see tabletop standard.
Should some minis that are collectable and or rare simply not be painted?
Do you buy painted minis or have you bought painted minis? Why/why not. I have not but then they tend to cost more unless badly painted and I love nothing more than restoring some old neglected mini.
To what extent can one make a living from painting minis.
etc… hope to generate some interesting discussion.” Golgotha on Lead Adventure Forum.
Next Lannister foot knight
Here are Pictures of the next Lannister foot knight I finished. He is a straight build out of the Perry WotR foot knight box with a cape from fireforge miniatures.
Miniature I painted for a painting Challenge
This is a miniature I painted for the Tricorn painting challenge over on Steve Deans forum. It is a figure given away at Crisis I think 2013 in Antwerp so not commercially available.
Hope you like him
The next Lannister Knight
This is the leader of the foot knights:
The Body is by Perry Miniatures, the head is from my bits box so manufacturer escapes me at the moment.
The Flockbox
I got a Flockbox for x xmas which can be used for making your own grass tufts or for flocking your terrain.
“”The Flockbox is a unique and versatile flocking device that allows flocking of small to medium size objects at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a commercial flocking device.
‘Flock’ is nylon fibres like fine hair and is available in a huge range of colours, it is used to create the velvet feel on objects such as jewelry boxes, car dashboards, toys or longer flock can be used to create realistic looking grasses in miniature.
The Flockbox uses an electrostatic charge to attract the flock fibres onto your glued surface resulting in the fibres standing on their ends in the glue to produce a carpet effect.” Quoted from the manufacturers site.
You can find more info here
Here is a short video showing how it works. Curtesy The terrain tutor
Here are some tufts I made with the flock box:
I haven’t tried flocking terrain directly but I will post the results here when I did.
If you want to make your own tufts this device is recommended !!
