A Place For Everything...

Well now, the basework. Decided on nothing flashy and to keep it simple. First to do a simple clean and prime with the ever useful grey auto primer.

First a dark grey wash was applied to all the gapping in the stone floor and once dry, masked with latex masking fluid.

Selected a simple light grey/brown colour, a VERY old tin of enamel marked as hemp colour seemed about right so drybrush mania was about to ensue.

Once all settled, removed the masking and after a little bit more drybrush hoo-ha the edge of the base just painted semi-gloss black. Sorted.

Next job was simple enough, place the ladies in position and with the help of the pre-prepared three small screws this bit was accomplished in short order. Next task was to take the seperate gloves of both figures and glue these in position. Again done in short order with no problems i am thankful to say.

That done and me pleased with the result so far, time to turn my attention to the cape. Again nothing too flashy required apart from some sanding down to thin out the bottom 'saw tooth' pattern and some airbrush shading on the inside

The outside just brushpainted with semi-gloss black and fixed in position. No shading needed on the outer surface, the semi-gloss paint does all the light catching needed to show the shape.
