Brigade Games exploring officer

I know, it's been over a year since my last post. In my defence I had been preparing for another transatlantic move, but I've now been in Wisconsin since April so that's a pretty weak excuse.

Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XIV is imminent so I thought I should get my finger out  and clear the deck of work in progress.


 
This Brigade Games Exploring Officer has been part painted at least these past three years and was a matter of just finishing off the basecoats followed by a wash and highlights.


I've ran out of Windsor and Newton Professional Matt Varnish, and it seems to be permanently unavailable here in the USA, so the slight sheen is a result of using Testors "not very" Dullcote. If I do ever get some W&N again, I'll likely give them a coat.


This chap will serve as a character in our Sharp Practice games and as an ADC in our larger General D'Armee games.

  1. Good to see a post from you!

    I see that W&N Pro Matt is in stock at dick Blick.
    https://www.dickblick.com/items/winsor--newton-spray-varnish-matt-varnish-400-ml-can/
    and that Jerry's Artarama has it back in stock on 20 DEC.

    If those fail, I could send a Christmas CARE package with a can from my stash.

    1. Thank you. The W&N seems to regularly have supply issues.

  4. "An Exploring Officer!" Thats EXACTLY the term I was trying to recall yesterday at our large Corunna based Peninsular game - thanks Paul! He looks excellent by the way - mind you, at three years in the making, I guess he should do! :)
