PILGRIMS and PIONEERS - IMEX - PART II - Men and Animals

Hi !
I'm back ! After more than 4 months without painting and blogging, I've been able to finish to paint both IMEX sets.
Women were finished a long time ago and in fact, I didn't have a lot of work to do on those figures.

I'm happy to return in my Hobby Room and now, I would like to finish some other projects and also start some new ones...

To be continued!

I don't paint a lot but I paint !
I'm working on both sets of IMEX :
 "American Pioneers" (516) and
 "Pilgrims" (521)
I've just finished the women and some children .
Next part will be the animals and then the men...

not from me : some nice conversions of a Forum member

.. like I've not a lot of work to show at this moment, I take advantage for posting some pictures of Arlin (aka "hodude") a Member-friend of Benno's Figures Forum .
As he doesn't have a blog (or something similar), he asked me (some times ago ... oups!) if I could post the pictures for him on the forum .... so I've decided to post them on my blog first !!!

Now, that's done!









Imex figures from different sets ...

"Cowboys" !

This is an "old" work (finished in March, I think) but I show it only today because it takes part at a competition on "Benno's Forum" .
At the end, I was in the final round for the "Golden Brush" but my duellist was better than me !
Congrats to Konrad for his "Red Devils of Sekigihara" !

For this little dio (.. almost the biggest I've ever made!), I've used :
-the set "Cowboys at the Trail" from "Germania Figuren"
-The "Chuck Wagon" from IMEX
-The Horse from IMEX "Eastern Friendly Indians"
-the "longhorns" from "Toma Miniatures"
-the tree is home-made.

"Woodland Indian Women and Childs"

In the same time that I've painted the "Californian Mission Indians", I've also painted this little "Nikolai" set, sculpted  by Erik Trauner. (the hut is from "IMEX Eastern Friendly Indians" ).

Dans le même temps que j'ai peint "Californian Mission Indians", j'ai aussi peint ce petit set "Nikolai", sculpté par Erik Trauner. (la hutte est de "IMEX Eastern Friendly Indians")



And I've done too some pictures for comparison between IMEX, PEGASUS, NIKOLAI Indians:

IMEX NIKOLAI PEGASUS ....
IMEX NIKOLAI PEGASUS IMEX NIKOLAI
NIKOLAI IMEX PEGASUS PEGASUS
PEGASUS       IMEX
(..... and it's a good way to see that I've not painted the skins in the same colour ! )

W.I.P. INDIAN DANCE

I've started a small project of an Indian Camp with scenes of Indian Life.
First, I've painted some figures from different sets which seemed to be good for an Indian Dance:
IMEX "Sioux" and "Eastern Friendly Indians"
REVELL "Indians"
ATLANTIC "Sioux Camp"

I will use, I think, the teepees from IMEX "Lewis and Clark".

 J'ai commencé un petit projet d'un camp indien avec des scènes de la vie indienne.
Tout d'abord, j'ai peint quelques figurines de différents sets qui semblaient convenir pour une danse indienne:


IMEX "Sioux" et "Eastern Friendly Indians"
REVELL "Indians"
ATLANTIC "Sioux Camp"
Je vais utiliser, je pense, les tipis de IMEX "Lewis et Clark".







.... but, like it's better to be cautious, some are in alert:
.... mais, comme il vaut mieux être prudent, certains sont en alerte:

UPDATE: Raft , Lewis dog and furs : New Pictures and historical corrections !

In my last post, I've put some bad pictures and made some historical errors !!
Shame on me !
For the pictures, I've used this time the function "White balance" of my camera and a better light.

Dans mon dernier post (ici) , j'ai mis quelques mauvaises photos et fait quelques erreurs historiques!
Honte à moi!
Pour les photos, j'ai utilisé cette fois la fonction "balance des blancs" de mon appareil photo et une meilleure lumière.


1-The Raft (IMEX): it's one part of the set that I've not painted before (look at "Lewis and Clark" : here and here ). Even if the comments were all very kind, I'm not satisfied with my painting work: the skin is bad especially on the face!

1-Le Radeau: c'est une partie du jeu que je n'ai pas peint avant (voir "Lewis et Clark": ici and ici). Même si les commentaires étaient tous très sympas, je ne suis pas satisfait de mon travail de peinture: la peau est ratée surtout sur le visage!




2-Lewis Dog (VALDEMAR "Hunting Party"): I've wrote that it was the "Karl Lewis" dog !!!
correction : "Meriwether Lewis" !!! It was a "Newfoundland's dog called "Seaman" and in fact he was dark !! Another liberty that I've done with the historical accuracy ...  

2-Lewis Dog (VALDEMAR "Hunting Party"): J'ai écrit que c'était le chien de "Karl Lewis"!
correction: "Meriwether Lewis"! C'était un "Terre-Neuve appelé« Seaman » et en fait il était  noir! Une autre liberté que j'ai prise avec l'exactitude historique ...



I was not completely wrong !!

With Meriwether Lewis .....
(@Jay : no, no !! it's not a bottle he put on his eye !!!)


3-For the furs from HAGEN MINIATURES , no other pictures :
(like Paul say : strange name  in the website for this set: "coats and coatpacks" !!!
