Once upon a time, a long time ago .....  

Merry Christmas for all of you !  

 

Medieval Market-Stand (TOMA'S Miniatures)

I apologize to be almost out the blogosphere since a long time : very busy I am ...
I don't paint a lot too ...

Those little set has been finished some weeks ago, and I've had no time to post the pictures before .

Toma sculpts excellent figures, especially for the medieval period, but not only : his Indians and buffaloes are awesome too ! (I've them but didn't paint them... maybe later ?)

(bad !) Pictures !!

"Travelling People, Jugglers and Acrobats" - (VALDEMAR) PART II

Hi !

I've finished to paint all the set !! (the part I is here )

  The Puppeteers :

 (If somebody has an idea for how to fix the puppets on the puppeteers... thanks)

Something is broken for the drummer 

and I think that the donkey fit with another figure of the part I

"The dancing Bear" :

 " Who wants to dance with me ?? "

"Viking SKALD " - KAMAR + Alex Gussev

Some days ago, I've seen that Andreas Brüggeman , the nice and talent man of KAMAR Figuren, have painted this figure sculpted by Alex Gussev : "Viking Skald"
 Mine was on the table since a long time, begun but not finished...
I've taken my brushes, my colours and here is the result :

but what is a Skald ?? (in french : Skalde ou Scalde)
Wikipedia.uk says :
 "The term skald (or skáld) meaning ‘poet’, is generally used for poets who composed at the courts of Scandinavian and Icelandic leaders during the Viking Age and Middle Ages. Skaldic poetry forms one of two main groupings of Old Norse poetry, the other being the anonymous Eddic poetry."

 Pour tous mes fidèles lecteurs français :
Wikipedia.fr dit que: 
"Le scalde est un poète scandinave, très souven tislandais , du Moyen-Âge , essentiellement du IXème au XIIème siècle.
Il compose en se fondant sur l'allitération, le compte des syllabes,  et l'accentuation. Sa poésie, avec ou sans refrain , volontairement sans lyrisme, loue des personnages, récapitule un lignage, expose des sentiments personnels ou décrit un bel objet. etc.... "

 ... so we can say that it's a sort of Viking troubadour! I've not really find pictures of Skalds on the web, so I felt completely free for the colours! (something I like at mostly ! ). In comparison with the colour scheme of Andi, it's completely different !

 

WIP : Travelling People, Jugglers and Acrobats (VALDEMAR) PART I

Just some pictures of the finished first figures from the Valdemar set "Travelling People, Jugglers and Acrobats" (for seeing the whole set : link  )
EDIT: sculpted of course by Alex Gussev ..
Resin (yeah !), acrylic paint and washes (Revell and Citadel)

More to come ... I hope !

"INTERROGATION.... " (Medieval Inquisition)- KAMAR FIGUREN -( WARNING : nude figure !)

Another set about the medieval inquisition (the other one, from Valdemar is here: part 1 & part 2 ).
Painted last year ....
Difficult to show pictures with nude figure... but it's just a figure !
(link :  Kamar Figuren )
The colours of the priests are not very accurate ...oups !

(the base is a new one ... just a part , not finished yet but on the way !)

"Dark-Ages Army on the March"- KAMAR Figuren

Hi ! First post of the year with my first painted figures of 2015 ...
I've this set since a long time and like I was in a Medieval period... well... I've painted it !

Like Andreas Brüggemann  (Kamar Figuren) said : it's a generic army, good for a lot of periods and situations.
I've not really chosen one ! they could be Anglo-Saxons .... Vikings in a raid ?

The pictures are good enough for a banal painting work ...

.... the base is a new one too !
