To relax between my efforts to paint 1/35 figures and to recover falling tractors, I've started painting this little figure from warhammer's Vampire Counts set. Her name is Tomb Banshee and she's supposed to be a dead witch whose ghost has risen from her tomb. The paintjob will be in shades of light blue, as it is meant by warhammer background. That's mostly a way to exercise blending skills, as it will be almost monochrome light blue, except hair and vest. As always, ACW  |

She looks awesome so far Luigi. 28mm figures are certainly a challenge to paint and you have started brilliantly, looking forward to seeing more.

Todd, Tobias, Boo thanks Dennis they're challenging from a certain point of view, yet they're easier being smaller. I find harder to get smooth transitions on 1/35 figures than on 28mm... Dicky and Gary I can paint her hair blonde or black, if this will make you feel more comfortable

Great subject Luigi, the casting looks good?

So, so, Mence. It needs careful cleaning and some putty to be ok. I've seen much better castings. But the subject is wonderful and with some tedious work turns into a treat |

Hey guys, I went on painting the blouse. I chose purple to try to make it a little more uneven than the original one. As always ACW |

Ahh... This is one of my beloved hobbys, too. I started scale modelling by painting gw minitures. Great job by now. I am a big fan of the space wolves and the chaos...
