Timpo 9506 Arabs

[Peter]

It took me some time, but finally I could finish these Arabian warriors from Timpo. This was something new for me because I only used a wash for the skin and the gun. All other parts are painted from dark to light, by using different colors or adding a bit of white. I like the end result also after seeing the pictures. I will for sure use this technique on more figures.













Some more pictures of the individual figures and a bit more blabla on the blog.

Brand: Timpo
Scale: 54 mm

Great idea, Peter. My Timpo figs have disappeared, but one can not collect everything, not even me,

I am looking forward to see other examples.

That is some fine shading there! Looks very good!

[Peter]

Thank you Jan, Phil and Ben!

Practicing and experimenting make us better painters. Good work Peter!

Always good to see classic Timpo Figures,
and the Arabians look real cool painted.
Well done Peter.

i would suggest that a slight twist to the wrist on the last figure will improve that pose immensely by moving the hand and thus raising the angle of the sword. As i looked at it two positive sword angles could be achieved by this simple method.

Metal Pliers and kitchen paper would be needed to do any Twisting.

However this is only a possible Tip,and in no way should it be seen as applied criticism, because the painting is Top-Notch! BB

I also like the final result much, Peter. You have achieved very colourful and bright figures. Well done.

Santi.

Thank you Paul and Santi.

@Paul: I know what you mean about that hand, but I just wanted to paint them like they come out of the box. Without doing modifications on the figures! But it's a good tip. Maybe I try it with one of the other figures some day!
