They are just lovely ! VERY subtle shading on the white, perfect ! How did you achieve the 'transparent' effect on the glass bottles, please? Chick |

Thanks!
I painted the glass stuff solid Dark Angels green, then added the thick band of wine in a deep red. I painted lighter level lines in pink for the wine and a lighter green for the bottle to provide a sharper delineation between fluid and glass. Then I glossed over that with dark green ink, followed by highlights of pure white at the top spots. I did think about adding a tan wine label, but if I recall thought labeling wasn't very common then. Not my best bottle work, but I find I quit on minis half way through and call everything but stray strokes as good enough. I think this one turned out better with a much darker fluid. For figures I don't care much about I usually just experiment on.

Great job. I painted up almost all of the RAFM Halloween scarecrows, witches, and ghosts, back when my girls were small. For years, they would always look forward to the day when I'd unpack them in October. For whatever reason, RAFM never gets the respect it deserves. They make a lot of great miniatures. |

Those are fantastic. Great job. |

Eureka! I had not thought this out enough when this was viable, but now I think a graveyard setting rather than a colonial cellar (that will never ever get seen on the table) may be more fitting. Stay tuned … |

Good job! But, I must ask… Where are the pickles?!!! |

I'm currently working on the same figures. You've set the bar far higher than I can jump. I plan mine for a dungeon crawl. These will go with my skeleton pizza delivery man and will be used to denote to the players that it's time to take a break. |

I love RAFM miniatures, old and new. Great job on these, and thanks for sharing your bottle technique! |
