You see, that is how I usually start when I buy things and then it takes me ages to paint them ...? :laugh:

These came out great!? Are those vines part of the cast?

How did you paint them; feel like giving a quick description on how to get that result?

By vines, do you mean the green bits? If so, then no.

Painting Foo Dogs the Keeper Way: 101 :)

1) I primed them with acrylic grey primer (Halfords, to be specific);
2) Washed heavily with thinned and flow enhanced Citadel Brown Ink then left to thoroughly dry!;
3) Drybrushed quite heavily with:
a) Tamyia Sky Grey (XF-19);
b) 2:1 mix of Tamiya Sky Grey and Citadel Skull White.
4) Dappled/Drybrushed the broken parts with thinned GW Bestial Brown;
5) Glued on green railway flock, to tase (Hornby R8038 Moor Heather Scatter, in this case).

Dog's a Good 'Un, to paraphrase Mr Foster at Heresy :D

Thanks Phil :) I'll take your pain and revel in it - schadenfreude, and all that :)

OOH! OOOH! I've just thought of something I can paint as a statue!!

Is it a genestealer? ;)

[quote="phil west "]
No, not a genestealer -you'll kick yourself when you realise!

A plastic Space Crusade marine?

Looks great phil :) Doing statues like this is pretty easy, isn't it? :D

According to the Heroquest Fluff they were supposed to be magically animated statues, so an ideal subject for this.

Are they? I've got one I painted sat in front of me on top of my work monitor, and it looks for all the world like a [s]Balrog[/s] [s]Bloodthirster[/s] Gargoyle ;)
