On my recent holiday the family and I went to Medieval Times, for a medieval banquet and show, this is the third time we've been there, and every time the show has been different. Because of my wheelchair we always sit in the green knight section, the section you sit in decides which knight you cheer for.
Before entering the seating they have a bar and shop, each time we've been I've spent a lot of time perusing the shop,and have picked up something each time. The first year I picked up a Succubus model (still need to paint that, the second year a T shirt, and this year a dragon bust.
The picture above shows the bust after my repaint, now you may be thinking " why repaint the model ! " well the picture below will show you why.
I went for a triad of colours scheme for the red, using blue as shade colour and yellow for a highlight in certain areas, it also has four shades of red inbetween, and a red glaze over the top, to help the blending. The base colour was Vallejo black red, then a wash of GW Drakenhof nightshade in shadow areas, a layer of Vallejo Burnt red, a layer of Vallejo red, a highlight of Vallejo Bloody red, a glaze of GW Yriel yellow, and a all over glaze of GW Bloodletter glaze.
The horns started with a basecoat of GW Mournfang brown, a wash of GW Agrax earthshade, then GW XV-88, a glaze of Vallejo bronze fleshtone, and a final glaze of Vallejo bone white
The base had a simple coat of GW Runefang steel, then a wash of GW Nuln oil.
While on the subject of busts I've been slowly working on my commisar bust, I've only picked it up when in the mood, so progress has been slow, but feel I'm heading in the right direction.
That's it for this post so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave
