I have never yet participated in this spot as yet, as Saturdays are not a day I get to do much painting. However, this afternoon was a family painting session, as the girls and I sat down together.
First off, we did some painting on paper, then, once I waited to see if everyone was actually in the mood to paint, and not to wander off and do other stuff, we each took one of these old WFB Wood Elf archers each and got stuck in.
Man, these things are old. The first plastic minis I bought, and I think some of the first plastics GW made. The detail on these is impressively minimal, but they were perfect for today's exercise.
The big'un was having trouble with the paint coming off the mini when she was holding it (we were using other craft paints as well as my acrylics, but they were doing the job), so I had to get each of them a cork to hold the mini with.
Here are the final results:
I have more of these guys, some of which I painted about 20 years ago or so. Look out for them in the near future.
The chap on the right is downright psychedelic. :)

DeleteThat is absolutely gorgeous, Paint table Saturday - the family addition.
ReplyDeleteThe best kind! ;)
DeleteIt's great when you try to get the kids involved in the hobby. I have been trying to get me son interested in miniature painting but it's tough fighting electronic gadgets for attention in this day and age. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWe don't have too many gadgets that they have access to, we've restriced that to special occassions, although the painting with the kids only works when they're in the mood, otherwise it's less fun!
DeleteGood to see you're starting them early!
ReplyDeleteCheers! Keeps them busy on a cold afternoon!
