Great looking Epic Swedes, Nic 👍. You seem to be cracking through them at a good pace. I also would be worried about trying to paint all of the details on the Epic figures. One of the reasons I stopped doing 15mm was that it was taking me as long as doing 28s 😆.
@NicGamz
@NicGamz Жыл бұрын
Thank you. Yeah that is the problem for me too. I take the same long time on one 15mm figures as I do with a 28mm. If I did not have had the contrast paints I would have been in a mental hospital by now. 😁😀👍

They look very nice - as to painting details nobody will ever notice, I started out with that attitude when I began doing 15mm AB Napoleonic figures, and it rapidly went out the window. I paint all the details I can because I think that the sculpts are so good they deserve the effort - I don't care if other people never see it, I know it's there and that's what's important to me.
@NicGamz
@NicGamz Жыл бұрын
Thank you. I agree that painting all the details is fun and they then look great. The problem for me is that I have so much to paint and I belive that if I stop on all details I will burn my self out to fast and never be done with the project. Or maby not. Will see. 😀

@@NicGamz I tend to have a lot of figures on the painting table at any time - for several different projects. My "core business" is 15/18mm Napoleonic and so there are always Napoleonic figures on the painting table. I've found that, for me, doing a whole battalion at once (anything from 24 to 40 figures, depending on the army) is too much - so my key target each week is to paint a stand or two of the battalion I'm working on. Then I have other figures that are for other projects - possibly in 28mm or, more likely 20mm WWII. As I'm doing the Napoleonic figures for the week I might paint all their packs and discover I still have some paint left on the palette - so I take the excess and use it on some other unrelated figures as appropriate, or I just do the packs on the following weeks main focus. After a few weeks of this I have an absurd number of figures on the table - and then I look at a group of figures and think "oh, I just need to do this and this and I've finished those". I think the key thing is to try and maintain some focus, after a few years you'll find you have respectable forces (I paint both sides) even if you just aim for a limited number of figures per week. My weekly target is ten figures a week - which sounds super slow - but that's 500 figures a year and so about nine or ten infantry battalions. Obviously if you are paining both sides you can get some variety painting different figures from different nations. Multiply that by a few years and you have a few divisions, plus some WWII platoons for skirmish games. Plus a lot of odds and ends that need more work!

Beautifully done, Nic! Fantastic work! I think, as you're transitioning from 28mm to 12/13.5 mm, you will find shortcuts that work for you. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see more.

@NicGamz Жыл бұрын
Thank you. Shortcuts is very much needed if you want to paint up this huge army of Epic battles and get a game going. Just get them into tabletop standard will do fine. Problem is I always get stuck in the details, I can´t help it. 😀👍
