This fantasy Wargaming figure set is cast in white metal and is from the CAV
series of Reaper figures (Kit No 7062). There are six sets of mortar and crew
with
three bases provided in the package, with no assembly required unless the
crews are being mounted to the bases. Casting is good for this scale but could
be a little better defined in some areas and there are minimal mold parting lines
present. Not being a Wargamer, I have no idea what the 'capabilities' of this mortar
and crew are nor do I know what they are suppose to represent. (The remaining
five sets and the three bases are available for sale. Contact me
here
if you are interested... US address only.) |
Painting was done entirely in acrylics,
including the metal primer and final flat coat once the project was
completed. Weathering consisted of
first applying a wash of artist oils thinned with Turpenoid odorless
brush cleaner. When thoroughly dry, a dry-brushing was lightly applied to bring out the details.
The base is cut to 2" (51 mm) in diameter, is from 2" x 4" (51 x 102 mm) pine
stud and was routered
along the top edge. The finish consists of an oil based oak stain and then sealed with three coats of
polyurethane.
The landscape is built-up from a mix of Sculptamold, wood glue (aliphatic resin glue)
and water and was applied after masking off of the wood with a lo-tak drafting tape.
Finely sifted dirt, dried flower 'twigs' and kitty litter 'stones' were used
sparingly and white glued into place prior to the groundwork setting up. This
was all left to dry for a couple of days before painting.
Various shades of Bragdon Enterprises pastel weathering chalks were
applied as a final 'dusting'.
Special thanks to the Optimizer Gods for giving me the
magnification required to be able to see and paint these small figures.
