Tomorrow evening will see me start work on the cops themselves. I'll be posting the last four musketeer regiments tomorrow, so I won't be posting any WIP pics.
About Me
- TamsinP
- London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
- A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Challenge Day 38 - Cop Cars WIP
I've spent about 3-4 hours on these today, painting at a relaxed pace. I've taken them as far as I can for now - I can't really do any more until the crew figures are painted and glued into their seats. The only thing I might do, is the lights. However, I'm not sure what colours to use yet. I was thinking a pale yellow mixed with metallic medium for the headlights, and red mixed with metallic for the brake lights on the car.
Tomorrow evening will see me start work on the cops themselves. I'll be posting the last four musketeer regiments tomorrow, so I won't be posting any WIP pics.

I am thinking of starting gangsters this year. What have you found to be the best make of toy car for them in 28mm?
ReplyDeleteI would have painted them so much darker, but I would have been wrong looking at these two vehicles. Nice job on these ands I do so look forward to seeing the drivers.
Gorgeous, worth every minute.
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely! The one on the left brought to memory the Keystone Cops movies..:)
ReplyDeleteThey look great Tamsin! Now I wonder if anyone makes a figure that can stand on the running board whilst firing his pistol....
ReplyDeleteThey look great - a really good job.
ReplyDeleteLooking good Tamsin!
ReplyDelete@ Clint - I'd say it depends on which makes of figures you are using. The Matchbox cars work well with Blue Moon, Dixon, Copplestone and Pulp Figures; the Lledo cars are a bit smaller and would probably work well with Steve Barber and Brigade Games
ReplyDelete@ Michael A - cheers :)
@ RMacedo - thank you. I see what you mean :)
@ Terry - no cop figures I can see which would do the trick. Dixon or Blue Moon have gangster figures which might work.
@ Dannoc - thanks! :)
@ Millsy - hopefully they'll look even better when they are finished :)
These look superb, but I'm surprised by the blue coachwork too, looking forward to seeing them crewed though.
ReplyDeleteVery impreesed you've got all your russians done, but then again you're a paint-a-holic !
The blue isn't that bright in real life. It seems to be a lighting/camera effect.
