and they are done, first finished VSF in to long a time!

 


 Ten man crew completed! These are North Star/Artizan figures and were a joy to paint. Dealing with the varnish incident was not fun (detailed on my painting blog) but that was not the fault of the figures. There are some details I left out, eyes being the big one, but some detail work like the straps for their goggles. Those I may add, but not the eyes, I do not do eyes!

WIP finally trying to get back into painting.

 



 So, just working on these over the last day or so. The top figures are by Hinterland (OOP?) while the bottom, figures are by North Star. To be fair, I had started the women many months ago, and they have just been languishing on my painting table. They are nice figures, but with a tendency to have really unfortunate mold lines that defy my ability to remove.  

The North Star sailors are nice simple figures along the lines of Artizan figures, effective looking figures without excessive, and time consuming detail. So far I have applied the base colours on all of them, now I just need to do some layer work, and some washes.
