Ok, thanks. I just didn't want to assume what I was planning was correct only to find out differently later on. I have a four day show (ReaperCon) where I'll be manning our club table starting this afternoon. I figure (ha!) I can get some cleanup, priming, and some painting done. The rest of April and all of May will be dodgy due to the Tulsa Show on 1 June. I have two scratch flats to sculpt and paint. No pressure...

Wolfgang's right, you decide which side to paint, no light restrictions all we're asking is do your best
as they will be on display ;)
 
Now photo's of the finished figures are welcome on site, already had one set finished so over to you and see what you can do :)

Hello Glen

Your Malstill with light direction is absulut.
There is no prescribed direction in the moving the respective parties.

Thus YOU decide for yourself which side is the chocolate side. Can you try by bemalung the pages irrespectively specify which type you're holding in your hands. :o :o :o :o ::) ::) ::) ::)
For easy determination of the characters, "footboard" :D

TYPE = gunner it will be medicine or engineering units
U.S. = Union
CS = Southern

You can allso as they paint as you wish under observance of badges and particular appearance of. ::) ::)
best regards
Wolfgang

Two questions about the two ACW figs... Both are depicted running and are two-sided. My plan, based on comments above, is to paint one side, but... is there any preference for which way the figure is facing? My Union guy, running to the right, depicts the face and the shoulder bag. Running lift shows a partial face and a canteen. The Reb running right shows a profile face, rifle, and partial bedroll. Running right shows the profile face, haversack, canteen, partial bedroll,and partial gun.

Next, is there a preferred light direction? I tend to paint light coming from the upper front left, but to me both figures are more interesting running to the right and I'm thinking a light source from the upper front right might be more suitable.

Comments?

Cheers,

Glen

If the figures are generic, I have color refs for the uniforms and equipment. If they are of a specific unit, I'll need the specifics that are outside whatever is standard issue. The Union guy seems to be a dispatch runner or medic; there's no weapons, just a uniform and shoulder bag. The Reb is in full kit - weapon, carry bag, canteen, bedroll, etc., plus what I assume is a basic gray uniform. If he's late war, then some items could be painted as civilian (e.g. pants/shirt).

Glen they will be frame mounted so one side needed but two if you like ;)
 
Are we OK with uniform details? Wolfgang has suggested we give you a lead, what do you think would it help?

Received two figures in today's mail. At 30mm, I can see I'm going to be wearing my magnifying glasses for the duration. How are these figs to be mounted? They're two sided and I don't know if I'm to paint one side or the other or both. So many choices...

Brain has also convinced me to paint two figures.  :-\
Since I'm biased as a creator, my niece (11 years) taken out two figures from the figures boxes.
So I have now my project!  :o :o :o
I chose the painting of colorful exotic birds.

It does not have to look all gray and blue. Since there are enough units and federal acts, everyone should find his. ;)

Stay tuned .... :) :) :)
best regards
Wolfgang
