My first hand painted miniatures

[Jaepheth]

Some felt seems to be sticking to them.


They look better in person, honest.

still getting used to this camera...

here's a better detail shot of the elf:

That looks damn good. What minatures are they?

Nice work! The colors look good and I like the look of the dude in the cloak a lot.

If the "felt" or dust is a problem with freshly-painted work like this, try putting one of those disposable plastic food storage containers over them upside down while the paint dries. Make sure the container is transparent so you can see what you have inside.

What I like to do is temporarily attach my painted items on the inside of the storage container's upside-down lid with a small piece of Blu-Tack or similar, then set the container itself on the lid, snapping it in place, so it seals out any dust. Also, if you manage to accidentally knock the whole thing over, hopefully the figure will stay attached to the inside of the lid and not rattle around inside the container (possibly marring the paint) or fall outside of it completely.

The nice thing about those containers is that you can get 5 or 6 in a pack and in various sizes. When I paint a model tank or something, I can usually find one to fit over it.

Well, they aren't freshly painted (I didn't have a digital camera when I painted them awhile ago) and so I thought they were thoroughly dry. I made these contoured felt wraps to keep them from banging around in the bag. I guess moisture must've gotten in there or something...
