More Ancient sets

More goodies. This blog is all about the process of artistic development, warts and all.

                                       Ur Sumerians from Berliner.  Everyone in sheepskin kilts

                                          Music and Dance in Egypt. Berliner set.

                                          Friedrich set Sekmet Princess. A purrfect group, I think.

                                          Nefertiti's Ride Berliner set

                                  Nefertiti herself. I want to show how I paint the human form under drapery.

More sets being developed

                                   I have started laying the groundwork for more sets. Braune's Custer set.

              This picture was upright on my computer. They need to fix the bugs on these blogs....

   Moses and the Golden Calf set from Wilken. I can recognise Charlton Heston and Edward G   Robinson...

Finally to round off this mammoth painting round

The cro-magnons and their meal.

                                          On my computer, this looked upright...

                                              When completed, this should make a great scene/

Impressionist set completed

I have completed Braune's great little set.

Happy Easter

And what better way to celebrate the day then with some easterners...

I started on Segom's Assurbanipal Assyrian Lion Hunt. These figures are chunky and the castings are thicker than most other flats. The details are rough but I think that careful painting will make this set.

I also went to town on the Ochel Assyrians.

                                              Slave market

                                            Hebrews paying tribute

                                             Close up detail of the Patriach riding mules

More Assyrians court officials, slave traders, priests

                                         

                                          The famous Sardanaplus bed orgy scene

                                               The King and his Queen

                                        Other revellers. These Aryans knew how to have a good time.

                                           One tipsy reveller staggering to his couch.

Ochel Babylonians

Finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel with this huge collection. I intend to do at least 3 scenes with these figures, some of which are interchangeable between settings.

                                              Figures with resculpted feet and hands

                                             Almost finished figures, barring intricate detailing

Impressionists fully identified

Starting to have fun with this eclectic set. I would probably display this set with an impressionistic backdrop.
