One of the more unique things I get to do with my Grade 11 art students is this little project. I started this last year as their introduction to acrylic painting. I had them paint up a troop of GW Warhammer elven spearmen, a box set I found from a guy on Kijiji for cheap. As a matter of fact, Scott from Elm City Hobbies was the one who supplied us with the paints! About 6 months ago, I was poking around the clearance bin of my LHS when I found a box of Elven Spearmen from Mantic Games' Kings Of War line, for about $11. Perfect for this year's crop of Art students!
Today, they assembled their miniatures...
... and I got to take my new spray booth out on its test run by priming them at home with some Mr Surfacer 1000. Tomorrow, they'll be applying their basecoat colors.
Seeing as I have to stay one step ahead of them for demonstration purposes...
Here's my basecoated mini. I just slopped on some Citadel Basecoat acrylic paints, same as what they'll be using. Going for a green & gold color scheme with some red gemmies to offset the mostly green color of the mini.
Happy wargaming! ;D
