28mm Foundry Victorian Civilians

Hello friends:

I can’t believe it’s almost the middle of January and I still have some finished projects from 2021 that I haven’t blogged here, so today I can offer these four Victorian ladies and gents from Foundry.

These minis were primed in Citadel Corax White and then painted with the Foundry tri-tone paint system, which I’m slowly feeling more comfortable with.  I’m happy with some of the colour gradients in the men’s suits and the blue dress.

These four were a test paint from several bags worth of Foundry’s Victorian civilian range.   I’m happy with them and plan to paint the rest for ACW (and my alt-ACW) tables.

Cheers and blessings to your brushes,

    Nice! It is a luxury when the painted figure backlog exceeds the blog queue.

    Lovely work on these Mike, I particularly like the skin tones on the lady in blue.

      Thanks Ross, yes she came out ok. I tried to give her lady friend an oriental design on her fan, but i just came out as smudges, but still happy with them both.

    Great sculpts and great paint jobs on them! A whole chock load of these types will definitely add some fun character to your collection.

      Thank you Dai. I hope to have enough of these figures to line a small street and greet the troops as they march by. No real wargaming value in that, just eye candy.

      Thanks, ys, Foundry do nice stuff, I'm a sucker for their work, even if the cost of shipping lead across the Atlantic is crazy. And I see they've jus upped their paint prices. Oh well.

    Those are lovely and the foundry paint system really brings at the folds in the castings.
    Great job.
    Cheers
