Robin Hood - Woodland animals (part 1)

Newly painted for the Robin Hood collection, some woodland animals, namely some deer and a (cunning?) fox. These are all repaints of Lemax figures again. Painting animals is hard by the way...

Almost too easy...

You know, I hear Disney is casting a fox to play me on the big screen...

Robin Hood: The Chaperone

Another update, another Lemax conversion and repaint. This one is a chaperone or a lady-in-waiting for Maid Marion. I used a Lemax nun as the base figure. Because classic nun outfits are basically medieval in style anyway. While I wasn't going to change the base figure much initially, I ended up converting her quite a bit. Her height was raised by lengthening her dress and adding a new base, her sleeves were changed, as was her collar and headdress. 

The chaperone and the donor figure


Overall, I think the changes were succesful into hiding her origins and turning her into a proper medieval lady. A radically different choice of colours also helps to make forget her past. I think I finally found a skin recipe for these figures that I'm happy with, though after finishing her, I can't help but feel her face looks a lot like Rowan Atkinson... Once she is varnished, the minor rough spots should hopefully look a bit smoother too. 

That Robin fellow better keep his manners (and his hands to himself)
Tssss... that modern "music" is giving me a headache.
