So I've really got the bug to join in with the great performance of the harlequins and I've fallen in love with the Dreaming Shadow masque. And this afternoon I've started a test model in the Dreaming Shadow colours. i've only done one coat so far and not finished the whole model but this is where I am in the act so far.

 

 

I'm going to give her another coat tomorrow and hopefully finish her. if I'm honest it was quite difficult to paint but felyt easier cos it was smaller.

well to be honest it is nice to see a scheme that doesn't include diamonds in it

[Axineton]

To be honest I’ve never tried doing diamonds before but I really like the dreaming shadows fluff and their colour scheme stood out the most to me as well.

[Axineton]

Done another coat of yellow on the sash and will probably need a few more if I'm honest. Also started on the collar of her jacket and that will need tidying up too.

did i mention that i love the look of your harlies

[Axineton]

Cheers mate! I'll get on with completing this soon just really busy at the moment and not got much time for hoobying

[Gemini]

[Axineton]

Cheers mate. I’ll finish it off sooner or later.

Bought a small Harlequin force on ebay as I'm fed up with the whole painting part of the hobby. Hope to get the painter who did these to do a commission of a few more bits to add to this later on.

Well I sold the above last year in a fit of rage as I thought I was done with the hobby! Turns out I wasn’t!! Anyway I still have the harlequin at the top of this thread and I found her over the weekend after putting her away. I’ve just bought a box of troupe on eBay but with the current situation I’m not sure when they’ll arrive. I’ve painted the base with stirland mud and an Agrax earthshade wash then drybrushed with tyrant skull. The stone piece I’ve done a basecoat of Zandri dust and I need a few coats but I’ll update more with a pic once I get my head in the game. Still need to finish my Deathwatch sergeants for the 12 month of hobby challenge. 

 

 

Added a Pic.

Built the Troupe this afternoon after it arriving in the post this morning. May prime them with the airbrush tomorrow unless I can get to Halfords to get a spraycan but that may prove difficult.

I like it. Can't wait to see what you do with the new ones. I understand the frustration in the world status right now as well as the painting of diamonds. I've stripped my Harli's at least 3 times now and still haven't found my niche for them. So seeing what you've come up with on the single mini gives me hope. Can't wit to see them.

Cheers mate, yeah sod painting diamonds I’m not that amazing   but I’ll definitely give these a shot at the dreaming shadow colours. 

[Axineton]

Sooo I got the airbrush out today to prime the troupe and then thought why don’t I make a start on painting them too. I was mucking around with it and came up with this so far. I obviously need to get some green in here but this is where I’m at right now. C & c much appreciated.

 

[Axineton]

And I only went and basecoated the whole troupe in Averland sunset and Khorne red with my airbrush. The sash’s are going to be green I think and I’m also going to tidy up the red and yellow with a paintbrush tomorrow then I’ll get on with the highlights on the edges as well. 
I tried to do a airbrush blend on the power sword but it didn’t quite work but I’m sure with more practice I’ll get it eventually. 
 

[Axineton]

Troupe Master is done! This took me about 5hrs to paint today and I’m well happy with the end result. I hope I can paint the others just as good as I’ve done this one.

I like it. The colors are perfect as I said above. Glad you're getting to do them. I just came inside from working on my pick up, thinking about painting some tonight just because I saw yours, if I'm not to sore. Getting old sucks.

cheers Dread much appreciated mate. I have to admit I really am not a fan of painting in general but today I really enjoyed it. I put my AirPods in my ears and just started painting and a few hours later it was done. I reckon I’ll do 1 a day over this week and hopefully have them finished by next weekend. And yes getting old does suck mate 

[Dread]

Well ya made me do it. I play Frozen Stars so whatcha think? This is my first completely painted to masque model. To give you an idea, I collected this army 5 years ago while going thru cancer surgery. I think it's been long enough.

[Axineton]

Very cool mate! Makes a change to see harlequins without diamond patterns. How many have you got to do?

[Axineton]

Painted the weapons retributor gold today on the remaining clowns. I’ll do more tomorrow. 

[Dread]

I have a couple dozen. 6 bikes 4 vehicles.. thanks for inspiring me to get after them.

[Axineton]

No worries mate. I hope you enjoy getting back to them. I’m thinking about adding more to this troupe once I’ve painted them. I shouldn’t but I really am thinking about it
