Ben's Miniature Gallery

Imperial Officer added Sep 23, 2005
This was mostly experimental, so I didn't bother to document the process this time. I used some leftover pirate hands for this one, including one with a pistol. I added a small piece of insulation from the copper wire as a scope, stuck to the pistol with putty. The face on this one turned out pretty bad. I was mostly seeing how I could do some of the small details like the rank plaque, code cyliners, and other accessories. I'm mostly just pleased that it's recognizable as an Imperial Navy uniform, or at least I think it is. I had intended to paint the uniform black, but I find that the detail is lost when things are just black. I've had good luck before starting with grey and using black washes, but this time it turned out blotchy and kind of gross. A lot of that I'm sure is due to the uneven texture of the uniform. I may go back and just paint it all flat black, which will no doubt look much better.
