Some years ago, I bought the Learn to Paint Kit: Core Skills, by Reaper Miniatures, during a “fly-by” at one of our annual Enfilade! (This year’s convention was cancelled due to the Coronavirus Pademic).
Well, I finally got the kit’s three plastic fantasy figures painted—but it wasn’t by my hand, or with the kit’s paints.
I had the three figures, along with several other Reaper Miniature figures, painted by my friend Peter.
Here’s the results:
1. Orc Fighter, front view...
...back view:
2. Animated Skeleton Archer, front view...

3. Paladin in Plate Armor, front view...

While Peter painted the figures, I added a couple minor modifications.
Since the figures are lightweight plastic, I superglued the bases to washers, heavy stands or even pennies to give them better stability and balance. Then I painted and flocked the entire composite base of each figure.
The cave entrance backdrop is from a picture I downloaded and printed, but I can’t remember where I got it from.
The cave floor is actually the reverse side of the WH 40K Kill Team Starter Kit’s game board.
Next up will be another short post about my American Old West figures.
So stay tuned partner.
