An update on this blog, at last!
I must explain that I wasn't interested in figures any longer. I have been away from the community for almost 9 months, which has given me a lot of time for other hobbies, such as collecting Japanese woodblock prints, or playing music in a small band.
Since I was away, I didn't even visit the blogs of my fellow figure painters - I hope you don't hold it against me too much. Well, it seems that a break was necessary.
A few days ago, I had a look at Benno's, and I discovered that Dark Alliance was about to release a set of Mummies. Mummies ? That was completely unexpected (at least to me)... but absolutely necessary for a painter whose nickname's Philotep :)
So I left a very small comment at Benno's, ordered this set as soon as I could, received the package a few days later, opened the box with excitement (a feeling long gone), and begun to paint the first minis this afternoon.
The first mummy is finished, I have taken a few pictures so that I can show you. Here you are:
Well, not my best, but I haven't touched a paintbrush for a long time. And I had difficulties removing the mold lines - something I have never been good at, but it is obvious that I must change my blade.
Some other mummies are on their way. I will take time to finish them properly, take better pictures, and write a small review about this set.
Hope you like this one anyway :)

Great to have you back sir!. I have been looking at this set myself (..must...be...strong..) So it is great to see a painted example, done very nicely I may add, the shading on the bandages looks great. I will be interested in seeing more.
RépondreSupprimerI think you should buy some, that's a set any fantasy wargamer should get! And I discovered that there were some painted stuff on your blog, so... give it a try :)
SupprimerMagnifique Philotep! Le Monstre se reveille..
RépondreSupprimerMerci Maudlin! Le monstre de la lenteur sans doute :D
SupprimerWelcome back! The Mummy Returns is perfect!
RépondreSupprimerThank you Jonathan! Not that perfect, but comment appreciated :)
SupprimerLe retour de la momie, c’est pas un filme ça ?
RépondreSupprimerLe lames ça s’aiguise au papier de verre très fin, c’est plus économique.
C’est pas mal pour un retour.
Merci bien. Le tuyau pour la lame, je note, quel grain ?
SupprimerThe mumy returns sounds so perfect!
RépondreSupprimerHappy to see you around Phil, nice mummy and keep on enjoying any hobby you have, that means enjoying life in every way
I had to go away for months, just to write a title like that :) Thank you Sceavus, happy to be back.
SupprimerI love it.
RépondreSupprimerIf You like Mummies, You should look for Arcane Legions Egyptians.
Elhiem Miniatures also has one simple mummy.
Thank you for your comment and for the tip. I thought these minis were all sold for a long time, but I checked on ebay, and yes, it would be a great addition to this army.
SupprimerWelcome back! Mini looking great!
RépondreSupprimerThanks!
SupprimerWow, you're back from the dead! (Like a mummy one could say :))
RépondreSupprimerHello, yes, from the dead, exactly. I thought I would never touch another figure in my life.
SupprimerVraiment superbe, quel retour extraordinaire!
RépondreSupprimerMerci Phil! Je suis un peu déçu du résultat, surtout à cause des lignes de moulage, mais à cette échelle c'est quasi inévitable. Je dois me dépêcher de peindre les autres, l'effet masse gommera le problème en grande partie.
