Venter Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Mesdames et monsieurs! Bonjour et bienvenues à "La Peinture de la République", my Republique of France painting blog . I've been lurking this forum for a while but I I decided that my first post had absolutely to be a painting one, so here we are! Let me tell you the painting tale of my Turenne de La Rochelle, then: first is a squadron of Lyon Class Frigates from the RoF starter. Higher res: http://s7.postimg.org/l09ipro2j/Lyon_S1.png http://s7.postimg.org/9mmzekdjv/Lyon_S2.jpg Up to you now... C&C appreciated - about my English and French as well . À bientôt! greg and vonHymack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiloSerket Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 This is really great so far! That level of detail is amazing. Can't wait to see the rest of the fleet. Venter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvainn Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 That's a fleet that's really going to stand out! Great painting so far, and I would like to see some of those freehands on the larger ships as well. FSAHoops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Klinkerhoffen Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 A nice start Venter, look forward to the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsair Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 With artistic flourishes like that, I'd like to see what you can create on Italian models! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venter Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Whoah guys thanks all! You're flattering . Unfortunately I'm not able to paint my whole fleet as fast as I'd like to, but the rest will follow for sure . As for the next model(s), I'm still undecided between Magenta MkII and Voltaires... suggestions? With artistic flourishes like that, I'd like to see what you can create on Italian models! Italians are being considered as the next fleet, but not while my 2210 pts. of RoF are still unpainted . After all this Art Nouveau inspiration, however, I think I'll go for darker and colder colours... but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.Mike Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Goodness... I cannot even begin to explain how smooth and incredible awesome these ships are! Suitably elite and graceful looking. Well done! -Mike Venter and Xercius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorrry, I did not have the notifications on - they're actually brown(ish), but the lights are grey, in order to desaturate them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
