Flintloque original artwork by Edward Jackson

I am lucky enough to be the proud owner of a number of Flintloque Themed original artworks by Edward Jackson. Following a comment on the new Retroloque Facebook site I went searching in the attic for some of these. The first is The Princess Juliana Chasseur Elite regiment that were sculpted by me and released by Alternative Armies as a limited edition regiment.

The second is one of two pieces of artwork that I own showing Foul Mouth Freddy (the second is framed in my office) a Flintloque character that was also invented by me and is available as a limited edition metal miniature from AA.

The third image is of a Toadaroni character.

Thank you to Edward and I hope that you enjoy these 'blast from the past' images.

The Jabberwocky Tower part two - Miniature Wargames issue 498

Miniature Wargames issue 498 (October 2024) has the second part of a two part series in which I show how I first built and then painted this Disney inspired Jabberwocky Tower inspired by the artist Oliver Chipping. For more information about the magazine contents see this post.

The magazine articles give much more detail than this brief Blog post, but I have included a number of illustrations to show how this model was inspired, built and painted.

This was a sketch inspired by the Oliver Chipping illustration I found on the internet. My model copies the main themes, but does deviate from the original in some ways.

Construction was based on corrugated cardboard and foamboard cores detailed with balsawood, card, blue foam and DAS modelling clay. It is mounted on a 3mm thick plastic card base.

Painting commenced with an all over grey undercoat/basecoat followed by the thatch. The whitewashed walls were built up with diluted white acrylic paint.

More acrylic white for the walls and the wooden areas picked out in brown. The base was painted in a Snakebite Leather colour that I have had mixed up as a tester pot by my local DIY store.
