Save a Pound but...
Now, I don't normally post on topics not directly related to the hobby. But occasionally am off-topic post is needed. A friend and I stopped at Bosham harbour for a well deserved coffee after a MTB ride. With tide coming in, the harbour side car park was filling up and someone had forgotten to move their car! Attempts were made to find the owner but to no avail.
I recommend to pay the £2 to park in the nearby carpark if you come to Bosham harbour. As that doesn't flood.
Now this second picture is only 30 minutes after the first picture. Proving that the tide comes in fast! In case you are wondering there are plenty of signs warning that the tide floods the impromptu carpark and adjacent road on every tide. It would be fair to say that the owner was entirely happy when they returned to car a little bit later.
Goldberry
Anyway I have managed to paint a couple of minis including this repaint of Goldberry. Which I found surprisingly tricky because of the simplicity of the mini. There really very little detail and she is very uncluttered (for GW mini especially). Meaning that the dress needs to be blended smoothly.
After hunting round my paints, I found this green in a twenty year old pot of Humbrol paint. Whilst certainly an improvement over the first attempt. I am still not quite happy with the final result. So, will probably wait a couple more years, like I did between the first and second paint jobs.

Ouch! The car incident must have been quite a pain for the owner! On the hobby side, I find your Goldberry simply perfect. She looks sweet and delicate, and the dress looks amazing. I'll see what happens in a couple of years!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the owner was hoping for the magical transformation of his car into a boat for a cruise?!
ReplyDeleteYou did very well with Goldberry; we also like the glowing effect of the candle flame. If we understand correctly, did you use a mix of acrylic and enamel paint?
No Goldberry was painted in acrylics. It was just an old pot of Humbrol acrylic paint.
DeleteAs always thanks for the comments. Always helpful.
