Classic C08 High Elf Casualty

He's Dead Jim

Finally put some paint on lead and finished off a classic High Elf mini. Great fun to paint and seemed to paint up really easily. 

He’s not dead, he is just resting!

Ral Partha Cloud Giant Finished

Ok - So I have a Bit More to do on the Base But let's Not talk About That!

I am calling this one done, I want to add a bit more to the base once the first layer has dried but basically the painting is done. Given this mini has been in production for forty odd years it still holds up remarkably well. Tom Meier doesn't get talked about as much as some of the Citadel sculptors but he was knocking out like this one, years before the good people of Nottingham. 

I was thinking some of the detailing around the feet was a bit soft but honestly I am now thinking that the standard has just moved on and I am over thinking this one.

The Giant Lumbers On

Finally some Painting

Now  much time for painting lately but did manage to get some more paint on the giant. He is starting to look more human (giantish) after some lighter flesh tones. I decided to get the beard and hair done before any more flesh tones. To see how he looks and if the colours work together. 

I haven't decided which army he naturally aligns with because, I thought he looked quite like a friendly forest giant until I noticed his tusks. So he may be joining the forces of evil...

Up In the Clouds

Five Colours  finished on the Flesh Tones

Finally got round to starting the Ral Partha cloud giant. And now five colours in (Bugmans glow > Reikland flesh tone > Bugmans glow > Bugmans glow/death claw brown mix > death claw brown) on the skin tones and at least another three to go. And probably at least one more wash. He looks browner in the photo than on the painting table. But as I use more ‘flesh’ tones he should get a bit pinker. There is lots of great detail on muscles making them easier to paint.
