OK. Time to show you what I've been doing. I decided that for once I need to put my money where my mouth is, and have a crack at one of the monthly painting contests Librarium-Online runs. The current theme, for those who don't know, is
MEDIC! With this in mind, and recently having come across a great looking mini and piece of old Salamander fluff I dived in. The mini itself has little conversion work done to it - the main thing being I gave him a straight aiming right arm (why does GW not produce these? Its annoying... ), the rest is just basics.
Overall I am really happy with the way he looks. He has lost some of the more subtle shades and highlights in transference to a photo, but it happens. The only thing I am really not happy with is the "glass" vials. I just couldn't get it right, something I need to work on. My favourite part is the red. Its a really nice, deep tone. I love it!
And now... pictures!
I'm impressed. I can't wait to see how you base it.
ReplyDeleteNice work, good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI really like that man, its a great mix of colours - it makes it a very vibrant model. Good job :)
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Can't wait to see him based and finished. Do you plan to do some OSL from the lamp on his back?
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDeleteDa Green Skins - I plan to stick with the Salamander's theme and attempt my first lava base.
Noeste - I am not no. I am still not confident enough to wander into that territory just yet. One day.
I never would have guessed Salamanders from your helmet tease. The colors look great together.
ReplyDeleteJcroxford - That was sort of the point. But thanks. =D
