Fantastic stuff, that McDeath is something else Cubs. I was also just looking at the old Citadel wizards a few days ago and realised I'd never noticed that Jenny figure before and then it appears here.

Great to see you get an entry in Chris, lovely figure.

The Righteous-Indignant Paladin! What a brilliant figure Chris  lol

Could it possibly be modelled on someone currently being fulsomely righteous and indignant on this very forum? ;)

Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

Mind you, a "I see what you did there" would have sufficed.  ;)

42. Ral Partha Giant 1979

A fantastic sculpt,still stands up today. Tom Meier's work always has such energy.

That is absolutely great. That very miniature arrived at my house from RPE about 2 days ago. Definitely a great sculpt that your PJ has worked well on.

That's the very first miniature I put paint to some time in the early eighties
 Admittedly its a combonation of wiped of oil paint, and mad dry brushing. But it still makes an outing in my son's D&D .
Still a cracking figure and some lovely brush work (patterns often fight back on such fliud fabric folds. )
Mark.

Quite tempted to throw some paint at another figure .

Skaven Clan Moulder Pack Master by Games Workshop

I believe this is a 90s sculpt from the same time as the Rat Ogre i posted here previously. Not sure about the sculptor.

44. An angry giak

This is from the 1985 Giak Attack boxed set. I reckon the Perrys made the best of the GW orcs and submit this fellow in evidence.

This model is my implementation of the Mithril Miniatures1994 release "House of Elrond".



As you can see I have replaced the rather unsatisfying twiggy tree with a more suitable GW plastic one. The miniatures themselves have the same loveliness which the company's premier sculptor Christ Tubb has instilled in most of his work.

Unfortunately the production quality suffered some from the shift where lead was omitted from the casting metal.  The early ministures were  noticably more crisp in detail.

The Mithril Miniatures Middle Earth range is what had me collecting and painting miniatures back o so many years ago. It was a real joy to paint one again.

No. 46 Fire Giant




Another one of the fantastic Ral Parthy giants sculpted by Tom Meier. Smaller than his companions, but not that much dumb looking ... I played with some oils on his skin (love the smell of oil colours from time to time) and used Tamiya Clear Red on his armour (thanks to Pappa Midnight for this effect).

Fantastic entries all around here, one of the highlights for me is Blackwolf's giant with that lovely kilt!  :-*

More fantastic entries.   :)

(I have a suitable mini and primed today.   :)  As a weekend-only painter, can't start painting yet.   :( )
