Post by: Mudstone Miniatures on July 21, 2021, 04:10:40 AM: Those trolls are full of character. I like their size too.
Well done!

Post by: pacarat on July 21, 2021, 05:12:56 AM: Thanks folks. Resin prints from Artisan Guild, from a Phrozen Mini 4K.

Couple more shots... they are impressively big, and sculpt detail is fantastic.

And now a bit of greenery... shambling horde from Nolzur.

These were done with a mix of regular and Contrast paints, and lots of washes/filters.

Post by: Elk101 on July 21, 2021, 08:53:58 AM: Lovely paintjob on those. Nice figures too, I'd not seen those before either.

Post by: pacarat on July 21, 2021, 03:12:21 PM: Thanks all. They were new to me - a Christmas gift from my son. I don’t have a 3D printer so not really paying alot of attention to what’s out there unless I can get them already cast/printed.

Have a few human sized figs in the queue - their details are just as nice at 28mm.

Post by: Chief Lackey Rich on July 21, 2021, 03:14:04 PM: Those trolls are stunning sculpts, and everything's beautifully painted. Really like the size and Scandinavian feel to those designs, haven't seen such distinctive trolls since Mortal Arrow's "Pacific islander" styled stuff from a few years back.

You've also shamed me into finally finishing the last few details on my own shambling mound. A neat sculpt, that one.

Post by: pacarat on July 21, 2021, 03:52:43 PM: Thanks. Hadn’t seen those trolls before - some nice touches there. One can never have too many trolls. Interesting how the more recent ones are getting bigger - especially compared to my old Citadel and Ral Partha models. Very nice work on the shambler.

Post by: Elbows on July 21, 2021, 04:20:52 PM: Yeah, digging those troll sculpts for sure.

Post by: Cubs on July 21, 2021, 05:31:35 PM: Beautiful work on them, and great models too.

Re: the Scandinavian trolls, Artizan do some lovely ones - https://www.artizandesigns.com/list.php?man=25&page=1

Post by: Reed on July 23, 2021, 09:47:16 AM: Nice job on those Trolls, they look very menacing. Artisan Guild is one of the best 3d-printing creators right now, even if some of their works are quite cheesy.

Post by: pacarat on July 23, 2021, 03:18:53 PM: Thanks! I was really surprised at how light these figures are. Have a batch of Litko oval bases that are double thick (ordering mistake), so used them to give some mass at bottom. Drain holes in feet made perfect mounting points - cut some wood dowel and matching holes in bases. We’ll see how the resin holds up over time, given my usual klutziness...
