Title: Some old GW Dwarves finally painted up...........update 13/11
Post by: The Dozing Dragon on September 07, 2011, 01:22:36 PM: The female Dwarf's hat is the first bit of basic sculpting I ever did....about 25 years ago.....still needs varnishing.

I love the Dwarf Babe's hat...I shutter to think what WONDERS you're producing now if that's what you were capable of a quarter of a century ago. The Old Fellow with his cane is a GREAT & WELL DONE piece...me looks like a flattering take on moi.

Post by: Thantsants on September 07, 2011, 11:28:49 PM: Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't always get round to varnishing. ::)

The lady looks rather formidable in that hat - nice pj's too!

Post by: The Dozing Dragon on September 28, 2011, 06:40:10 PM: Nightmare with the matt vernish which dried patchy white/opaque in places.......finally managed to save them but it was a pain! Almost gave up on the female dwarf at the top but time and patience paid off :)

Post by: Thantsants on September 28, 2011, 10:15:58 PM: Nice rescue! - chap with the two-handed sword is a fave of mine.

Interesting basing style by the way - is it for a particular setting?

No, just went back to how I used to do bases years ago. A lot quicker but not sure if I like it....looked better before I posted the pics......

Post by: Thantsants on September 28, 2011, 10:49:41 PM: Fair enough - certainly a very stylised style if that makes sense?!

Must say I prefer mine a bit more naturalistic but I can see the speed thing being attractive!

Probably cause he's married to her.

But great painting and work, looking forwards to seeing more.

Number 2 is a slight conversion on an Citadel Goblin leader figure. Just a head swap and helmet added.
