But the model looks all the better for it. Great mini. And the painting is not too bright. This is what I believe a dwarf would wear. Strong yet not bright colors. And I like that free hand on the cape. Really good.

Yet another Old Friend! That is a WONDERFUL mini to paint & you've done the Old Guy justice...freehand, color choices & brushwork are OUTSTANDING. VERY WELL DONE!

I love how you painted the face and the muted colours look really good. I don't recognize the mini, where is it from?


Cheers,

Arthadan,
That's lovely - the blending on the cloak is smashing work. Obviously, when when you ask someone if they want something right, or right now, you know its better to be right than quick! ;)

Thanks for sharing!

HA! You sir need to know your proper place in the "slowest painter in the world" line. You are in front of me for sure. :-)

That is a great sculpt with an excellent paint job. Doesn't look out of place with newer more complex sculpts either.

Thanks for the info Arthadan, you guys 'across the pond' are so lucky to have Mirliton miniatures.

I hope you paint up another soon,

That is a beautiful sculpt and a fantastic paint job. Thanks for sharing. Any more in the pipeline?

I think I will head off to the Mirliton site soon and track him down.
