Title: C28 Nick Bibby Giants - We're going to need a little girl, a BFG and the Queen
Post by: whiskey priest on 28 October 2016, 06:30:44 AM

I've managed to get all 3 of Nick's excellently wonky giants painted. They are superb figures, and while not gigantic, they have so much charm it's ridiculous.

Very cool! I love seeing more of these (well!) painted. They're odd figures, but they have a great deal of charm to me.

It has been one of my miniatures "grails" to get the Nine Fingers configuration in the ad you've posted.

Lovely.  Haven't seen those three in many a year.

There is just something about the character of 'old school minis'.   

Sculpting has improved in recent years, but character hasn't always stayed as strong.
