I just finished my Reaper Bones Behir.
Took a while, but I learned quite a bit.
With each miniature I complete I try to push contrast further. I think it worked here. I think vibrancy of colours could be better, however.
I also tried out UV resin the first time and really like it for small water features.
C&C very welcome. I will work it all into the next miniature.

Amazing! That's one of the best paintjobs I've seen on a Bones miniature. Great colours, and what a base!
-
a stunning piece

Great painting but the basing and the use of the tree makes it outstanding. I really like the detail of the bird in the branches making ready to get outta there!

Lovely work!

Thank you very much! I tried to do my best and push myself. I admit, the material made it very difficult to remove mold lines, but it overall it is a decent sculpt and I can recommend it. It would be better in the Bones Black material, however.

Thanks, much appreciated. I think I spent at least as much time on the base then I did on the miniature. The beech tree was tricky. I really feel the miniature benefits from the verticality, as it is quite a wide, yet not very tall sculpt. Glad you spotted the raven! Didn't take long to paint it, but nice that people spot it nevertheless.
Here is a close-up:

A beautifully painted miniature and base! I am a fan of Bones stuff as there are lots of interesting sculpts available at a very reasonable price. It does take a lot of skill to make them look as good as this though! And thanks for the close up of the raven, it looks superb.

Really masterful. This is one of those minis where lengthy observation is rewarding - the longer you look at it the more details there are to appreciate. I missed the raven first time around. The highlighting on the scales, the translucence of the eyes and the detail on the tree are what really caught me. Incredible stuff. I'd love to see this fit into a wider army. Oh, and the staged photo is awesome too.

Amazing work. Love it!

Fantastic! What an excellent paint job,great choice of colour.The base is superb and the raven is alovley touch. Is the tree completely scratch buillt? I am curiuos about how you did the foliage? I am always trying and failing to produce realistuc trees

I agree, one has to be very careful in terms of casting quality (missing noses or soft details), but there are many gems to be found. The new Bones Black stuff is also much better. less bendy, so clean-up is easier.

Thank you. I always try to pack some detail into my stuff to reward the beholder... well, for taking the time to look ;). The eyes benefited greatly from a coat of gloss varnish. I might do this more often from now on. I have to think what kind of skirmish group it would fit into. It was intended for use in DnD, but would equally fit in a warband of wood elves.

Much obliged! The tree trunk is, but the foliage is MiniNatur. The stuff is just great and looks the part. It is a nylon netting with static grass and small laser-cut?? leaves attached to it. Very hard to replicate.
Not much wrong with that :)

Thank you for your kind words! I will, if our baby boy lets me :P.

Thank you, yes I am big fan of scenic shots. In addition the base works better in a forest environment with other trees around, as the beech tree modeled is not supposed to be free standing.
