The way you have executed the shading and highlights on the face is incredible.

Really beautiful to look at, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic painting as always

That is a mad and wonderful figure, and beautifully painted.

Top stuff - that Broo is a real trip down memory lane.

This is a great thread and a real trip down memory lane. I think I was still using humbrol gloss enamels and the equivalent of a masonry brush when most of these figures first appeared. Your work is stunning.

Agree completely, in fact what exactly what was a undercoat?

Stunning and makes very very envious of your superb collection, keep up the good work

Superb work, never got into the RQ figures all those years ago.
Kicking myself now, lovely sculpt and stunning paint job

A quick diversion to tackle the first of the Talisman models - the Troll. I tried to stay pretty close to the picture on his card, but a little snazzier. The base is just plain grass (to match the 'Outer Region' on the playing board), because these models are going to be very much playing pieces, not just display pieces.

Superb work, another classic from my teen years!

Lovely stuff.

Drawing a knife or scratching his crack...?

He's terrific! The red eye-sockets are a lovely touch - they somehow ground the green skin in reality.

That model always makes me think of the trolls in Jack Vance's Lyonesse: grumpy and grudging, yet committed to doing a job well (especially cudgelling someone mercilessly).

Both, its a Troll..

But superbly done, "playing piece"... wish my playing pieces came out looking that good

Wow, lovely work! The soil on the knees is a nice touch!

Thanks guys, he's a fantastic model (even if he does have an itchy bum) and was a joy to paint. I've got a couple more Talisman guys to do for a game we have planned (my wife, my daughter and I picked our characters in advance to give me time to paint them up!) but first up are a couple more Runequest adventurers to finish off the first boxed set.
