I have that giant (in several scales due to my own fault ordering off of Etsy), I have a troll scaled one and turned the club into an uprooted tree...



Where are the goblins from? they are great.

Lovely to have so many interesting replies. Thanks.

Frugalmax - yes, Reaper paints do have a Matt finish. Not as matt as one of other paint lines i looked when trying to choose (Pro Acryl I think it was). I now apply Reaper Sealer onto areas where I want a satin finish (e.g. leather) after I've varnished. But I do like the look to defaulting to matt because that's my personal preference. I also really liked Vallejo and would have gone with them for sure. But as a new painter with no experience mixing paints and no understanding of colour theory I found the Reaper range really helpful.

anevilgiraffe - that pic boggles my mind. Surreal. And I didn't know there was a nudist Hill Giant. Great modding with the uprooted tree.

The goblins were from etsy. They are resin but by a company who seemed to do the best cured minis I came across when I was buying from there. They appear to have ceased trading on Etsy for a period of time, possibly indefinitely but have set up their own website (Master of Miniatures).

Here are the goblins:

I bought about 6 of these goblins and intend to paint them as as orange goblins - a distinct ethnicity within goblinkind of course, as you can see from their distinctive features.

I painted this fairly recently. I think it may be the most intensely coloured mini I've ever painted, which was fun.

Pedlar
Yes, the feet snapped when I tried to remove him from the base he came on to place him on mine. I forgot about that until I saw the pic I'd posted. I need to build him some new feet sometime.

I actually like his little feet.  Truthfully, it looks like he's dropping everything WHILE he's trying not to piss himself.  It's the peepee dance!

That's very cool! Where does the pedlar mini come from, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks for all your feedback folks. Not been on for a while because trying to move house and move jobs. But been painting lots to maintain sanity so will photo and post more in the future.

As for the peddler mini, I got him from Etsy. The seller has since left Etsy because he has moved to Brazil. The prints he does are the only resin minis I buy now because he cures them so well.

The merchant mini is here: https://www.masterofminiatures.com/product/villagers-vol-1/

You may find Villagers vol 1 on Etsy from another seller though.
