Faerie princess
« on: May 26, 2010, 02:44:39 PM »
Another Foundry elf, rescued from the dust of Malamute's loft to be given a good home...





This is my first attempt at basing with Silflor flowers, in part inspired by Regulator's brilliant Landsknecht bases. They're very fiddly to work with, so more practice is needed, but I do like the effect when they're up against a bright paint job.

Very Nice! (if perhaps a bit "Christmas-y" ;)).

Cracking. The flowers work really really well with this kind of mini.

I like it. Nice job Paul.
I've always liked this range of minis - although I have no conceivable use for them!

Read "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel". I think you'd enjoy it and would give you a few ideas.

Very much looking forward to reading it - glad to know it gets good reviews.  ;)

Those flowers look great - never thought I'd ever say that in a wargaming context!  lol

nice to see those mins getting painted, I like them allot but as stated above, I have a hard time figuring out what to use them for.

Lovely paint job. Brilliant base.

Lovely stuff, I've been thinking of getting a few, making their dresses more georgian and turning them into Flintloque minis... :)

Great PJ and I like the colour choice.

On the subject of what to do with them I liked the idea from the Frothers showcases of using this line as either Vampires for gothic horror or fantasy Dark Elves.

Cool figure, and a very nice paint job. I can imagine one or two good uses for it.

Where is this mini on Foundry's site? I couldn't find it.

*edit* Oop, never mind: found it.

Excellent book - very bizarre and imaginitive and very easy to read. I really enjoyed it.

Lovely brushwork on the figure, by the way  :-*

I love the design of her dress  lol
