Nick (and anyone else who cares) you are hereby cordially invited to attend at your pleasure Horizont in Esbjerg. We would be honoured and pleased with your company the last weekend of November.

Put a couple of whiskers on it and it cold easily be a Japanese Penis Fish...errr....Koi . Very nice sculpt!

[Zafarelli]

The sculpt is finished now and Jens(Known around here as Zafarelli) from pardulon-models.com will take care of the molding and casting in bronze-coloured resin.

Actually, it's a little more sophisticated than that

Anyway:


This is an unpainted casting, I didn't do anything else than polish it a bit. The scales need a bit more polishing, but otherwise, it turned out quite nicely, I think. What are the trophies for, anyway?

[Remington]

Hrhrhr, that's cute... Nicely done you two.

Wow..
Man, I SO look forward to tomorrow evening to hold it in my hands!
Even on the picture, the bronze effect is even more convincing than on the Golden Demon Statues.
Wow again...

What are the trophies for, anyway?

They are for the Horisont painting competition, mate!

[Dr. The Viking]

Absolutely fantastic you two! Looking forwards to seeing these (and hopefully (though not likely) getting my hands on one!)

To any one interested I'll repost the rules here:

Entries will be on display during the whole of Saturday and our competent judge, helped along by popular vote, will decide the overall winners of the categories.

A glorious trophy will be received by the talented individuals.

There will be three main categories:

    * Single Historical Miniature

    * Single Science-fantasy Miniature

    * Diorama

There's one fish to be won in each category.


Diorama  Category: The Diorama must be no larger than 25cmx25cmx25cm. It is the opinion of the Judge that if you can't contain your diorama on this surface you're on a deroute.Larger compositions often wind up clumsy. Other than that you're completely free.

Single Historical Category:
 The entries in the historical miniatures category will be judged by the quality of the painting job and the technical skill displayed. Not so much the historical accuracy.
As Horisont is a miniatures gaming convention only miniatures that are actual gaming miniatures can be entered into the category. As such 56mm Andrea Miniatures as an example are not eligible to enter.
The size cap is up to and not including 56mm miniatures

Single Fantasy/Sci-fi Category: Troll/ogre sized minis are OK in this category but like for the historics only minis below 56mm scale are eligible. Other than that

Guys, it took me a little while to actually do the woodwork and the other stuff that still had to be done, but now it is done!

Have a look:


 

Plaques will be added to the bases according to the categories in which they have been won.

I hope you like it.

[Dr. The Viking]

Fantastic work!

Now I have to get cracking so I can take it home... 

[dijit]

Yes very very nice Karsten and Jens.
