Thanks

@WK - first of many - will hit all records when first the hole Puck's Dance is made available -

@Blue - Hard to see at the front, but yes it's a pistol, alright

Been awhile sinece I last gave you an updated on my collecting and painting John Pickford, but a few more minis have received some paint

- and then I've also found time to set up an actual Wiki. So moved it all from my Blogspot account to a free wiki at Wikia.

You'll find the new wiki here:

http://collectingjohnpickford.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Sorry about the rather blurry thumbnail-pictures but the enlarge ones are all fine. If anyone knows how to fix the quality of the thumbnails-just PM me with your advice, please

And now back to what its all about:

First, the last two WK set #1 Orange and Green Dwarfs:

The unit is now complete:

Second, is one of the promotional pieces I've got:

It's name is "Spiker" and probably some sort or Squig-beast for some Goblins. A charming little beast with a typical Pickford face expression.

And last, my two entries for the Monthly Challenge at the Otherworld Miniatures Forums:

For August these Giant Leeches:

Test pieces for improving my wet blendings.

And here, in September, I just finished the first of my 3 Eye of Terror's

A true nightmare glueing together (like all multipart white metal kits with small parts are) - but really joy painting - even all the eyes. Though, it will be a while before I start painting the Eye of Terror II and the Eye of the Deep

And should anyone feel for it and jump aboard the paint-a-Pickford bandwagon - well why not enter in the October month's challenge @ Otherworld's

Next months theme is ...: "Grab your Pickford's" : http://z9.invisionfree.com/Otherworld_Minis/index.php?showtopic=603

And like always there are more pictures to be found on the blog: http://clamshellsandseadogs.blogspot.com/

Really amazing work. I do like the paintjob on the Dwarfs unit a lot, but I think the Eye of Terror is even better

I love the Eye too, though naturally I have a soft spot for the dwarfs.

Very nice work on the dwarfs! The other models are lovely too, especially the leeches

Some great additions to the dwarf unit.The little spiker is cool too.

Thanks guys. Such a joy painting the WK Dwarves - enjoyed it so much that I have assembled another 8 and are in a phase deciding what colours to use on them. They will all be test pieces for the the next few units I'll be doing (until WK starts releasing the ponies

). Right now I'm playing with pink/grey, Yellow/Bordeaux, red/black, brown/off-white, blue/red - but nothing decided yet

Hi Clam... been following your blog but may as well say it here too... really great stuff and Pickford couldn't get better advertising by any means than by your brush!

clam · « **Reply #24 on:** October 04, 2011, 10:50:04 AM »

Wow, Spooktalker - thanks for such nice and encouraging words. Better get some more painted then - so Mr. Pickford can be kept busy

clam · « **Reply #25 on:** November 05, 2011, 10:38:06 PM »

Been a quite month - painting wise - sorry to have let you down guys - but wife got herself a new master bedroom, so she is rather pleased. Can't keep you all happy, can I?

But did get some paint on a few models for the regular challenges I attend.

First, the challenge at Otherworld. How would I look myself into the eye, if I didn't attend the Grab Yer Pickford's -

Should have done something big, of course - but time only allowed me to paint the unreleased Mimics.

And then, they ain't actually 100% Pickford's as the chest itself is sculpted by Paul Muller - shame on me

Next, a little creature painted for the Brush Slave at Chaos Dwarfs Online. Last months theme was beast, but had to paint something fast and played it safe painting this little promotional piece, John did back in 2005 or 6, I believe.

Last but definitely not least, WKs Mustard Seed received some paint. When Googling after a suitable hedgehog colour scheme I came cross an Albino Hedgehog, and after looking at that, I couldn't picture him any different

And like always, a few more shots at the blog: Clamshells and Sea Horses

Sorry I didn't check out your additions & comment before this...the stuff you've done is really FANTASTIC! I love the colors you chose for your WONDERFUL WK Dwarfs...a GREAT unit of Vertically Challenged Grumps. The rest of the Beasties are just too OH-SO-COOL to come up with a favorite. GREAT WORK!

Blackwolf · « **Reply #27 on:** November 05, 2011, 11:59:05 PM »

Nice work Clam

So many good fantasy threads at the moment

Chaos Wolf · « **Reply #28 on:** November 06, 2011, 12:10:18 PM »

Nice job!! The mimics and Eye of Terror are my favorites so far. Who makes the giant leeches?

clam · « **Reply #29 on:** November 06, 2011, 03:31:52 PM »

Thanks for the positive feedback - and should defintely encouragement me painting more.

@Chaos Wolf
Thanks

and the giant leeches are from Otherworld Miniatures' Dungeon Vermin-range - and can be found here: http://www.otherworld.me.uk/dvseries.html
