Some old GW Dwarves finally painted up...........update 13/11

The female Dwarf's hat is the first bit of basic sculpting I ever did....about 25 years ago.....still needs varnishing.

Those are FANTASTIC! I love the Dwarf Babe's hat...I shutter to think what WONDERS you're producing now if that's what you were capable of a quarter of a century ago. The Old Fellow with his cane is a GREAT & WELL DONE piece...me looks like a flattering take on moi.

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't always get round to varnishing.  ::)

The lady looks rather formidable in that hat - nice pj's too!

Love them both, but that Old Boy's face says it all!

Great expression!

Awesome PJs. And like others already said the Old guys face is extremely well done.

Ohh, and "nice hat", of course :)

Nightmare with the matt vernish which dried patchy white/opaque in places.......finally managed to save them but it was a pain! Almost gave up on the female dwarf at the top but time and patience paid off  :)

Saw and loved these on Frothers, but I hadn't seen the first two yet. Great work on both!

Nice rescue!  - chap with the two-handed sword is a fave of mine.

Interesting basing style by the way - is it for a particular setting?
