Fram repurposes various figures (update 10/15 Orc Hero)

[DeafNala]

VERY COOL...an Elvin Stylist & a Skeletal Caterer! I really enjoy your choice of minis & painting style; each new post is an event. GREAT WORK!

[FramFramson]

a Skeletal Caterer!

This is more appropriate than you think!

I wanted to paint the cauldron contents with something different than the usual "bucket o' blood" or "Mysterious bright green/blue/purple brew", so I decided to just paint some natural but ambiguous colours, with a golden yellow centre fading to a reddish brown rim (glossed over afterwards). It doesn't show in the photos, but after I finished painting, everybody here said that it looked like he's got a pot full of crème brulée.

Please tell me you have works in progress shots of your creation!

[FramFramson]

Er. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but....  >__>

I may have to require that you build another one! 

[FramFramson]

Wait... you mean a how-to for how I make my custom Mage Knight dials? I thought you meant WIP shots of my painting that skeleton figure. I didn't sculpt any of these myself, if that's what you meant!

[Ninja]

Ahh I thought you may have created your skeleton pot holder!

[FramFramson]

Haha! I wish I was that talented!

[FramFramson]

Here's the fellow who was so unceremoniously dropped yesterday (this is post-repair).

[DeafNala]

I am delighted to see he survived the fall...I drop my minis so often I consider it a rite of passage. He is a WONDERFULLY ornate character with an equally wonderfully expressive face. OUTSTANDING WORK!

[FramFramson]

I was very lucky that the face survived the fall. All that armour's good for something after all, eh? 

[Jevenkah]

Awesome armor! Glad to hear it absorbed the damage! That's some wonderful variations in the metal colors.

I re-replaced a figure I had already replaced. 

[DeafNala]

The Babe turned out BEAUTIFULLY! You did a truly SPLENDID job on her face....definitely more an upgrade than a replacement. VERY WELL DONE!

[FramFramson]

Thanks DeafNala, that was definitely one of the faces I'm happier with.

The face on the previous incarnation turned out really nice face too , so the pressure was on to get this one right! I did save the old one though, swapping her out to use as a different hero.

If anyone's interested this was the Ax Faction Raen of Rannoch, with a conversion job to give her a less ridiculous sword.
