Great job on those! Is the design on the shield(if that's what it is) freehand?

Wow, thanks everyone for your wonderful and encouraging remarks, its much appreciated. 

As for the skin tone, I used a very old bottle of Citadel Blue Grey (which having done a little research it looks like it then became Shadow Grey which in turn would make its most recent incarnation "The Fang") with varying shadows and highlights.  :-*   Looking at the conversion chart for GW Spacewolves Grey would also work.

And yes, the design on the shield is freehand.  :) Old school cool points will be awarded for anyone who recognizes it  8)

Beautiful work and one of my favourite stories!

Would any of these Ral Partha Giants do?

Thanks for the links -- the Ral Partha one is pretty good, but its hard to judge the size from the photo - I would need to see if next to either the Grenadier or Otherworld giant to know for sure.  :)

True - he might be a bit small. Not sure myself as I haven't seen him in the flesh.

The RP one is huge! (well, by RP standards... ;)) Maybe 3ins tall? I sold mine a ways back, but he is a big fellow:

Another place to look would be barbarians from a 54mm range. One of these might fit with these two nicely. That is where some of the giants I used came from years ago.

Very nice looking giants.  Looks like a City of Greyhawk shield on his belt. 

Via ebay the Ral Partha 11-436 TSR Frost Giant would scale well.  http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/sol/ral-partha/images/11-436.jpg

So many games, so little time.

Richard at OW has my RP frost giant, he should be able to tell you how it scales.
