A single Indian. I wanted the bases to look like swamp-terrain, and I´m happy with the result. My LPL-Pic  wasn´t clear enough to show this effect  :?

He looks great, the swamp base and the reeds look very effective

Very nice effect. Can yo tell us how you got the look. Is it just gloss varnish over paint?

Yep. I painted different greens wet-in-wet and glazed it with 3 layers of gloss varnish.

Thanks, it looks really good. Just a minor observation would the reeds be better a green lush colour. I am thinking they look more suited to an arid desert given their bleached colour?

I would leave them as they are possibly to add a third contrasting colour you could paint the ear plugs and the beads/necklaces armbands either a white or green jade colour, these were often stones or shells and sometimes human or boars teeth. The penis is actually a sheath that they used to cove the old man  :D so perhaps a different colour for that?

Love the bow conversion too I dont think I would have the patience to string them and certainly not the skill to do it that well

Thanks. The stringing drove me crazy.

I get this now to, but the picture was up before. I'm assuming it's because the mini was nude. I bet famous artists don't get this! :lol:

Apparently Photobucket objects to pewter penis protectors. Pathetic.

TMP had a similar problem with "Wang" [amongst other naughty words] a while ago. The word "Gwangi" - as in "The Valley Of The.."- was censored!

Oh, the fun we had..... :lol:
