« on: 14 November 2013, 04:32:43 AM »
Hey guys. It's good to be back.

Modelling the horn...



after base coating...



... and painted,





... and for comparison:

That's hilarious!  
All PFB is hilarious. =)

Also... nice army, ga... nah.  ;D

Did you consider painting the horns golden, to make them stand out a little more?

Nicely done of course, but I'm surprised nothing within the wargaming mini trade suited your purpose!

I was with Bergil, seeing the source, but agree: A great end result!

Our entire yak herd came from a bin of plastic toys. The clerk at the store was perplexed as to why 2 adults were so excited and  having her comb through the boxes in the back.

Lovely work! Those models have lots of life and motion; I can see why you liked them.

For some reason or other I had thought of Unicorns as solitary creatures...one of the reasons for their extinction.
At any rate, the Herd looks WONDERFUL...some SPLENDID modeling,painting, & basing are involved here. Thinking outside of the box as far as models is concerned is a real plus with moi. WELL & IMAGINATIVELY DONE!

Nice one. Reminds of the film 'Legend'. With a very young Tom Cruise.
