Great to see this thread rising from its (admittedly shallow) grave and walking among us once more.

Some fantastic painting there by you both.

The wizard in particular is outstanding.

Hey Guys (and Gals?)

Anyway... I haven't abandoned this thread yet... I just had a bit of a set back. I am stationed with the US Forces overseas here in Germany, and my mother, who has had many years of bad health, went into Home Hospice Care at the end of May. I had to fly back to the states to help provide that care and didn't get back to Europe until the end of August. I have been playing catch up with all my family duties here... and work etc etc, and have only managed to put primer on the figures from the current box I am working on (Females #2007).

Hopefully, I'll start into them seriously soon... but my free time has found me playing Fallout 4 recently... ughhh...

Remember... this isn't a contest, or Challenge... just paint along, or post what you have done.... Inspire Somebody else or receive inspiration/motivation. Its all good!

I finally got my Wizards boxed set finished. As usual, a couple of them were rushed, just to get them finished, but they're finally all done. The photos aren't the best, taken at home with poor lighting. I'll see what I can do later with the lighting rig at work.

I'm moving on to the Dwarves set next....

I don't paint my miniatures (I did paint two back in the 80's - a Citadel Druid with sickle, as I got him in a trade and he was primed anyway, and a Grenadier lizard man with club), but it's so good look through this thread and see all these "people" I have known for years in new ways. For example, I feel like I finally get the cleric from the Wizards set now that I see him wearing black. Of course he is! Also, seeing the lizard men with caucasian flesh tones boggled my mind a bit. I'm not sold on the idea, but It'd never have even entered my head before. Thanks for posting photos, everyone.

And, holy crap, you have a great sense of colour, otherworld. Those wizards are pretty magical.

While I was cleaning them up for priming, I got the idea of the half man/half lizard thing.... If I was a better painter, It might have translated better. Still, I personally like the idea and it is a unique take on it, if I do say so myself!

Great work on the wizards, I really like the colours and the look you have gone for. The wizard with the giant hand is an interesting model!

Pangolino · « **Reply #190 on:** November 07, 2016, 02:27:52 PM »

I agree about the wizard with the hand-spell (included in the box were two possible spell-additions - the other one, if I remember, was sort of a gorilla-head. The hand is better). And I especially like that the mist/smoke is tinted blue - and also that it's a different blue than appears coming from the other wizard's cauldron.

I'm making good progress with my set of Dwarves. In fact, 9 out of 10 are almost finished, just a few small details to do, then bases to paint, and a coat of varnish,

Unfortunately, the last model - the crossbow team, had a couple of casting flaws and also signs of the dreaded lead rot, so he needed some repair work and a bit of reconstruction. So he's a bit behind the rest, and will have to be tackled as a separate job later.

They've been a lot of fun to paint. Here's a quick snap with my iPad, I'll add better photos later, next time I have my lighting set up in the office.

I'll get that crossbow team finished one day, I just got sidetracked by some old Asgard lead!

Superb, the background really makes your figure shine.

Hope you don't mind that I ask: How do you take your pictures? I'm struggling a bit with miniature photography lately, and any tips would be welcome.
