A fourth special treasure is yet to be made (another 40mm diameter base):

I love these! I wish I was crafty enough to come up with this stuff. Sadly I just ordered the Frostgrave remade ones. Great work

Wow those are amazing! Those green bootles look EXACTLY like glass! How'd you do that!

Those are really nice tokens. I love the way you've based them. I ordered these from Ristul's Extraordinary Market (http://ristulsmarket.com/277-fantasy-treasure-chests-kit.html)
and I was really impressed. Excellent value. 12 different chest for about £10 and just right for Frostgrave. i was just going to leave them as is after painting but seeing yours I think I'll base them up now.

Paint them black, add green where the light collects - in case of glass that means at the bottom. You simply have to invert the usual highlighting from bottom to top. Add very small white dots for reflections and varnish it glossy.

Great work on those bottles to make them look so realistic.

Amazing! I'll keep trying and maybe get it!

Wonderful! Really amazing results, not only glass looks natural, gold and snow really caught my attention!

Great stuff Michi!

I can only echo the comments about the glass and the gold!

Uh, could you give some good advice of photography?

You use a special lens for those great closeups?

No, not a special lens at all. The camera is a Canon Powershot 550 from 2007. I adjust "indoor", "macro" and "flash off", get as close as the camera allows to focus properly and take a shot.
I cut the photo, adjust brightness, colour and contrast and resize it for hosting - that´s it.

Gorgeous! Are these hand-crafted or bought? Anyway, fantastic paintjob ! I particularly like the way you've done the glass.
