One for all and all for one - a musketeer and a miniature exchange
« on: September 27, 2016, 05:49:05 AM »
Ahoi,

I recently participated in a miniature exchange at my favorite German speaking forum: Sweetwater.

You know the drill: People send each other miniatures to be painted and receive a unique artwork in the end to add to their collection. There were no limitations in terms of period or setting, so I decided to sent out a slightly converted Dragonborn Bones miniature. I am sure it will see quite a bit of play in our DnD campaign.

I received a miniature from a period I was not familiar with at all, namely a musketeer roughly dated to the beginning of the 17th century. Yes, you think right: The three musketiers. Hagen miniatures sells a set called ‘The four musketiers‘, one of which I got in the mail.

Here is the final result:

Nice work: the original castings look a little rough in the photos on Hagen's site, but you wouldn't guess that from here.  Nice setting, too.
Back from the dead, almost.

To be fair they were a little on the rough side ;), but you can work with it.

Very sharp!  I will have to go look at their figures.  I really like what you did with him, and the photograph shows him off to perfection.
