Don't worry about the playdough look. More layers of paints and washes will remedy that. Remy will be the pinnacle of colorful odd in the midst of muted light blues.

Yeah, Remy is currently looking like a close relation of Mr. Bill. Yup, they must be brothers.

Not much online when I search for pics of the 1990's Ral Partha mini...
Below are most of the pics that I found. There are also two painted Ral Partha remorhazes on this forum, and both are light blue.
There are some nice non-standard paint jobs on non-Ral Partha versions that look really cool even though they look more like sea, fire, or angry bone worms. (now I want more minis)

@MoonglowMinis Thank you! That mini looked like it was a blast to paint (not so many #@mn€# annoying obstructive legs!). Is that the bones or metal mini?
Don't be shy about posting a pic of your mini in any wip thread I have started. Posting pics for inspiration is awesome, and might just be the swift kick in the assets that someone needs to continue pursuing a project, or to start/complete a long languishing mini. My paint jobs are usually on smaller less complex minis, so working on thus monstrosity is a major challenge.
Currently dry brushing again, and may monkey with the belly color again.
I must be a masochist, since the project is a major pain and I keep pressing on.
Remy does look rather garish in the previous pictures... looks like the antennae needs to be toned down. And that face. Gotta do more with that also.

Upgraded wurm 3.5. Changed out most reds to yellow.
There are not much in the way of pics of the old RP AD&D remorhaz, but the pictures that I found all of the creatures were a pastel icy blue (not to be harsh, but those paint jobs were not any better than my 1st attempt). So, at this point, I am pulling the color scheme outta muh seating stoma (aka making it up as I go along).
Now the red is on top of the yellow, and it seems better... maybe.
Remy kinda looks like some cosmic tripped out wurm at this point. There's still lots of work to go.

Added red, and dry brushed light blue.
The 8 pairs of legs are truly horrifying. And they get in the way of painting. And the tend to bend as they like at the thinner points. And there were no instructions for the placing of the 8 pairs of legs. Oh, and did I mention, it is a total pain in the posterior to paint the figure 'cause of the stupid legs?

Started painting the hot areas, but this is a fail. Idiot me forgot the coloration is reversed on hot objects, so it goes white, yellow, orange, red, purplish red, brownish red, black. Time to revisit the hot spots...
Yes, that paint bottle in the background is an artefact from painting armies of orcs, gobbos, tyranids, etc. It is amazing that the paint is still useable!

Remy has been hibernating for a while now, ashamed to show his lame light blue hide (a misguided attempt is a paint job). Now that the weather is colder, Remy has ventured forth to embrace his dream of a better paint job!
Yup, Remy and his buddy Grim in this pic.
Remy just got a wash of purple so he would not look like a pile of nauseatingly light blue excrement. White was being added to "heating surfaces".
... Remy still looks like scat, but dark blue instead of light blue.

Wine, women, cheese dip, frays & mulch. But it is all nothing without Rufferto. Wherefore arte thou Rufferto?
Did I err?

Inconceivable! Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.
Fun mini & great paint job.
Getting married is a very busy time... as Humperdinck said "Tyrone, you know much I love watching you work. But I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I'm swamped!"

**********WARNING NUDITY!**********
Dug out an old garage sale purchase, a Waring Pro Belgium Waffle Maker (model #wwm450pc)
It is like one of the kinds the hotels use. It is so user friendly that even I can make good waffles.
Check out the color on that naked waffle!
It was properly clothed with strawberries and cream later...

The problem with cataloguing all the minis is the identification process. Going through all the resources, electronic & paper leads to an ever expanding want list!

I am currently goofing around with a bunch of database type apps. It is kinda annoying, but I will eventually build something useful.
I have already taken pictures of all the minis that I could easily access, and now I am considering painting minis rather than cataloging the beasts...
I've been trolled! (found the trolls & orcs box)

Coffee is just a nice thing to have. It's also arguably how I get paid, so... I think we have four methods of brewing in the house at the moment, but eventually I'd like to try out other types of brewing. I'm rather curious about Chemex and V60, for example.
Chemex & Hario V60 are just fancy high-falutin' pour over coffee devices. The best thing about the Chemex is the filters. Both give good flow, and produce a good coffee.
My personal favorite is the old school siphon pot coffee maker. Rich, but smooth, low acid coffee. It is also fun to watch as it brews.

most of which are important (heating, coffee production stuff, miniatures workstation, computer, etc etc)
Caffeine is really important. There are about, yeah, 20 machines & things around the house that produce coffee or tea. And they all work differently!
A must for those all nighter painting binges.

Looking back through my postings my first Bones mini was this guy:-
Purchased before the first Bones Kickstarter!
I really want to paint one of these... Too cool!

I already have three more bookshelves and two wall shelves planned for one particular wall, then probably more shelves on a different wall in the living room, and then for the bedroom? You guessed it. A good amount of shelves!
What about the light up glass display cases for every corner of the house? Just consider the dioramas you could display...
Been surfing the topics in "Bones Miniatures & Legendary Encounters"
I feel more confident in the upcoming painting attempt. Thank you @Wren

Next year it's going to mainly be dragons though, assuming I can get a few things rolling after I take care of these last few things the most recent twist work threw into the works... Two of pretty much every dragon in the Kickstarter...
Time to get some more storage boxes...

I can pretty much say with certainty my first Bones mini was the orc used in the learn to paint kits. If not him, it was a skeleton, but I can't remember which one they have you do first...
I now have a... Reasonably sized stash of them, but nowhere near the size a lot of other forum members have...
So, that means you have 20...

I am hoping my bones figures will procreate like rabbits.
...but, what would be the offspring of 2 bones dwarves and one bones filth beast?

The smaller scale and tiny figures are the most challenging to paint well.
And there is always the question of "Why in the #€££! did I spend so much time on this figure when you need an electron microscope to even enjoy the paint job!"

What was your first Bones mini, and who won that first encounter, you or the mini?!!

Remy, the somewhat painted remorhaz, and his torturous misadventures towards his technicolored dream
in Works in Progress: Painting
Posted
Did more research (looked at pictures & videos of glowing metal) than painting, and now my inspiration leans more towards diy forges, smithing, and casting. I abhor (not) that massive rabbit hole called YouTube.
But, there was some progress on Remy. Brushes were abused, and a medium light blue bit of highlighting occurred on the top
as well as some warm colours on the belly.
Toned down the face by washing, dry brushing, and smudging various colours on the offensive appendages.
