Alas, in attempting to remove the mold line from his head, I instead removed his left ear and half of his right ear. He's been in some bad bar fights, it seems. After that I quit worrying about it and moved on, figuring that if I spent much more time on that mold line he wouldn't have much head left. I removed the axe he was originally holding in his left hand, and also cut off his right hand, painted it separately, and rotated it so that the sword is pointing more out and less down. It may be a little more awkward to position in the map with the sword sticking out and bumping minis, but I think it looks better that way. I spent almost no time on highlighting. It was -- get a clean base coat on, wash, hit a few of the highest points really fast and move on. The figure itself took four hours. The base added another 2.5 hours. And it was all done in one sitting. And on that note, it is long past time for bed.

Hey all! Been a bit busy lately as the semester is back in full swing and I'm in the middle of packing to move. My paints aren't put away yet (of course) so to try and practice, I painted up Thund here a few days ago. I somehow missed the giant mold line across his head until I looked at the picture just now. Sigh. His cloak gave me problems too. I did actually wash it, but I don't know if I then left him standing up and the wash ran out of the crevices of his cloak or if I just reapplied too much paint when drybrushing or both but by the end I was just frustrated and sorta vindictively sealed him and called him done. He'll suffice for sitting on the tabletop at least. C&C welcome as always! And any tips on the cloak issue would be appreciated too.
