fieldarchy Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I painted this mini over the weekend. I didn't take a whole lot of time with him because there were some terrible flash lines I couldn't get rid of! So I painted him to be a little better than table top quality but not quite what I'd put in a show case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voladilk Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well you definitely achieved what you sought out to do. It is definitely better than table-top but if you wanted display there are some places it could be touched up, but you know that and it is not what you were going for so I say "Job well done!" I love the red cloak on this one and the silver edging really picks out the details. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drjsallison Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 When I saw him in your queue, I was wondering what the colors were going to be. I like the way the red and silver are working together. I don't see those colors together nearly enough. Being I saw him in his 'all black' stage, I really like how well you got the silvers to come out so bright. The aged look is a cool one for this guy. Good stuff, Meg. Keep em coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thanks again guys. I like the way he turned out. He's a good table top mini to play with but still have something lookin' cool on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 the metals look a bit thick, but other then that I love what you did this one, love the way the metal comes out vs the reds nice work RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 The metals are actually thinned down quite a bit. I think it's just a bad cast of the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Haha, your mid quality is pretty high to me. Agreed, the red and silver go good. That would be an awesome game piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turhan Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Great to see some minis that will get some game play. Those works of art we see here so often are inspiring, envy-generating and pretty to look at, but I always come back to this: What will I do when the gang kills it in battle and it has to lie down on that scruffy game board? Will it still look good after collecting dust in the garage with the other minis? Will I cry if it dives to the concrete floor?? (Did you know dwarf minis almost always land on the top of their head? I have some flat headed dwarves to prove it.) Encore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Turhan, I often have the same sentiment. I figured I've been doing so many commissions lately and personal pieces of art that I just needed to do some tabletop, gameplay minis. I'm also doing the praying paladin as a tabletop in black armor with blue accents. Should be nice. I just needed a couple new play minis.
