Kelcore Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 So, I get this guy in the mail, and much to my delight discover that there's an alternate head to the rather impressive helmeted version. A head that suggests a bald-guy with a goatee, even! So, always happy to paint another "mini-me", I went with that. I already know about the frakked up highlight on the sword. I caught it AFTER the photos were taken. *sigh* a piece is "never finished" eh? Anywho: enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelcore Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Where's the cabbage leaf toupee? I was tempted... But, it IS Mangu Timur, badest mof-fo of Malvernis. Not Kelly Rowe, icebound paint-flinger in the enchanted mitten. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixminis Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Kewl - looks kind of like "Ming the Merciless!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlady Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I like it! I like the helmetless version of the sculpt (now I might have to get this one), and I like your color scheme. Is that really a purple-ish cast to his armor, or just the way the pics came out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelcore Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Kewl - looks kind of like "Ming the Merciless!!!" "FLASH!!!! AAH-AAAH!!!!" Thanks Michael, I'll have that stuck in my head all day. I like it! I like the helmetless version of the sculpt (now I might have to get this one), and I like your color scheme. Is that really a purple-ish cast to his armor, or just the way the pics came out? Yep! Various glazes from the Indigo triad made appearences in the purplish cast of his armor. I was going for a dark, "black, but not black" feel. Though I fell short of that, I still think it looks pretty cool. Glad you like him!

Mojoman Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 What...?! No glasses? I hope he's wearing contacts... otherwise, how's he supposed to see to decapitate his foes? Wild swings are at a -10 on the hit roll y'know... Rockin' paint job Kel. I looovvvee the purple armor... even if it wasn't quit what you wer going for! -mojoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's okay, I think the size of that sword and an enthusiasm for wild swings that can only be described as "disturbing" make up for the attack penalty!

faol Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The likeness is quite amazing I too thought of Ming from Flash as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelcore Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Very nice work . What , you said you made a mistake , since when? Where ? Must be so minor that I can't see . Love the gold work ! The highlights on the largest flanged part of the blade facing the ground are a bit rough. To say nothing of abrubt. And, looking closer at it: the higlights on the tip of the blade need a bit of smoothing out too. *gets off fatass in rocking chair* Wow! LOL! 'Bout time!!!! The likeness is quite amazing I too thought of Ming from Flash as well LOL! yeah, he IS kinda Ming-ish. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) When the green went up of this fig, I wasn't particularly impressed; I really liked the previous Mangu mini. BUT Dude, you rocked him. And the un-helmed head is cool. I like when they add that option in figs. And I think you pulled off a pretty cool effect with his breastplate. It looks... irridescent. ~v Edited December 18, 2007 by Shakandara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisandra Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Purple! Pretty Purple... No seriously love the mini, The sword looks a little wonky and I can't see enough of the face to coment But it matches your Avatar pretty well ;). I love the purple on his vestments... And I'll steal him and Vince's Battle Kitty any day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll steal him and Vince's Battle Kitty any day! I'll prolly fix up the sword sometime in the next few days. I can do better, and my paint should oughta reflect that, no? LOL! Stealing is wrong, Alisandra! Though he may be available for sale aftter the holdays (I'm actually considering keeping him and using him as an Overlord leader. Maybe even Matisse, proxy rules be damned). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
