Nameless Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Here's a small diorama I made with two dwarves from Red Box Games. Nice characterful sculpts, as you'd expect from Tre Hansel and Gretel aka The Fantasy Police Squad (though Tre gave them different names) I even made a short background story There's a part of truth in every fairy tale... They origin from true events, but tale gets changed, twisted and modified every time it it told. Take the Grimms' tale of Hansel and Gretel as an example. They were brother and sister indeed, but while they were small they sure weren't children. The hag was not old and ugly, quite the opposite. But, she ate children, it was proven beyond any doubt. The wood was not as dark as Brothers Grimm say; Hansel and Gretel were not lost there, but were searching for the hag hideout, as this was their assignment. Finally, they did not use any tricks to fool the hag into the oven. Instead, Hansel put a crossbow belt straight through her chest and Gretel chopped her head off. Then, just in case, they indeed burned her body. We shall present true story of Cinderella in our next episode of "Uncover the truth" after two small minis I painted a big one - Jabberslythe from Games Workshop (by the way, I've written a review of that model). I felt like painting a big monster, but didn't want to pay for it, so I bought this one, painted it, and now I hope for some luck on e-bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabberwocky Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Great diorama scene, Nameless! Awesome work on the RBG dwarves. They are small! I really like the Jabberslythe. Cool color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrift Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The vivid colors for the dwarven scene really make it feel like an old time wives tale/Grimm's tale! Excellent. I love the complexity of the skin shading on the Jabberslythe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I have a few of those dwarves on my workbench right now... I know how small they are. Great job on them. And agree, love the skin textures of the Jabber.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 thank you @Stubddog - indeed, they are small. it makes them hard to paint, but also makes Tre's sculpting skills even more impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
