RP/ADND Marid

[ultrasquid]

This has been sitting in my box merely base-coated for decades until a few weeks ago. This marid (water genie) is huge and heavy, made of solid lead, 3 and 1/8" tall including the base. The integrated base was an issue, as it was too shallow to keep the figure from tipping over backwards. So I fixed it with some fiber card and Squadron putty, and probably killed a bunch of brain cells sanding; but he doesn't tip over anymore.

I used a lot of interference glazes for the pants, sash, and shoes. I am really liking the new varnish I'm using.

That sculpt is one of the best Ral Partha did for the AD&D line.  It's always good to see one of these pieces painted up.  Well done.

Looks like my physique but less hairy and better proportioned (not to mention less tubby) !

 

Great work! Those pants are an excellent feature.

[Pingo]

What a charming old sculpt, good-looking from every angle and full of character!

 

I like his luminous, squashy green flesh.  And I have to say, you really made those iridescents work for you.  That's a great sirwal!

Fantastic work on that cool, old school figure!
