Nuala from Mierce Miniatures

[Blue Prophet]

I think this is the first time I am showing off a miniature on this forum. I've been painting a couple years now and have done a several dozen minis, which I may share here at some point. I'm pleased how the photography turned out on Nuala taken with my iPhone 5.

 

Nuala is a metal model from the Erainn kindred by Mierce Miniatures. She is the first of their models that I've painted. She still has a dagger that needs to be glued to her hip, I just wanted to photograph her before varnishing in case the colors change (and to document whether the colors change). She has such fine features, and my Series 7 brushes are finally starting to lose their sharp tips, I need new ones soon. I've done a number of Bones figures, but the only thing similar to Nuala's scale that I've done were a few models from Red Box Games.

 

I must admit that I shamelessly stole lots of the color choices from MaGie's version of her. I find that copying great painters helps me learn. And yes her left eye being messed up bothers me, but I'm too nervous with my brushes to try to fix it. And in person with my less than perfect eyesight, I can't tell her eye is that bad.

 

She's also the first figure I painted using the new Rathcore Grip from his Kickstarter. Those things are amazing.

Awesome paint job all the way around!  I really like the wrappings on her arms, what colors did you use?  I have had a couple of figures with wrappings like that and I just can't get it to look right.

 

Also how do you like the Mierce Miniatures?  Easy to paint?  Good clean details?  I have been considering picking some up online but can't tell the quality.
