Hershaddow Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I have several minis that I have been collected during the Christmas sales that I would like to display this year. For display, they need to be painted! Here is the start of 2 of them. My desk lamp died today, so I apologize for the quality of photos. Questions, comments, and critique are welcome. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dean Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Off to a good start...I need to do the same. Any thoughts on how you are going to display them? Diorama? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroorex Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 AAAACKKKK! not Christmas! not yet! its too early, go away. I have 2 million dollars to make other people spend between now and the new year... Unfortunately its on work stuff, not minis... Nice start on these though.

Hershaddow Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Rob: I have not fancy plans for display... yet. I need to figure out what I desire to display together. I have these, the rest of the familiars, I think 2 dragons with presents, father Christmas and Christmas eve and Christmas Knight. So the real question, is do I want a full display with all of them plus the ability to expand, or a smaller display. Do I want a static on or on where I can move the minis around on? I am going to thing about it while I paint them. I might end up putting these on a 1 in base and then creating a full diorama later with lift out pieces. Kangaroorex: It is coming! I was working on other pieces this week more than this group,but managed a bit on Santa dwarf. I really should do his skin next. I am failing at the in to out deal.

Rob Dean Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 For mine, I'm imagining that I'm going to pout them on separate bases so that I can move them around as new ones get added. I'm thinking a winter village scene, and I know somewhere in my card buildings pdf collection I have snow-covered ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershaddow Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 That sounds really cool Rob. Are you planing on posting some pictures as a WIP? I bet that would look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dean Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 When it becomes a real WIP, I will. Unfortunately, the key word was "imagining"...::P: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dean Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So, as an indication of what I'm thinking, here's my father's Christmas village, set up under the coffee table. All of his HO figures are on individual or pair bases. For the Reaper Christmas figures, I'm not expecting to add a railroad... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershaddow Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Very nice Rob. I don't think I have that kind of space. I do have some cases used to display baseballs or model cars. I might do a diorama in there. I haven't worked on the seal, I kind of hit a road block and am not sure where I want to go from there. Did some work on Santa. His skin tone was way to light so I washed it, trying avoid repainting in a darker color. and I am not sure that I succeeded in my quest. I don't know if I should build up the highlights and just give the shadows a few more washes or start the skin over. Comments and criticism are welcome. Lesser Gnome's Thopus in the background, because he has similar colors and I am working on him on the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
