Popular Post Othikent Posted July 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2018 Finally found one of these in the wild and had to pick it up. The pre-applied primer on the miniature was bad, far to blotchy and thick. So I stripped it bare, even with the extra work it was defiantly worth it. Had a lot of fun with the painting and basing. I'd love to hear what you all think. 37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Awesome! The only thing that would improve it more is a little reflection dot in the eye. I like the colours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pochi Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 For me, the mouth is the best part. The way the gums and teeth look wet is excellently done!I do like the colors you have used. This is not a criticism, it's just a question. Never havng seen one in person, are you forced to paint the eye in that shape? All the ones I have seen have the eye painted like that. And hahaha at poor Cassie! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepnewbie Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Looks awesome. I've come to the conclusion that the center of the eye is hollow. Is it (hope I'm wrong), cause some I've seen look like it's that way. I'm waiting on mine to come in. Did you you use the standard mean green to get the primer off? Again, very nice job on it.

Ya the central eye is molded that way, the iris is recessed into the eye. It comes with a clear piece that's supposed to snap in over it, but I didn't care for it. I've seen someone (Doctor Faust from YouTube, I think) cover it up and paint there own eye over that. 7 hours ago, Jeepnewbie said: Looks awesome.

I used a fairly high concentration of simple green and water in a cheap ultrasonic cleaner I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eye is is sculpted into the model and you can't change the direction it is looking without filling with putty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bughouse Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Paint is great! The mouth is wonderful, but I like the small eyes and back scales even more. Makes me want to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridil Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Ooo - nice mouth, and the little eyes - it make the beasties look like its tilting itself back for a look - as if cocking its head (if it had such). It says to me "Mmm... is that a tasty adventuring party over there?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othikent Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Glad you like him. He was a fun project, I keep considering adding some strings of saliva to the mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
