‘80s Dwarf

[FireImp 140]

I was gifted a box of about a hundred old minis last year, some painted, some not. The original paint jobs were serviceable, but basically base coats with no wash or shading to speak of.  I’ve been painting about a year and a half.

 

This fellow was painted, so I stripped him down, then using the original color scheme, re-did him. Except for the hair. He was originally a brunette. I really like the sculpt, especially that beard!

How does one just get gifted a box of 100 old minis? That’s what I’m wondering. Nice little dwarf you painted there!

Nice old school mini and painted up well - good choice making him a red head - what with the green and all.

Friend of a friend was clearing out his old “childhood” toys, asked my friend if he wanted them (which he didn’t), but my friend said, “ But I know someone who would!” There’s a bunch of old Ral Partha, as well as many w/no maker mark, like this one. Someone said they recognized it as an old GW mini. I’ve been trying to get good enough at painting to do these wonders a respectable job. 

 

Here’s a couple more. The Sackville-Baggins’s, and another ranger, of the human bent.

Nice paint jobs. I really like the colors on the Sackville Baggins pieces.  I recognize that ranger. He is one of the three stage character models Ral Partha did in the late 80's . He came in a blister pack with two other models. Each pack was supposed to have 3 versions of the same adventurer with varying grades of equipment to represent progression through gaining levels. You may have two more versions of this fellow with better armor in that pile somewhere.

Wonderful painting - love the ranger's shield!

I think I got two of the three. There was a ranger with a similar pose that had a knife. I painted him up and gifted him to the friend that channelled these oldsters to me. No sign of the third one. Thanks for the bit of history on the figures.

I like how the blue under his caps is echoed in the blue on his sword .

Nice job on all of these.  I love old school minis!
