undead 07034 Grave Wraith

[MiniPainterDMan89]

Hello All,

 

Here is a Bones USA 07034 "Grave Wraith" I completed last week.

 

Thank you for looking.

Good work, love those tombstones!

[Rigel]

Those tiny malevolent glowing eyes are perfectly done!

[Chaoswolf]

Fantastic paint job!

Nailed the base.  Perfect Halloween vibes.

Thank you all for the compliments.  I appreciate them.

 

This Grave Wraith miniature reminded me of a Wraith miniature from the Grenadier Models "The Lord of the Rings: Middle Earth Metal Miniatures" boxed set "Sauron's Dark Ones" from 1985.   It had floating eyes sculpted into the hood.  I wanted to replicate that look.  So, I drilled two tiny holes in the hood and glued two very tiny metal beads into the holes.  This made it easier to paint "floating eyes".

Oh, that's clever! I'll have to use that technique. Thank you for sharing!

that's awesome, looks great 

 

can't imagine how hard it was to get those beads in there,

 

more like grains of sand!

Thank you.  It was not as hard as you think.  I did use a very small drill bit.  Then a needle with a bit of super glue on the tip to put the glue in the holes.  Then I just kind of rolled the Microbead into the hole. Used the dull end of a paint brush to push it fully into the hole.  I got the Microbeads from Greenstuff World.  Sorry Reaper Guys for plugging one of their items.  I know someone would probably ask where I got such tiny beads.

You are welcome.

Thanks for sharing the technique for the eyes. This guy is very cool...nice highlight work with the cloak.

[Count Urlik]

The eyes are indeed, remarkable, thanks very much for the tip/tutorial!

 

But, it’s the cloak that really wins the day for me.  That highlighting is subtle and perfect!
