Wild night? But what about painting the mini(s)?

MacGothmog · **Posted:** Mon Nov 12, 2012 4:15 pm

Working on it Dorth, working on it.

I also prepared another Spartan I had. Just some minor conversion work adding the arrows to the shield, spilling and wasting a ton of super glue accelerant in the process.

Awesome. I'm interested to see how you finish the bronze.

And here's an update. Been working of the flesh, more than anything else.
The colours are a bit off, as the pictures were just shot under artificial light.

More updates tomorrow!

Looking good Mac. So how many tons of superglue and accelerant have you been buying?

MacGothmog · **Posted:** Tue Nov 13, 2012 5:52 pm

Well, it was a big tube and I spilled about half of it. :/

Anyway, a bit more of work done.

Awesome as ever Mac . Unbelievably good skin tones.

Very, very nice looking 'Spartan' miniature!:D

Looks great, Mac. It just seems unnatural, though, for someone that manly to be so hairless!

garmenhord · **Posted:** Thu Nov 15, 2012 3:45 pm

He isn't going to paint on the breast hair, i think he has some flock around for that somewhere :-D

Hmm... didn't they shave before going to war or something?

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:43 am

I don't know about the shaving part but when a Persian envoy rode up to Thermopylae and found the Spartans washing their hair in a stream instead of readying themselves for battle, he asked someone whether they were out of their minds. The response was something along the lines of 'The boys like to look their best before getting into a fight'.

Well, time to move on. Calling this one done too. Here are the final piccies:

Conan is coming soon!

Anyways, onto this guy. I think you did a really good job with him. I especially like the black helmet tuft (the correct word is escaping me at the moment...), as well as his black hair. Excelent job highlighting it, and yet keeping it black. The only thing I don't like are the highest highlights on the cloak, they're too pink. I'm talking about the two small folds on his back that are almost parallel with the ground. But other than that, wow. Great skin, great weathered shield, and awesome basing, it works perfectly. :yay:

I look forward to what you do with conan, and the snake!

Thanks mate!

Ok, I started Conan. Just basecoats for now.

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Wed Nov 21, 2012 2:53 pm

those skin tones are brilliant :yay:

MacGothmog · **Posted:** Thu Nov 22, 2012 6:00 pm

And here's an update. Been working a bit on the skin and the snake.
Still a long way to go.

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Thu Nov 22, 2012 6:15 pm

astoundingly good flesh tones, jealous :shock:

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Thu Nov 22, 2012 9:47 pm

And that's how The Governator rid California of all those pesky snakes.

Looking good Mac. My only gripe is that in the film the snake was a lot bigger.
