My latest mini: Thorin with the Oakenshield. Very happy. His face and hair turned out nice. It's hard to tell from these pictures but the shield has a nice wooden texture. I really like the blue colors too.

Looking forward to criticism, advice, and feedback. Next is Fili.

Great paint job, like the cloth in particular

This is my lastest mini I've finished -- a Captain of Dale. I entered it in the Winter competition. I think the cloak, shield and helmet turned out nice.

Happy New Year everyone, looking forward to getting criticism, advice, etc.

Thanks,

Frogmorton

Very neat painting. My only real criticism would be the snow on the base. That's GW's white static grass isn't it? I would suggest trying some Baking Soda mixed with PVA glue for a more realistic effect. Just my opinion mind...

Great work though :yay:

And Happy New Year to you also!

Yes, that is the GW snow. I will have to try out this new technique. Any advice?

Very clean painting on the captain. I really like the work you did on his cloak, especially the gold/yellow edging.

Gorgeous cloak, one of your best figures.

snow is very easy. Just get a small plastic cup, put about a 1:1 ratio of baking soda to pva glue. Mix it up, and apply it on the base and let it dry. That simple. nice mini btw

Never had a close look at this mini, but you've made him look absolutely fantastic, very nice indeed.

That is some very fine detailed work right there! I'd love to start a Dale army. The models look fantastic in my opinion.

That's a fabulous Dale captain! The cloak in particular works really well.
I quite like the winter base as it is as it looks more 'frosty' than snowy...

If you do try it, then this is pretty much spot on:

The captain of dale is great, well done. You've piqued my interest in that mini now and I've never shown any interest in it before. I might have to buy myself one.

Echo the words already spoken. What a fantastic job.

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2015 12:36 pm

That Captain of Dale is superb

This model is painted to look better than I believed was possible for the model to look, you've brought out the best qualities of the sculpt and improved them.

Here's my latest project - Fili from Escape from Goblin-Town. Very pleased - I like his face, and his base turned out nice. Not the most flashy color scheme (lots of brown) but I like it alot.

Advice and criticism is welcome as always.
