I find the slightly larger fantasy/sci-fi/horror/pulp figures (28-32mm) much easier to paint, even if they have more detail on them. And you did nice on this one Paul!
28-32mm is a great scale to paint, especially if your new to painting this size. But the downside is it takes forever to paint an army. Still looks very cool though.
Note to self...must undercoat those LoTR elves I bought three years ago...
That's an especially good result. Very naturalistic and the work on the cloth is soft and pretty. Is it me or does he look a little like Jervis Johnson?
Nice painting on that high elf! I have a rather large lot of them stowed away somewhere, now i'm steadily painting a small uruk-hai army of maybe 750 points.
Looks good. A bit of highlighting on the tops of the folds and edges of the armor and cloak would really make it pop and look even better. The muddy cloak is a nice touch. The elves in the movies always looked too darn clean for just having hiked how many miles!? Come to think of it, everyone in the movie looked too clean outside of their greasy hair! :-)
Very well done Bods, the dry brushing and weathering works a treat, looking forwards to seeing more. I'm sure I bought two of those elvin figures when they first came out, Im surprise I havent come across them when Im down in my mine lead mine, they are very nice. Keep up the good work.
When I player LOTR with the young lad he had hundred of these gits or as I like to call them killing machines, very nice paintjob.
ReplyDeleteSuperb mini, great pose!
