Hi to all!

This is my last mini. It´s a Swordmaster of Hoeth. I decided to do this proyect some years ago because the elves are my favourite army. I waited a lot because I was not prepared to esculpt (and I still have to learn a lot). Initially I was going to do a miniature as Swordmaster of hoeth Marc Gibbons's drawing of the book of the high elves, but at the end I changed the pose because it was very static for a miniature. I also do some details inspired in the artwork of this army.

It´s a 54mm scale miniature. Please, note that I´m not a professional sculptor and it´s really difficult to me to do this kinds of proyects. Anyway I´m very happy with the final result. About the painting work I did it more faster than I had been want but I am satisfied also with the result.

Thanks to all the ST, to Alfonso and JMPN for his advices, to JMPN for his help in the last moments with the base, and of course to my great friends Luis and Rubén, you are the best!

This mini is dedicated to my friends, that always give me his supports, and mainly to my girlfriend Martita, you are my life...

Greetings to all the ST forum and specially to Chechu, a very good boy!

It won gold in the last UK GD in large scale category. Congrats to all the winners specially to Albert!

It will be a sculpt tutorial of all the process in the magazine Figure International of March.

I hope you like it, comments are welcome!

Thanks, Fernando.

Very nice paintjob, but lacks of expressivity specially the face... a very artificial expression and very still... If you learned to capture the moment's atmosphere and the character's attitude, you'll become an artist

Minos, your comments are so insane it borders on trolling! Flat metals? Clean but not expressive? Absolute nonsense. Had a good look at this at Golden Demon and it is a bloody masterpiece. Fantastic stuff Nano.

You are definitely a metallics master I think it's sort of an unwritten rule well it is to me, that you use metallics on large scale it gives it more depth and picks out alot of detail. Then on smaller scales you should use NMM but that is just my opinion.

Impresionante! Me encanta el modelado y los metales.Quizas algun freehand mas en la capa la mejoraría,pero igualmente está brutal.Felicidades!
