Thanks mate. I was limited with what I could do with the base on this one as the client only wanted sand and static flock (mainly cause more dramatic bases cost extra ;P)
I can do you a gem tutorial if you like. PM if you are interested. They really are not that difficult to do.
I really like this mini, and I can't understand why it's only got a 6.4. The painting is clean, the freehand work is nice, and the base, while not stupendous is not an eyesore. I'm in awe of your ability to paint gems, as it's something I've never been adept at. Good work!
