Beware the Old Wood Childe.
Greetings CMON. Here is my first attempt at a display quality miniature. While I still have many things to improve upon I believe that I have really stepped up the quality of my painting from most of my other miniatures. The miniature is one of Tre Manor's Boneback Goblins from his fantastic line of miniatures from Red Box Games (http://www.red-box-games.com). As you can see from the picture this miniature is very tiny, not much larger than a US penny, yet it was a joy to paint and although very detailed, painting went smoother than many larger miniatures I have painted, so thank you Tre for producing such fine sculpts!! This was my first attempt at a display base. The stumpy tree is a twig from my campsite and the plants are various mosses preserved with glycerin and a little static grass added to the clearing the goblin is standing in. This was my first attempt at weathering metallics and oxidization. The blade is rusty and has verdigris on it, which I think I did a decent job on. This was also my first attempt at blood on a weapon and this was achieved with Tamiya clear red paint and black inks and a coat of gloss varnish. I have rambled enough, I hope you enjoy my miniature very much and please feel free to leave comments. Thanks!
