This one's a very slight conversion of the High Elf queen model from the Maidenguard box (or UK mail order to be exact :) ). I added a blade to the top of her purty staff to turn it into a Singing Spear, and made her a wraithbone chestplate. The big wraithbone bits on the base took 3 different colours before I finally settled on the creamy marble (poo brown - base for gold colour - pink - looked awful - greyed pink - looked less awful). They were made from 6-8 layers of thin card laminated together with pva, and coated with more pva a couple of times before painting. Gems are greenstuff 'beads', sliced in half once dry. Her hair was originally blonde but it looked really boring, so I changed it to a reddish colour which beefed up the colour scheme considerably. I'm quite fond of the gold on this one, the colour is quite interesting - just my regular gold mix but with a fair whack of Stormy Blue (I love that colour) added to the base. Makes it look more antique-y.
