Miss Bea Haven My CCIV entry
If you came here from the CCV thread, :-P Gotcha! I never said which Chick Challenge. So I finally got around to posting last years entry. This is a Parker Brothers game piece from a game called Top Secret. She stands just over 30mm including the base. She was for the Chick Challenge and she was a real challenge. I've never painted anything that big before (or since) and let me say, big minis are not forgiving. They show every flaw. She was fun to do though. The faces are mirror images of each other. I used my wife's coloring for face #1, and her makeup kit to choose makeup colors. The other I sort of made up from various blonde pics on the internet made rather tan for contrast. On face #1 I did NMM with the lettering and on #2 I did SENMM. Second time with NMM and 1st time SENMM and have to say SENMM was easier. Another first is woodgrain. The pic doesn't show it too well, but the base is painted a rich dark cherrywood. It looks awesome in person. As always, I look forward to your comments, and any tips on smoothing the skin on large scale minis is greatly appreciated.
