I may have a few pots I'll look in the morning and check out some of the obscure hobby shops here. Maybe I'll get lucky!

thanks william! ive put skraaal to the task, but its nice with a backup

Sigh why must you paint so well , I love the rider btw but I do have a question; why two shields?

cheers empchild! about the shields, well, why not? he has just armored the toad a little.

 

[Tee999]

I was going to say that two shields are better than one.

...about the shields, well, why not? he has just armored the toad a little.

That is true, but 3 is better than 2, and it would help to mimic the Nurgle symbol. Or I could just be telling you that in the hopes of getting more freehand...

The sacred number of Nurgle is 7, maybe 7 shields?

 

[SkelettetS]

well chad i figured i want to finish this toad this century, so two shields has to be enough this time ;P

first plan was to add one shield on the other side, but it was too much cutcuthackhacksawsaw conversion work to make it fit.

I suppose I see your point. I'm am sure it will be great either way! But if you did cover it in feehand shields I wouldn't argue.

hey stefan. i recognise you wanna finish this mini this year(soon:O). but i have an idea for something with the base. would love to help you out with it if you think it seems like overworking things text me!

 

[meaty_nosebleeds]

that banner looks amazing man, i have all the colours except scaly green and they are free to you if you want them.

 

[SkelettetS]

ok image makes it look like poop but you might get the idea. slowly getting there. not really sure when to attach the body to the toad though, as a big part of the stomach is sculpted on the toad. this will be interesting...

got me a bunch of P3 colors yesterday, very happy with those! also go some andrea paints i won in an online competition, but they are a little earthly for my taste, that said i only tested two pots so far.

ischa, figured an easy base for this one. ok not "2 second sand, flock drybrush easy" but nothing that advanced. but if you got an awesome idea im all yours! not going to be able to finish this project this year, but early jan at least.

m_nosebleeds, really!?!

 

[SkelettetS]

come clooooooserrrrr.....

edit: umm... think i have to fix the spike at the shoulderpad...looks bent

 

[Tee999]

that's really great work. I agree it does look like one of the spikes is bent at the top.

[Hfamily111]

I love the contrast with the face. The conversion is soft but perfectly done. I can't to see what comes next!!!!

 

[coldone]

Looks amazing wanna touch it but im afraid i'll loose my hand.

Your skin tones are amazing. Is this for any sort of competition?

 

[SkelettetS]

thanks! starting to feel really happy with how the guy turns out, a real pleasure to paint this mini, will buy another copy or two later

coldone, ill guess its going to go to at least one gamesday next year, not decided which yet

 

[meaty_nosebleeds]

m_nosebleeds, really!?!

yep, i have been looking to slowlyreplace my gw collection with other brands of paint, and i know that they will be in good hands with you

 

[SkelettetS]

well been enjoying myself with some fever, stomach sickness and a sour throat this weekend, luckily it passed by as fast as it hit me. strange things. anyway, got some paintnig done last evening, more or less finished everything except the axe and guts. reattached the banner. tmm looks crappy in this images but its all the photos honestly

also started to prep the next 52mm mini, milliput, lots of good old sanding in front of me. its a christmas gift to my father, shouldnt take that much time to paint. hopefully. also decided to ditch the guitarr to fasten it up a bit. not what i call a fun mini to paint but he really deserves it so i guess i have to sacrifise myself a bit

 

[Solun Decius]

Whoa! That's an amizingly interesting miniature, and the work you've done on it already is spectacular. Very vivid skin color (even if it's grey) and the eye is really alive.
EDIT: Haha, I was looking at a completely different page of your log when I made that comment - on that Elephant warrior you were doing a couple of years ago.

The Nurgle Lord/Plaguebearer conversion is indeed very cool too. The banner and the metal armor parts are superb.

Since I've been paging through this, might as well add that this whole log is really good. Lots of diverse and exceptionally well done miniatures. Bunch of good ideas in there.

 

[KruleBear]

Nothing like an eye in your belly to keep track of things lol. Well done so far.

 

[Cileon]

the rider looks really awesome and the shields and banners, congrats on that, really beautiful Can I ask how you did the legs of the rider? Did you sculpt the belly and used the legs of the rider? It's well done and I'm interested

I could see leaving the guitar off the gift, as he was really more of a singer anyway. But I understand if you still go for it. If you do good luck, I know your father will love it.
