Alexander Holméns WIP thread

[Fists of mortis]

Very realistic well done! Something bugs me about the piece of cloth underneath his head. Where it meets the buttons just doesn\'t look real in the photos

The face looks nice. That column on the base is nice too.
The white socks don\'t look as well done as the rest of the mini. But overall good job.

And you paint from tob to bottom ? Never saw that before

 

[alexholmen]

Fists of Mortis: Thank you and I am sorry if it bugs you

Frenchkid: Thanks you, I can assure that the socks are painted as carefully but the wrincles in the front are folded in a kind of odd way.

Best wishes

Fantastic! I love your stuff, fast becoming one of my favorite painters. And you paint some of the best models

One thing, did you make or buy the base? And on your last model, how did you make the base, or where did you get the column from?

 

[alexholmen]

matty: Thank you!! It warmes my heart to hear such nice words! Regarding bases:

Magistrate: column from Fenryll and floor sculpted in milliput

Libby: built in plasticard

UPDATE

Hello everyone,

finally an update to my thread. I here present my entry into the German GD. It is a duel between the classic opponents: Orcs and Imperial Guard. This was quite an ambitious project for me and I sorry that I did not show it until now but I wanted the project to be a secret before the exhibition. My focus was on creating an interesting scene with a good layout aswell as creating interesting and varying wheaterings.

I hope you like it!

Here is the scene:

i like it all except for the skin color of the orc. the yellowish green color is somewhat off to me. other than that a great job.
