Josef Bugman, paintathon entry.

[Calavera]

Hey all.. I just finished this very, very cool limited edition mini from GW.
Here he is: http://www.coolminiornot.com/74237

Hope you like him, \'cause I really love how he came out. I maybe could\'ve done a bit better, but I was on a deadline for a local competition.. got a 2nd place for him in the larger mini category(yeah, a dwarf in large mini.. some people thought that was funny ) Pretty pleased about the pics and especially the freehand wood grain.. considering it was done at 3am the night before

I\'d very much appreciate comments or criticism

BTW the pics are quite grainy.. had to lower the quality so much so it would reach 100kbs Could\'ve maybe just had the face and barrels as an insert but I was too lazy.

yay!

Very nice! I love that mini, and periodically browse on E-bay to see if I can ever find it (i never can!!).

I really like the red nose you have given him, I can almost hear the drunken dwarves whooping and hollering!lol

 

[DanseMacabre]

Nice work indeed!
Things i like a lot : the red nose, the wood barrels, the bronze/copper metallics and the horns on the elm.
Thinks i don\'t like so much: the beard, the scalemail.
The other stuff is solid work.

Nicely done Calavera hey Vikey you want a bugman I\'ll get you one from GWHQ and you won\'t need to pay E-bay prices either I\'ll get it for you and just pay me the pack price plus postage. PM me if you are interested, I have one here at home that hasn\'t been touched yet.

 

[supervike]

interested?

definately...I will PM you!

nice job

I like what you have done with this mini. However, I think you could stand to thin out your metallics a good bit. The barrels look quite nice, as does the nose. I don\'t really see anything wrong with the beard, though I do think of Bugman as being a graybeard.

And now to be a fuddy duddy: I have to say that I like the original sculpt of Bugman better. GW has taken a turn, in my opinion, towards more \"realistic\" sculpts, and they\'ve lost a lot of character in the process. The dwarf line seems to have taken the hardest hit. The older dwarfs, especially the thunderers, are just superior. Bugman is also a good example. This is a fine sculpt, but I am partial to the original.

Incedentally, is the model standard GW scale?

Yes it is and the Dwarf can be removed from the barrels and used in Warhammer, I think that rules for him were published in an issue of White Dwarf.
