The Headhunter (Rackham Doghandler)

[Crackpot]

Hy folx,

finally I finished this old WIP. It stood about one and a half year only partly painted in my WIP shelf and waited for me to finish it. And waited and waited and waited and waited...

But some weeks ago a friend of mine found this WIP and begged me to finish it, cause he loved the model. So I started to paint it again and I have to admit it was quite fun. Especially the base was really interesting.

I thought he looked like a medieval headhunter with his track hound so I called the mini \"headhunter\". Hope you like it!

a perfect mini for a mortheim witchhunter! great blendings on the dog and good choice of colors. The drool is great, I used it for my bulldog, too, but yours look better:

The dog is definitely my favorite part of the piece. The whole thing is impressive though.

So smooth... wow.

That dog is seriously menacing. Lovely piece.

Thanks for your response!
The \"drool\" is quite simple. I just took a hot glue and pulled a long thin fiber from it. Then I waited for the fiber to get cold and cut a small piece of it and glued it to the dogs mouth. (This was a bit tricky but with the right superglue it should work. After that I put some dops of superglue to the end of the \"drool fiber\", to get a round ending (because the cut looks to even and unnatural). Thats it...
