Hi All!
Today I have another set of figures from the talented folks over at Westfalia Miniatures.
Here is a foraging giant ('Ned') and his faerie friend ('Norri'). I imagine Norri being very annoyed with Ned for messing with the poor cow, and so is giving him a bit of the cold shoulder.

I loved this model from the first time I saw it online and had to get one (Listed as the 'Fey Giant' sculpted by Boris Woloszyn). I'm glad I did as it seems to have gone OOP on the Westfalia website, but perhaps I'm just not looking in the right spot. It's a bit of complex kit and so had been languishing in the Pile of Possibilities for a few years. I uncovered it again this summer and resolved to get it done during this Challenge.
Most of this was airbrush work, with some of the details brought out with a brush. I'm quite happy with how his skin tone turned out, as I wanted something akin to the greyish trolls in the LotR movies. I had a bit of fun experimenting with spot-shading using contrasting colours. Anyway, I'm happy to have them done up and in the cabinet.

Curt, that is some absolutely gorgeous work. If anything is ever going to convince me to learn to use an airbrush, it is looking a pics like this. I just love the expression on Ned's face.
ReplyDeleteThank you Matthew. Frankly I still struggle with the nuances of airbrushing and so I find working on larger models like this easier to manage.
