Sculpted by John Pickford, I painted this for the
Frother's game at
Salute 2010. Richard Scott of
Otherworld Miniatures had offered one to be used as a prize in the Frotherheim game that year and, like a fool, I volunteered to paint it with2 weeks to go.......Bruenor Odinson painted the display figure for Otherworld at the same time......it was a fun time having no sleep and posting work in progress pics on Frothers. Richard ended up giving me this copy and donated another as the prize in the game.
The parcel arrived.......................
How much was the postage????
No.5......
Ahhh, the contents......including 3 head variants..
and a small version of the Otherworld Minis
idol
now the drilling and pinning commenced....
that was the first stage completed............
brilliant patchwork jacket and trousers....
with my 'tidy' work space in the background..
and the flesh starts bringing it all together....
although this is what happens when you miss a mold line due to overtired eyes.......
getting the accessories added to his belt....
and another mini idol discovered on the base....
his nifty waistcoat colour scheme c/o your friendly internet reptile search....
just a couple of close ups of the head......
and the eyes still haunt me now........
as finished as it is going to be............
and a quick one of me the morning before Salute.. 2 hours before the train was due, still willing the mattcoate to dry....
