Here is an overview.
Here is a closeup. The lantern is my first attempt at scratchbuilding
It's a little rough but so is the whole sculpt. I rate it a 'meh' for a first effort.
The hand holding the lantern is from a different kit.
Lantern boy all alone. Maybe this picture is a little too dark.
Sorry
Here we see Barry the Bagman. My favorite mini of the group
I like him even more than the wizard with the owl-like thing background of his picture.
Here you can see my first attempt at object source lighting on the torch boy.
His face was so miscast I figured the best thing to do would be to have it in shadow
so I could paint the part that was featureless lead blob pure black. If this cast hadn't been such a mess I never would have attempted the OSL.
Here is the shield. I tried to get a nice blend going
The druid in the middle of the back row was so misaligned I had to sculpt half of the back of his head. So here is a look at the resculpted head.
I love the old style miniatures.
ReplyDeleteI developed a real love/hate relationship with them over the past month. The casting errors and lack of detail can be frustrating, but they have a ton of character and they look more desperate than heroic a lot of the time, which is great.
DeleteNice work, both on the outcome and on preserving your uncle's legacy. David Sutherland's adventurer's also have that desperate look.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I agree about Sutherland.
