A true work of art. I love the base. If I may, where did you get it?

I sculpted it myself...

Excellent! And, yes, I got the German pun!

I liked the TV show myself.

Excellent work and well worth a 10 on Cmon.

It's from Black Scorpion CH, thats why it's in the Black Scorpion Gallery.

I know it was one of Adams figs Wirtsy.

I was talking about the base he sculpted for it.

the mini itself is fantastic, not too sure about the basing though, the cobbles don't quite work for me I'm afraid.

The face is so good - really makes the whole piece

This is so utterly astounding. Nearly flawless.

That said, feathers are hard.

And I don't get the joke.

Thank you!

Okay, I´ll explain the pun:
I wrote "MuskeTIER" instead of "Musketeer". Both words are pronounced the same way. But "Tier" means "animal" in german...
Cheers,
Oli

Awwwwww... Such a cute doggy!

Like in the cartoon series.

Hah! I like the pun, too. I may not speak German, but it seems like a natural, unforced pun.

If he's a musketier/teer where's his musket?

Sweet paintjob, with great colors

I really dig the base, and I even enjoyed the pun

That's lovely Oli

I wondered whether doing the rest would obsure the silkyness of the silky buts but it works great

Now how the heck is anyone going to beat that?

What method did you use to paint the sword?

I´m not sure if I understand your question. Do you mean if it´s painted in TM oder NMM? It´s NMM.
Or do you want the "recipe" for the coulours I used?
Cheers,
Oli

Mr Teufel · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2007, 02:38:46 AM »

NMM is what I was getting at.

Bloody awesome.

Just... wow.

Redfink · « **Reply #20 on:** June 21, 2007, 07:45:22 AM »

Thanks.

Painting the blade in NMM took quite a while and was really difficult, because the blade is comprised of 8 different flats which had to be highlighted and shaded seperately. But it was worth the work I think...

Cheers,
Oli
