Great work on a lovely mini!

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #3876 on:** January 04, 2013, 09:05:36 AM »

It is a really nice mini.

When I saw it online it looked a bit weird, but I would recommend buying this one guys

I don't like this finecast , it's too fine detail, almost so much detail the model is cluttered, not smooth.

Fidelis von Sigmaringen · « **Reply #3878 on:** January 04, 2013, 05:03:35 PM »

Agreed. But maybe it is also because of the way it is painted - too many details that are highlighted. A more "monochrome" appearance would be much better, I think.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #3879 on:** January 04, 2013, 05:05:08 PM »

true ,

it's a horrible model though,

sily shells on the nose of the horse etc?!

Marienburg - seaport town.

He does look crustaceous, that is true.

I can definitly see the highly detailed forgeworld models not being suited to your method of speed painting. As Fidelis said, I think if you had gone for one color on the armour it would look a lot less cluttered and busy. Can't fault the sculpt though, it's a great model!

Cheers

Peyton

agreed good feedback ,

me ticked the box ,

onto the next model!

I've always found that forgeworld models are much more sharply detailed and harder to paint (I suck at painting anyway) I would have gone for a simpler paint job but I like basically everything but his armor.

Darknight · « **Reply #3885 on:** January 04, 2013, 11:29:57 PM »

I actually really like his armor - it looks like some ancient bronze fountain, a very cool look.

That's how I feel about a lot of recent GW models, like the Demigryphs and the Wizard Wagon. All that busy detail sucks any joy out of the painting experience. If I was starting them both again it would be one colour, drybrush, wash and done. I'm putting hours of work into what I'm sure will be a very average looking Hurricanum atm

Interesting aquatic feeling result on that mini though, high marks for that.

Lietpold is far too cluttered with detail, even if I had done all the armour in one solid silver colour with one wash, it would have looked cluttered ,

back to 1987 for me next !

Fidelis von Sigmaringen · « **Reply #3888 on:** January 05, 2013, 12:09:17 PM »

I think black might work. And, after all, he is called Lietpold the Black.

Very nice! Is she a recent purchase? eBay was very keen to push her at me a few weeks ago. It was never on the cards - my collecting ambitions are much more modest.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #3891 on:** January 05, 2013, 07:46:06 PM »

I saw a rare chance on e bay 3 weeks back ish,

some1 listed her and had painted just base coats, but quite thinly, so i saw the chance for a rescue paint job and finished the job

usually if it's half painted , then u get the model cheaper also

somegeezer · « **Reply #3892 on:** January 05, 2013, 09:20:22 PM »

Timing's about right. IIRC she was around £40 - so about £35 more than I'd pay for a mini on eBay

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #3894 on:** January 07, 2013, 09:56:06 PM »

It's a harsh one, if you look at the 1986 , 1987, 1988 townsfolk and travelling players collections it's another 100 models

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #3895 on:** January 07, 2013, 10:14:41 PM »
