Reply To: What Are You Painting Now?

Hello all,

It has been too long since I posted any of my hobby on the site. Truth be told I have spent the last few months decorating the hobby room so things have been a little upside down.

So on to some pics of what I have been up to.

Starting with my Shrew – zerker and Kingfisher for Burrows and Badgers.

A few WIP pics of the Kingfisher there and I still have the base to do for the Shrew.

These models were so enjoyable to paint partly because they were a bit out of the norm for me, a few colors I never use in there. I can honestly say they are the fist Shrew and Kingfisher models I have ever painted.

The Shrew I just wanted to look Barbaric, hence all the blood and evil red eye.

The Kingfisher, I spent a bit more time on with a few pics of kingfishers in front of me. The colors on these birds are amazing and I struggled to get the real vibrant electric blue of the outside of the wings (see below)

I used a bit of Artistic licence on the eyes of each model trying to make them more Human like than animal, Maybe suggesting more intelligence in my opinion.

Currently on the painting table is “The Last Viking” one of the Giants in Miniature series of minis.

I plan on using this guy as a Hero for my Barbarians in Warlord of Erehwon.

WIP and still stuck to my painting aid (brown earth paint tub) at the moment.

Hopefully I should finish this chap before the weekend, I look forward to sharing the pics of the finished job.
