Fairies wear boots

[kenshin393]

I was checking the gnome traps this morning (as one should every day), when I found this little madam. Bloody furious she was too. Released her in the woods and ran like blazes.
(In acryllic from hassle free miniatures, 1:1 scale (about 40mm)).

Love the figure and the "groundwork". The wings though look just to be plastic, which is a pitty.

Cheers,

Gino

Cheers gino, I'll see what I can do to rectify that

My daughter did this one some time ago, when she was only about 8 - she insisted on putting a blue acrylic ink wash on the wings, which looked pretty good, IMO!

Lol! Cheers ralph, nice to have you back fella

Nice!! keep meaning to get this one for my Grand daughter as it reminds me of her so much

 

[kenshin393]

Thanks ron. Does she have wings too?

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Thanks ron. Does she have wings too?

No she has started to grow up and has turned into a princess

This still rates as one of my favourit pieces..

I've seen this done where the wings have been replaced with Dragonfly wings and feathers.
The Dragonfly wings were particularly effective, don't know how decay might impact. Possibly a careful airbrushing with gloss varnish might stabalise them.

Not seen this one before. I kind've like it and will get hold of one for myself I think

Turned out great. I was recently thinking of ordering this one, but couldn't find it anywhere

 

[Hawk_Uk]

Let me know who wants one and I can get hold of them for Euro as I know the Guys at Grey Matter Figures.
Or you can order them directly from Grey Matter Figures here: http://www.greymatterfigures.com/index.php?p=1&cat=39

Aye well, just the usual smart *****

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

Although I do remember seeing another 'Fairy', of similar scale. in which the modeller used actual 'Deceased', Dragon-Fly' wings! ..very effective.
