Incoming re-issue from Elite

[Calvin]

Hello,
this post to inform you that Elite Miniaturas is near to re-issue the Lhara bust. With a new casting set, the bust will be re-issued very soon, the first copies will be available at the Elite stand during the next Leon Rampante show in Madrid (20-21 May).

This is the original release, painted some time ago by Pepe Gallardo.

After seeing it in the flesh, I got stunned by the ability of Pepe about painting eyes. No matter what scale is it, every eye painted by Pepe will hypnotize you.

And this is from the new casting set, after a very little re-engineering.

Hope to do not be redundant, but to ensure you about the new casting I have prepared some more shots. What you see is what you get.

and here some more close-up

basement and hair

I think that more busts will be re-issued soon.

What do you meen by re-issued? They're still available from the red lancers. I have the Dark Elf of theirs.

What do you meen by re-issued?

The copy used as a master has been re-engineered, some small changes here and there, some fixes, a different side for the basement and finally a new casting set has been issued, using a new mould and a different resin.
As I said previously, I think some more busts from Elite will follow the above process.

transparente, como el agua...

the 'natural' (not so) clear casting

and the version I prefer, the psychedelic one, just the clear with a lightened base

you know, just for fun...
