WIP St. Paddy's Day by Blacksmith Miniatures

[Larsen E. Whipsnade]

1/32 scale (stands approx 50mm from his feet to top of his tricorn) resin figure. Nicely sculpted and well cast with little clean up required. Left ear was broken off upon receipt (it's so small I almost overlooked it) but it glued on cleanly with no problem. Another in Blacksmith's line of humorous fantasy figures.

You found another wonderful little character, it will be fun watching you work on this one.
The way the beer mug is painted on the box art is amazing.

Great choice, this is going to be good.

A little progress. Probably need to weather his tricorn a bit more and his tongue needs to be in sharper contrast to his complexion (How does one highlight a tongue? The mind boggles!).

 

[MalcC]

You've captured his character superbly, the flesh tones are perfect.
In answer to your question " How do you highlight a Tongue" ..... very carefully I'd say.

Great little leprechaun, his face is looking good, you can see the mischief and malice in those eyes already, unless that's just the beers!

Cheers Simon

Thanks, Malc. I'll be careful. I promise. Your Vikings did well last weekend... can't say the same for the Pack.

A Vikings win was a bit of a surprise. Chiefs this week. No chance. Hope the Packers have a better game for you.

As a Packer fan you know I can't root for the Vikes (those who do are beaten severely about the neck and ears) but I can hope Viking fans will be happy Sunday night.

That goes without saying.
For a great Sunday, I'd need Arsenal to beat Man City and Lando Norris to win the Grand Prix. Unfortunately I can't see that happening,
Also England to win in the Rugby, that should be ok.
but one thing is for sure, I'll be enjoying my time at the bench.

Lovely start, another figure that just oozes charm and character.
