I've considered doing this figure from time to time, and I think you have done a stunning job of it. The base and groundwork are very unique.

Welcome aboard Mark and that is an excellent looking figure you have there. Always liked this figure but have never bought it. Maybe I need to rethink my "wish list"?! Can you tell us a little more about the groundwork?
Great Work,
Jim Patrick
By the way, if you down size the pics to about 600 pixels in width we can see the whole figure without scrolling left and right

Thanks to everybody for the nice comments on my figure!
It's a pleasure for me to participate on the planet. I don't mind any criticism either. As I hardly get in touch with any painters outside Germany this feedback is the only way for me to improve.
The figure is almost exclusively painted in enamels (Humbrol/ Revell) over an acrylic undercoat. The yellow is mixed from Revell yellow and Humbrol hardened leather with a touch of natural wood. Burnt Umber oil paint and more leather was added for the shadows and more yellow for the highlights.
Actually the groundwork was inspired by the original form of the wooden base (from Oakwood Studios). The ladder was incorporated to depict some different levels in the ground.
The basic form was made from magic sculpt, covered with moltofill-plaster. Some small roots and kitchen spices were pressed into it and later fixed with white glue. The ladder is made of some toothpicks and the horn is a sausage of duro rolled into shape and cut down when dry. Later everything was painted with various shades of brown and highlighted and shaded as usual.
The mushrooms are an idea "stolen" from Marjin van Gils excellent diorama.
Regards
Mark
