Tribute 'Finale'

[kagemusha]

After a considerable delay...life and it's little jokes again!...here are the final pics of a collaboration piece with Del...in memory of a good friend...and sadly missed member 'Mr Tubby Nuts' aka Mark Pearson.
First however...for those that haven't seen it...my contribution to this tribute...the base.....

Now enter my good friend Del...a guy Mark respected and liked...who has painted the Dwarves just as Mark would have loved...a touch of humour...but believable...thanks mate.
First some detail shots of the Dwarves...



continues in next post.......

In these next pics...I have used my PC monitor to lay in a suitable background...hope you like the idea.....



I really like to think Mark would have enjoyed this...and hope you all get a good feeling out of it too.

That is outstanding. The detail, painting is superb. What scale is this? Please say 120mm, otherwise I'll sell my brushes, and take up knitting....
The base is also beautiful, fantastic mix of textures, colours and foliage.
A fitting tribute for sure.

Too kind Henk. The models are catalogued at120mm but measure about 100mm. So no need to take up knitting but if you do I'm in the market for a fairisle waistcoat.

Wonderful paintwork and very nice ground work

Make no mistake the groundwork is the outstanding rythm section of this piece without it it's just two ok figures.

I love both the groundwork AND the dwarves. Both art. Tubbynuts would dig it a lot. Nice tribute gents.
