WIP Winnie by Blacksmith Miniatures

[Larsen E. Whipsnade]

Greetings to all after a long layoff necessitated by some health issues. I'd like you to meet Winnie, a 54mm whimsical witch by Blacksmith Miniatures. Crafted with Blacksmith's usual attention to quality and detail. Beautifully sculpted and well cast with lots of very small parts for me to lose (careful fumblefingers!).

Hi hope you are all recovered, I'm pretty sure I lived next door to this one with my parents back in the 70's!

Looks like a fun paint.

Cheers Simon

Another great choice, really looking forward to seeing you bring it to life.
On a non model subject. The Vikes are driving me nuts.

Thanks, guys. It's good to be back at the Planet.

Malc: I can understand your feelings about the Vikes. Sam Darnold was a washout as a 1st round pick. He hasn't changed. Our qb would be faring a lot better if he stopped throwing so many darned interceptions. All that aside I think the Lions are the obvious class of our division but if the season were to end today both the Vikes and the Pack would be in the playoffs.

Bob, Winnie has some very small parts. Brushes you will need (the big one is for sweeping the floor looking for the piece you dropped).

Oh no.
Hope you find it.

The Vikes won, what a surprise. I'm expecting a very average season. The Lions look the business.

Mine arrived at the weekend, had a quick look and closed the box tight. This box contains very, very tiny bits. Should be easy to paint Not

First pass at the witch's skin tone. I decided on a light grey green for her flesh.. I mixed Vallejo's basic flesh tone with a green wash to achieve the effect. Unfortunately the green is pretty close to the grey primer but I think (hope) when I add some color to the figure the green will be more apparent.

 

[Briggsy]

Looks nice but the colour is washed out by the white primer around it, I think you are right the colour will improve as the clothing is painted.

Cheers Simon

 

[NigelR]

Nice start. I think Simon's right, it would be worth blocking in some base colours around the face so that you can really see how the skin will look.

 

[MalcC]

I agree with Nigel, this will help achieve the right skin tones.

I'm not going to comment on the Bears v Vikes game.

A win is a win, Malc.... unfortunately for the Pack..... looking forward to the next game between the Vikes and Pack.

O ye of little faith.....

 

[Larsen E. Whipsnade]

OK... I think purple will work with our green-skinned beauty - I may darken it a little bit..
