Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

[Mad_Jack]

This is the second Framework model I've bought and the second time I've been disappointed.

I bought the Frameworks halfling rogue out of curiosity, opened it up, and immediately decided it was going into the next round of the Box o' Goodwill on the Reaper forums - that thing was ridiculously tiny... It almost looked like a 15mm figure.

Finished my elephant man. This is the first mini I’ve ever painted whose flesh looks better in the photo than it does with the naked eye.

How did you do that Bone Handle? Looks Great!

It does look great and the best part is it was an accident. I put down a base color of Vallejo Chocolate Brown. Then mixed Vallejo Jappanese Uniform and Flat Earth at 50/50 and dry brushed it on. My intention was to add more highlights and maybe a wash, but I liked the way it looked so much I just left it as is.

I started a new 40k army this year. I’m slowly working my way through assembling it. It doesn’t matter how much work I get done the pile of shame continues to grow. They say admitting you have a problem is the first step…

That's how it goes. While the grey tide has gotten smaller, I'll never finish it all.

Ok, so this is the same Otter Wizard mini, reprinted using the 0.2 nozzle @ 0.06mm layer height on my X1-Carbon FDM printer. The mini does have some support scarring under the hands and arms and on the side of the cape. I have now painted it to have grey fur and that allowed the bracers and belt to be brown. I also based it with some grass and flowers (I know they are red too, but the person they are for loves red so, the more the merrier?). Anyway, my painting is by no mean professional, but good enough for the tabletop (and the mini look nice IRL).

That's otterly adorable! A painted miniature is always welcome at the table as they look better than an unpainted one. You did a pretty good job with the eyes especially.

Excellent pun Sir! Yes, most excellent

Oh my, eyes! Basically, I just fluked those haha, I was almost just going to leave them all black hehe.

I totally agree about painted minis on the table.

I have a couple of those clear Chessex dice containers, so I'm going to mount it (blutac essentially) onto the base and present it as a nice little gift.
