[QUOTE="Kris, post: 3197349, member: 3745"] Thanks again for the comments :) Anyway, I figured that these guys needed some kind of spellcaster to back them up... so here's a small goblin mounted on a 1p coin (a figure that I had to repair and modify just a little bit): [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/mini05.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/mini06.jpg[/IMG] And for anyone who's interested - this is the stuff I have been dipping my miniatures into: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/tin.jpg[/IMG] I will admit that it's been enjoyable just painting up a bunch of mini's as quick as possible and not really fussing over all the details and layering etc., and I would say that I could have painted, dipped and based all of the above miniatures in one day if I had put my mind to it (instead of just doing one here and one there like I have been). That is in no way a boast on my part... just an idea of how many miniatures I reckon could be done in a day with this technique. That in itself is a nice change (As I'm usually a painfully slow painter) ...and although I would have liked to spend more time making the bases look a little better (rather than just sprinkling a bit of static grass on them) - it would have kinda been counterproductive, as the aim was to try and get a tabletop-quality miniature done in as short a time as possible. Anyway... here's a quick look at the whole bunch (sorry not a very good photo): [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/group2.jpg[/IMG] Maybe if I get some spare time in the next few days I'll attempt to dip a metal miniature that I actually like (rather than old plastic figures I'm not all that fond of)... and maybe even get a lighter woodstain to try out on paler colours & skin tones. And if it's of interest I will continue to post pictures of my little dipping experiments :) [/QUOTE]
