I really loved these in the contest - fantastic work!

Ooo, that's really starting to come together. I'm definitely looking forward to your next update.

Awesome! I really like the softened transition between the red and the yellow. The join with the blue is a bit abrupt but I imagine it would look even more amazing if you'd been able to do the black patches to break it up. They look really great all together.

Awesome looking flesh construct! The skin tone looks great and I like the weathering on the metal behind him.

That looks awesome.

As embarrassing as it is, Vaiuri, I didn't paint a dappled effect... I think that's just the dodgy prep work I did. It's nice to know that it looks somehow intentional in the photos. Thanks Viruk. The mounted Aragorn had a better face than the standing one - half his face had melted away. Never again will I paint Finecast. It's a shame as I really like Lord of the Rings and wanted to put more of an effort into them than using them as a good testing ground for NMM. At least my NMM is now much better than it used to be.

More painting has happened! Still no Malifaux, but now that I've finally (almost) finished painting the LoTR gifts I was given several years ago I can hopefully go back to feeling guilty for not painting my dwindling supply of Malifaux minis. Aragorn still needs basing and I'm aware his face looks awful. The effort required to save the sculpt didn't really appeal.

That's a really beautiful purple colour on the doll. They look fantastic together.

Awesome! That's an amazing idea. They look fantastic.

Not yet Paradoxstorm! I had my painting stuff with me at uni (but not my basing supplies) but since graduating they live with my boyfriend. One day I'll be able to afford to move out and live surrounded by my paints and minis... Until then I sadly have very little time to steal other people's minis and paint them.

Beautiful work once again Viruk. Your Teddies are amazing - you've really brought out all their texture and character.

The downside of getting friends into painting is now I no longer have an excuse to steal their stuff and paint it. And now that my boyfriend no longer plays Malifaux it gets a lot harder to justify buying more minis (I seem to have a ban on everything apart from naked girls, which he happily buys me). Good luck with all those bases Monkeyboy! Hopefully the base inserts will be back in stock somewhere soon and you can be happy again.

Thanks! I'm still really pleased with the doppelganger. It's such an awesome mini to paint. I'm still plugging through my various LoTR minis but then I'll hopefully be able to go back and finally finish Yan Lo's crew. I'm running out of Malifaux minis to paint!

RAWR! I'm terrified of painting it... But at least even cleaning something this size is better than the Finecast sculpts I had.

I agree with Renen, that subtle OSL is really lovely.
