More of the West Wind!

Hello,

Here is another West Wind Dwarf with Spear. This was done to practise flesh and hair. I would thoroughly recommend West Wind if you want to practise flesh, fabric, wood or hair. The areas listed on the models are very easy to paint and figure out where the light source etc would be. The models aren't metal but tin. Very bendy if you are not careful. Here he is:

The digital picture kind of bleaches the colour but there is a lot of subtle shading on the flesh. Stay tuned for the Pathfinders tomorrow. Bye for now.

Time for a wee break!

Hello again,

I am sorry for the delay with the pictures of the final Krootox and you will have to wait a while longer as I am leaving today and will not be back till Saturday afternoon. I will try and get them posted then. In the meantime here is a quick wee interval post of something different so that you don't all get bored :). Here we have a Dwarf Swordsman from West Wind miniatures. I picked him up at the Falkirk Cannonade Games Convention. This was a few months back when I was just starting out painting and trying out different techniques. I bought this one to practise fabric shadowing and highlights. I even managed to try some NMM (Non-metallic-metal) on the sword and helmet, boy was that an up hill struggle. I do want to try NMM again because practise makes perfect! :) Now onto the pictures:

I do have another West Wind Mini from the same faction as this guy but a different unit. I will only post that when I am in the same situation as just now, or when the Tau are completely finished. Bye for now.
