Purifiers
The Purifiers weren't that difficult to paint up overall, but were still a little on the smallish size. What this means for me is that it requires a little more precision, and usually ends up with a few muttered curses when I have issues maneuvering my brush to hit the hard to reach areas.
The other piece I painted up is the Purifier Officer, Isabeau:
Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I've got a thread on the SPM forums for my finished pieces to share with my fellow RK fans, and one of them mentioned that her eyes were not up to my usual level. I wanted to brush this off, but he was right. I went back and started the face over again fresh.
The end result here is much more passable. I'm not completely satisfied with it, and I don't know if I need to go back again or if it's just my difficulties with having the sculpt fully assembled. If I do go for the repaint I may just pick up the metal version and avoid the difficulties of the sword. The reason why is that the eyes in that pic are starting to go 3D because all the layers are starting to create a bulge.
I've already started work on my next piece, and it's really coming along. The way it's turning out is make me consider going back and doing more work on all my Shattered Swords so far. Here's a small teaser that I shows a little bit of the work I had started on, though not the part that's making me want to go back and add more (that comes later):
Do you glue the mini to the cork? sorry I'm new to painting mini's and Relic knights is my first miniature game.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I pinned a piece of paper clip to the mini which then sticks into the cork. The piece I used wasn't long enough though, and the next time I do something like that I'll use a much longer piece.
