Otherworld Miniatures JGDT4b – Carnivorous Ape II

Otherworld Miniatures JGDT4b – Carnivorous Ape II
 
 
 
Excellent model by Otherworld Miniatures sculpted by Jo Brumby.
 
Andrew Taylor's advice on colours used was invaluable. So I've posted them here for future reference & to anyone, who might find it useful. 

  1. Black primer for a change.
  2. For the fur a mix of Vallejo Luftwaffe uniform and black, then added a little more white to highlight.
  3. The skin is Vallejo German Camo Black, with sky blue added to highlight it up.
  4. The tongue is Vallejo Game colour tan, then dwarf flesh, then elf flesh.
 

 
 
 
This last photo was taken on my iPad rather than a camera.

Otherworld Miniatures ACC2b – Hunting Hounds (3)

Ohh, another post. This time round, its Otherworld Miniatures ACC2b – Hunting Hounds (3) which were great pleasure to paint. I decided to play around with a wet blending mention as well as the good old trusted dry brushing. I think they came out rather well.

 
 
 
I didn't take note on the colours I used on these rather wonderful canines. 

Games Workshop Mirkwood Rangers


Well its been a very long time, since my last post. Not because of lacking of painting, far from it, I have been painting quite a bit, but just not photographing my completed miniatures. Any way, I digress. This is my last painted miniatures, taken from Games Workshop "The Hobbit" range. Mirkwood Rangers. I feel that this should be renamed "Mirkwood Wood Elves" which would be more apt.
