Again this week, I've been painting something a bit different. A while ago, I was bought a model dragon (thanks Ruth!). He's a metal Reaper model, and he's wearing a chef's hat and apron, and is holding up a pizza. I'm not quite sure why, but he's a nice and jolly sculpt.
I've never painted a model like this before, and doing so was an interesting challenge. As fits a cartoony sculpt, he's not covered in detail, which meant that I needed to do a lot of shading up and down. I didn't want to paint him red, as his pizza would be red and orange, so I went for shades of purple, a bit like Spyro the Dragon from the old computer game. I wasn't quite sure how to do his eyes, since they've got sculpted pupils, but I'm quite pleased with the result.
I also painted a couple more old metal Trollblood models. They were quite easy to do and enjoyable, and I think they've come out quite nicely. A small force of these guys would look cool. I've no intention to use them for anything, but then I rarely use miniatures for anything!
