Painting

Nothing tricky here. These were fun and quick. I primed in Dupli-color gray and after painting glazed their coats with inks to give them a rich, reddish sheen. The undersides are bright, warm white and I did their eyes basic black with a white glint for that sinister beady-eye look. You can see the legs that aren't touching the ground have some structural support sculpted to suggest grass, but I think it works fine painted gray in my case and can represent dust being thrown up from the dungeon floor.

In case you missed the koboldsor want to have a another look.

As always, the collection can be viewed in its entirety at flickr.

And stay tuned for more on giant weasels coming right up!

  1. Giant weasels and Kobolds! Fantastic. Surprised you didn't go with the Otherworld ones, but the SL sculpts have a more 'classic' vibe to 'em (hey, it's Bob olley!).

    1. Thanks, glad you like them! I explain my choice here: http://belchedfromthedepths.blogspot.com/2012/11/giant-weasel-miniatures-roundup.html... I wrote this at the same time as the weasels post but had to polish up the formatting. :) The Otherworld ones are nice but are they 4x as nice?
