March is nearly here and I'm scurrying to avoid a post-less February. To that end, I present my latest contributions to the Helping Hand Challenge: the lantern-bearer and linkboy.
This month should feature the dwarf from OW's Henchmen and Hirelings box set but I'm running a bit behind, I fear. The linkboy was "finished" last year but I was somewhat displeased with the result. With the lantern-bearer on the paint table, it seemed a good time to have a go at some OSL on both minis.

I'm pleased with how things turned out, although the linkboy's left sleeve should probably be a bit darker.
The attentions of Chris over at Duke of the Blood Keep have understandably been elsewhere this month. To see the dwarf in all his glory be sure to check out Ant Master's efforts at Deviant Designs Deeds.
Some cracking, top job stuff once again, Mr. Finch.
ReplyDeleteNice work!
Thank you, Roy.
DeleteSuperb painting dude! Love the tattoo.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bob. The tattoo was a late addition. Glad you like it.
DeleteStunning painting and as I've a few fiery minis myself to paint I'll be picking up those "Vallejo" paints you mention. Great post Finch. The quality of your painting is inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThanks, BK. Not my first attempt using fluorescent paint but it is my first successful attempt. A little of the stuff goes a long way.
DeleteAmazing models, Finch. So full of character.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jordan. Mr. Mountain's sculpts are indeed packed with character. Hopefully I did them justice.
DeleteThe models may be amazing but it's the paintjob that brought them to life!
DeleteFantastic job on them the paintwork is just fabulous well done on thesemate!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Simon.
DeleteYou really are a clever chap Mr. Finch! Stunning work Sir.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a dollar for every time I've been called clever, I'd have... a dollar. Many thanks, Michael. Truly high praise coming from a painter of your stature.
DeleteThe OSL on the torch bearer looks great now, Finch. Thanks very much for increasing my next paint order by exactly two bottles.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, VK. Only too happy to spend other people's money. ;)
DeleteGreat work Finch, well done on catching up. Both models look great, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chris. Not entirely caught up but at least I'm within striking distance of where I'm supposed to be.
DeleteI totally did not expect a purple leather coat and pink/yellow hat and they are an awesome combination. Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing the technique you used for the OSL too. I am still trying to get an effective OSL effect on my minis.
ReplyDeleteThanks, 4EM. Tried to keep the lantern-bearer grubby looking despite his purple & yellow armor. The hat colors are meant to echo those of the recently completed OW squire.
DeleteLooks really great!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joel.
