Plus, I don't get much opportunity to paint yellow tbh, so wanted to see if I could come up with an acceptable palette combination. There certainly seems to be some rather different interpretations of what they look like :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-48924929945373985812020-03-09T03:47:13.764-07:002020-03-09T03:47:13.764-07:00Thanks Dave.

The Knight however, has some very visible moss etc sculpted onto it, so that'll all need picking out, shading etc. It even has a bird nest on one shoulder LOL!!Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-9915012457328152782020-03-09T03:32:23.572-07:002020-03-09T03:32:23.572-07:00I`m not sure those Yochlols are right but the mini...I`m not sure those Yochlols are right but the miniatures you have painted do look lovely.

The Barrow Guardians are now finished, and I'm hoping to paint a third (and last) one up before the month is over if I can.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-45221749184783084222020-03-08T08:39:30.138-07:002020-03-08T08:39:30.138-07:00The yochlols (lols) are an intersting monster (and...The yochlols (lols) are an intersting monster (and only slightly amusing), but I must have just left playing DnD when these rrived on the scene as (of course) I've never heard of these.<br />I do like the barrow guards !Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-61131978655051388922020-03-08T05:16:01.043-07:002020-03-08T05:16:01.043-07:00Thanks Undercoat.

I certainly wish I'd bought some more, as they're rather nice, but I'm not sure they're a horde race of demons tbh. Hopefully the Barrow Guardians will be finished soon... as will some of the Knight's sub-assemblies.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-35220364726161791272020-03-08T04:28:56.393-07:002020-03-08T04:28:56.393-07:00I like your painting on the yochlols a lot, they l...I like your painting on the yochlols a lot, they look great. However, having read most of the Drizzt books and these demons appear from time to time the sculpt is not how I imagined them to be honest. The Barrow Guardians look ace, really coming along well. Big models are such a pain to paint at times so just do what works for you with the sub assemblies and good luck!!Undercoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637716405557886404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-509704273482305662020-03-07T16:30:24.908-08:002020-03-07T16:30:24.908-08:00I have contemplated using some pliers to hold the ...I have contemplated using some pliers to hold the wrist whilst painting the shield, Myincubliss. But ultimately, having seen how well the "Vallejo" paint sticks to the rubbery plastic, I have decided to simply (man)handle it, and touch it up afterwards if needs be. I'm not sure where I'd skewer it tbh, as it'd be a sizeable hole for a fairly hefty chunk of plastic.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-64411842789131354472020-03-07T16:08:27.792-08:002020-03-07T16:08:27.792-08:00I wonder would it be worth temporarily pinning the...I wonder would it be worth temporarily pinning the shield to a skewer or dowel for ease of handling while painting?myincublisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821486616924046474noreply@blogger.com
