Rackham's Kelt musician
My entry, stage 1.
I’m taking part in a painting challenge that Dangereux recently started over at the Rackham forums:
“going through these dark times and as winter is coming along soon (for us in the northern hemisphere) I felt it would be appropriate to focus on the Meanders of Darkness for the time beeing.
Rules; Paint a miniature, plastic or metal, square or round base, from either Acheron, Dirz, Mid Nor, Vile Tis, Drunes or Ophidians. Some Cadwallon miniatures would fit here too, like Morzath, Syth, Scarecrow etc (use common sense).”
I took the entire collection of Rackham miniatures that I had with me here in Japan back to the United States in August save one: the Kelt musician. The LGSs in the Tokyo area have just a handful of R’s miniatures the last time I checked, and I really can’t justify buying another new model for this challenge (my R collection is massive, and I’d rather spend my cash on other things now). But if I recall correctly, a couple of my LGSs had some Rackham bits floating around, and I might be able to snag something small for the base to qualify my entry. That’s tomorrow’s adventure.
Anyway, since I’m already uploading stuff on the Rackham forums, I figured I might as well post my WIP here, too. So far he’s been scraped, filed, sanded, soaped, brushed, and rinsed twice. Today I’ll pin his feet and gather some bits for the base outside. If all goes as planned, he’ll be ready for gesso tomorrow evening.
