Schwarz-Brot Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hi there, another one from my collection. Another favorite sculpt of mine, though the quality is pretty low. It just captures my sense of humor perfectly. Sculpted by Stefan Niehues. Was given for free when buying a ticket for "Mini-Art-Con" in 2009 - a local miniature painters event. Only painted this one this year after several years without touching a brush. I am really proud of this rare little miniature and how it came out. A piece that will stay in my personal collection for sure. 28mm and lots of moldlines - too many to get them all.

georgeusa Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Given the size I have no idea how you painted it that well. There is so much detail in your work. I think my poor old eyes could not do this type of work. Very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarz-Brot Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Thank you, @georgeusa. In many parts it is just trial and error, rinse and repeat. No other way to get things like this tidy. Though the smallest details tend to get easier: there's no shadows or stuff needed to get them right. Your brain adds the missing parts there. Good example is the gauge on the fire extinguisher. I got it right the first time. Other things like the writing on the bomb needed several attempts. This one was a labor of love. I would have trashed any other miniature with so many moldlines. But the mini is very rare and very special and appealing to me, so I fought my way through.

Schwarz-Brot Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 DAMN, on the last transport the tip of the gun broke of and vanished to be never seen again. I HATE it when that kind of happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
