dadgaddad Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Here's something a bit different for me. Back in the mid-80s when I was very much into Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons and fantasy figures I saw this in a shop in Bath and had to have it. I tried painting it and it didn't turn out well so it was never actually finished. Years went by and interests changed so this plus several other figures were put away and forgotten about. Recently they resurfaced in a box at the back of a cupboard in my mother's house so I have started repainting some of them starting with this one. I stripped it back to bare metal and primed it with Halford's primer and sprayed a base layer of Citadel Scar White. The rest was done with a set of Vallejo Game Colour which bought specially for this project. The base is a piece of plastic covered with Vallejo Plastic Putty and Javis grass. This is what it looked like when I found it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Nice! That must have been fun to have them turn up again 30 years later. I still have a bunch of my D&D lead figures from the good old days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be posting some photos of them in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
