This is a relief, because I almost failed to get him done within the April window for the "Empire model per month" challenge. You know you're not doing very well when getting a single model painted in an entire month is proving difficult. I blame distractions and things.

| Valmir von Raukov, Elector Count of Ostland |

| His face was one of those that is really pretty easy to paint. Obvious highlights and nothing fiddly. |
 |
| Those silly coat tassels. I had real trouble working out what I was doing with those. |
 |
| I may have had to alter the horse's ankle to get it on that angle on the resin base. I honestly can't remember. It was a while ago. |
 |
| He has a Runefang, so I painted it with similar colours to my other Runefangs. I thought I was using exactly the same colours, but when I was done I realised I had used the wrong set of colours - the range around Hawk Turquoise instead of Scaly and Jade Green. Oops. Whatever. |
The next things I paint will be for use in the Albion campaign, so my May addition for the Empire challenge may have to wait until fairly late in the month. I have things undercoated. How hard can it be?
Bah! I have failed to provide enough distractions and things!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you talk a good distraction, but your distractions clearly lack substance.
