This is the first finished miniature I have sculpted. It's a Dwarf
for a Warhammer Fantasy Role Playing game I was playing in. It took
me about a week to complete this miniature working off and on. Off
and on is really the only way you can work on a miniature and now that
I have sculpted a few I really like to have at lest two going at one time
so I don't waste too many hours waiting for putty to dry.
This Dwarf was a real challenge but a real joy to sculpt. I started
with the feet and worked up to the face then added the arms last.
Sadly I was, and still am, unable to sculpt weapons. I tried but
I just couldn't get the hang of it. So rather than abandon an otherwise
successful sculpt I opted for a little assistance from the good folks at
Reaper in the form of taking a sword from one of their very nice weapons
sprues. All in all I don't feel too bad about that since this mini
will never see production since I painted the green as soon as I finished.
The painted miniature, shown below, also carries a Citadel shield.
This was as much a matter of time as anything. I was trying to finish
the mini for a weekend game so I really didn't want to spend time trying
to get a shield done for it.
