| Sarge |  The Barbarian Dude, Redux |
 Member Since: May 10, 2013  RK: 1 MP: 0   | Friday July 4, 2014 2:17 AM Was trying to figure out if I wanted to get in on this months Threat, and decided I would. With it being the 1 year anniversary of the Threat, guess I had better, besides couldn't let all you Puppy Dogs have all the fun, now could I? So, I decided to paint a figure I received a few weeks ago from Raining Frogs Garage, The Barbarian Dude Redux. The Company is from Italy, and this figure is fantastic! The level of detail is amazing. This year I am going outside of my comfort zone and painting figures that I would normally wait on, I am also trying out new techniques. This should cover both areas.      Here's a close up his face, what a great character, notice the scar across his right eye.  Also, not sure if I am going to use the cloak or not, I will lose all that detail on the back, what do you think. Well that is my Threat, looks like a fun one to me. As usual, Sarge Says: PAINT, PUPPY DOGS! PAINT!! Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |

Member Since: May 10, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Sunday July 6, 2014 9:55 AM No, it's not part of a game system, a small company, Raining Frogs Garage, out of Italy that does limited run figures. No, honestly, he was just sitting in front of me while I was thinking of what to do. I think the face is what makes the mini. It doesn't come with a base, so right now I am trying to figure out how to base him. Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |

Member Since: May 10, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Sunday July 6, 2014 11:52 PM Looking at basing up the Dude, here's what I have come with. Just not sure if it looks right, so asking for input, so, what do you think?   I am also looking at putting him on a 50mm base.  Either way, a little behind where I wanted to be at this time, so guess I need to start slapping paint on the Dude. Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |

Member Since: May 10, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Sunday July 13, 2014 11:52 PM Sorry for the lack of an update. Between real life, yard work, and house work, I have not had any time for the hobby. One good note is, I received my Ichiban/Games and Gears Kickstarter brushes.  These are good looking brushes, and I like the feel and heft of them. Since I have not started painting the Dude yet, i am going use these and give a review. If they preform as well as they look, these will be my go to brushes. Well, half the month is gone, so looks like I will have to get the paint flowing. More to come..... Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |

Member Since: October 6, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Monday July 14, 2014 12:49 AM Indeed, get going!  Sorry I don't see your base question. I think the composition on the base is going to be fine, it just looks a bit odd at this stage because it's so empty. I assume you'd be filling out the floor of the wooden plinth with soil and leaves etc. Maybe adding some elevation might work well, putting the tree on a slight hill? Would need to be careful to keep the barbarian the focus though. |

Member Since: May 10, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Monday July 14, 2014 1:07 AM Yeah, been going over the base idea for the last week or so. I have an idea, not sure if i can pull it off. Really don't think I will be able to get the Dude done and base him too, so I am just working on the mini. Once I get the components for the base together I can base him, might make that my next threat....lol. Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |
