Painting Table Saturday, number 22! Thanks again to
Sofie for this wonderful community. I look forward to seeing what everyone has got on their table each weekend.
Ok, something a bit different from me this week. I have an awesome
Hasslefree miniature called Wolf. He's actually a wonderful sculpt inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan. However, he comes with three head options, none of which have long hair. So I did some sculpting myself with putty, adding a mane and headband. Given the high standard of Hasslefree sculpting, I'm not sure I did this 28mm miniature justice. Anyway, I took photos though the painting stages to show my technique.
