Yep the giant is cool, that is from Darksword miniatures one of Elmore's Masterworks I believe.

double cc thanks pal glad you enjoyed them Tim nope I did that when Ral Partha still had the rights but your right it was orginally by Elmore...actually when I first learned to use oils on my first trip to the Uk back around 94..glad ya like him though..he was a large diorama at one point but the snow turned bad..I may still have a pic or two before it went bad lurking around somewhere I could probably scan from a normal picture. thanks Sean I hoping to be able to put forth a effort like I used to..I told Tim and Ian the 15mm work has got me lazy ..but with people like yourselves to motivate me I think i could get back into the knack.thanks again guys |

Sometimes I have been thinking: "Why doesen't Mick post up his painted minis? Maybe they are too bad he's shy of posting them?". I was totally wrong man! All of these minis are just awesome, my favourites are the German solider, the giant and the turtle/pig guy. Keep 'em coming! |

Mikkel hehe thanks man..its nice to be part of a painting group thats not so cynical, im really happy I have shown these now..definitely a motivator thanks Brenor, I kinda wished I had posted these separately now with various step by steps on how I achieved them..like the barbarian cat rider and his base..the green stuff work and slight conversion of altering the cats pose...I definitely dont mind sharing how I did them.again happy you guys liked them.. |

These are great mate, and as Andre said, the last guy looked like a real person at first! I think its because its so large compared to what I used to seeing, you can paint a lot more detail on him.
Awesome mate!

Nice to see you finally put a showcase up. Just wish you did it a little bit earlier so trying to pick Exchange minis for you coulda been a bit easier!
Nice stuff too! I hope something I sent you will soon grace these pages.

thanks tad heres a look at the orginal art it was based on:  I've always liked larry's art and have painted this piece at least twice..be warned though its a fairly large piece around 4 inches and needs some good gaps filled..if you ever wanted to give the piece a go hes usually available on ebay under ral partha thanks again pal |

see thats one thing i used to like about leafing through my old mans stuff, there were always great bits of artwork like this in the mags and books that went with the mini's, dont get me wrong i like todays art work with mini's, its just this is so much more inspiring. great works
